Up In The Air will leave you feeling down in the dumps...

I managed to see a very good movie over the weekend. The film, Up in the Air, has garnered some great reviews, so I figured it was time to take a break from all the football bowls and head for the theater. Great flick, but beware Up in the Air will leave you down in the dumps.

George Clooney plays corporate downsizing expert Ryan Bingham and his job is to travel around the country and hand out pink slips to the sad and sometimes disgruntled corporate employee. If that isn't depressing enough, Clooney will make it even tougher on you, the moviegoer, as he plays his part so well that you actually begin to feel sorry for him. There are great lines in the movie and chances are you will find yourself laughing out loud on more than one occasion. But I'll warn you again, you won't be leaving the movie house, clicking up your heels.
