Up in the Air
Thoughtfully written and wonderfully acted. The characters were very real and the depiction of the firing process in today's economy was brilliant. Bahsing business is easy (which is why it appeals to the lazy and self-indulgent Michael Moore) but seeing and hearing the reactions of the people effected was very powerful. Meanwhile George Clooney continues to amaze me as he easily goes from Michael Clayton to Burn After Reading to that stupid Goat flick to this film. He has Cary Grant grace and Tom Hanks likability making him in my view one of the best of our generation.
