As the holiday Oscar buzz season carries on, I'm getting more and more excited for Jason Reitman's new film "Up in the Air" with George Clooney. Even with the onslaught of positive reviews, still something was making feel that... 'hey, it's just another dramedy about life'. And perhaps it is, but then again so was Reitman's previous two films and both were not good, but great films. In anycase apple.com/trailers has an extended trailer that includes some scenes as well as two quite humorous clips. In addition to that if you have a twitter (which everyday I find a new reason to be happy with mine) then I suggest following Reitman as his tweets are insightful, not just into the film but into who he really is. And extension of that would be to follow 'Shaun of the Dead' and 'Hot Fuzz' director Edger Wright. The two banter back and fourth on an almost daily basis and it is extremely funny.A little note about reviews this week... if things work out then I may have quite a number of reviews posted which would include Roland Emmerich's "2012" (sorry, but I refuse to miss massive CGI armageddon from Emmerich. I was raised on it after all), George Clooney other picture "The Men Who Stare At Goats", Milla Jovovich and "The Fourth Kind" and maybe just maybe Jim Carrey's "A Christmas Carol". But we'll see.
