“Up in the Air” Movie Review
“Up in the Air” Plot Summary
With a job that has him traveling around the country firing people, Ryan Bingham leads an empty life out of a suitcase, until his company does the unexpected: ground him.
A Very Significant Film.
I’m not a particularly big fan of romantic comedies but after hearing positive feedback from the critics (Particularry Roger Ebert) and that it had themes of our economic recession I felt that that it wouldn’t hurt to see it, My expectations were surpassed and it is now, in my opinion, one of the best films of the year
Ryan Bingham is an socially isolated Corprate downsizing expert whom also gives motivational speeches on how to ‘unpack your backpack’ which is essentially a metaphor for people and things in life holding you back from your dreams (I can relate to his character because I tend to isolate myself too), When a young naive woman comes up with a way of conveniently firing people online with no travel costs, Bingham must teach Kendrick’s character the dignity of their work, being there for them rather than coldly firing them on a messaging device. Clooney’s Character was compelling and his performance brilliant, Vera Farmiga & Anna Kendrick also played convincing roles but Clooney’s cynical performance stole the show though as the film progressed he showed a more emotional human side to him which makes me feel he deserves a nomination for Best Actor
The best element in this film is the screenplay, It intelligently blends cynical pessimistic wit and emotional drama in a very unique way that I rather enjoyed, I hope it gets some recognition at the Oscars a win, if not a nomination
This film contains themes of human relationships, life choices, the indoctrination of technology in our society, isolation, family support and our economic recession and the themes are not blatantly shoved down our throats. This film is smart, witty and emotional. In my opinion this film is one of the best films of the year, 8/10.

“The Blind Side” Movie Review
“The Blind Side” Plot Summary
The story of Michael Oher, a homeless and traumatized boy who became an All American football player and first round NFL draft pick with the help of a caring woman and her family. add synopsis
A Great Act of Kindness
I did not see this as a movie about white guilt, or any of the other negative stereotypical connotations one has come to expect when seeing a story like this. If anything, the film could be seen as a story of how a kind family opened their hearts, to a poor soul in need. This one act enriched the lives of them all
Sandra Bullock was at her absolute best as she lost herself in this role. Kathy Bates delivered as always she is such a pro. The actor Quinton Aaron won my heart after his first five minutes as I teared up looking at him and feeling his utter pain and despair
I’m not familiar with Tim McGraw as a singer but his performance in this film makes me feel he has a future in this profession. They all delivered and I was so moved by the over-all experience and grateful for a woman called Leigh Anne Touhy
This movie deserved 10 stars!
