"Juno" -- Teen pregnancy becomes less of a burden when the mother involved is the coolest, sharpest-tongued kid in school and sets out to find the perfect adoptive parents for her baby. Ellen Page earned a best-actress Academy Award nomination as the title character, a glib teenager whose support crew includes a best-friend beau (Michael Cera), a sympathetic dad (J.K. Simmons), bold stepmom (Allison Janney) and seemingly ideal couple (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) looking to adopt.

"Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem" -- The clash of the space beasts resumes in this second movie in a series that revived two long-dead sci-fi franchises by making the creatures fight each other. This one sets the relentless aliens loose in Colorado after a spaceship crashes, with an alien-predator hybrid joining the hunt.

"Lars and the Real Girl" -- A social misfit orders a mate by mail -- a life-size, anatomically correct doll that he introduces to family and acquaintances as his new girlfriend. This weird little charmer turns out to be one of the year's sweetest and most chaste romances. Ryan Gosling turns in a wonderfully muted performance as Lars, a recluse working out his many issues with the help of the doll he calls Bianca. Emily Mortimer, Patricia Clarkson and Paul Schneider co-star.
