Up in the Air
I do not normally write movie reviews but I cannot stop my strong urge to do so after watching Up in the Air.

This movie is a breath of fresh air. I like the whole plot, the issues it raises both about the brutality of the economic world, the freedom of being single, and the beautiful views from the air. I can probably agree with 75% of the sentiment the lead character (George Clooney) Ryan Bingham has, though not until the end. Do I ever want to be grounded? Probably not.

It is a light-hearted but thought-provoking movie. It is an atypical Hollywood movie, it is quite unique. It questions our stereotypes, and it searches the thoughts deep inside our minds - something that one may not be aware of. The movie speaks into the lives of people in this age, and of this time. It is prophetic.

Top acting, top script (superb dialogues).
