Awards Season Part I

Every year around this time I begin my mad dash to see pretty much every notable movie in the running for a Globe or SAG or most likely an Oscar as well. This year Sherlock Holmes is at the top of my list but sh*t's not out yet. So I defer to It's Complicated, which-oh right-ISN'T OUT EITHER. Nine looks like a fun, albeit probably overrated option. And still. We've been hearing about all three of these movies for maybe eight years now, but they're not coming out for another few days. So I got myself jazzed up about Up In The Air because a.) it looks less harrowing than Brothers and b.) I thought it might actually be a quality film. Which it was. But woah depression. I get depressed just looking at the word Omaha let alone spending 90 or so minutes imagining a single 48-year-old man living there in an all-white one bedroom apartment and also firing people for a living. And I saw Anna Kendrick on David Letterman (I think) and she was charming and all but the characters she plays are dead infuriating. On the fence about this one.
