Up In The Air

I love air miles. It would also appear I love films about air miles. Or maybe I just love Jason Reitman's film about air miles? Either way, I really did love Up In The Air. It's brilliantly acted, obviously by George (although I've always been a bit non-plussed by his face in the past) but also in the support cast, particularly Anna Kendrick (massively under-rated in New Moon) and Vera Farmiga. The story - man likes a life on the road, man gets threatened with a life at home, man meets woman, man's sister gets married, man decides maybe there might be more to life than a life on the road - manages to twist and turn just as it verges on the clichéd and as a result keeps you interested, entertained and fully involved. It's funny and smart, and it's more than worth 109 minutes of your time.
