Saturday night was Up In The Air. It could not have come out at a better time. The story of a man whose job is to fire people, realizing that he may becoming obsolete. Perfect. The performances? Brilliant. George Clooney as always is perfection. But the real star is Anna Kendrick. She goes toe to toe with Clooney and steals every scene. As for the writing and story, anyone who has ever had to travel for work a lot will find it totally rings true. It's funny. It's touching. It makes you think. GREAT!
Sunday afternoon was devoted to Avatar. I say devoted because it is a full afternoon event. It's a long movie. Over 3 hours. But it was great! While the story is not the most original, it's visually AMAZING! Stunning. It took some time to get used to the 3D glasses. (Although they are rather cool looking. Not the old school red and blue variety. These ones looked like modified Rayban sunglasses.) Definitely a movie you need to see in the theatre. And Sam Worthington in 3D? Yes please!!
I give each movie two big thumbs up!
