Up In The Air **with Clooney was ok but the end left me wanting a better outcome. I guess it was meant to be that way to show how life turns out sometimes. There is also a scene where Vera Farmiga gets into bed naked with Clooney and after googling some pics of her I would bet it was a body double. If it was her, she was smoking.
You Don’t Know Jack **** staring Al Pacino was very well done but I guess due to the content did not draw a big crowd. I felt it was good to see the side of the story that the media did not give us. Assisted suicide is still a big issue as well as self inflicted suicide so this movie raises good awareness. Why is it OK to put your dog or cat to sleep when terminally ill but not a human making the decision for themselves?
Alice in Wonderland ***was a decent Disney flick with some good effects. Mia Wasikowska plays the best part in this one and is believable doing it. I was not so pleased with Johnny Depps’s role as it was not much more than a runover of his Willy Wonka act.
The Lovely Bones **** I may have commented on this one before but we watched it again with friends. Peter Jackson just makes great movies. This is so well done I could watch it over and over. I’m glad they opted to leave the rape-murder scene to the imagination since many people could not even finish the book after that chapter.
Extraordinary Measures **** with Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford is another awesome movie. This may be my favorite HF movie as he plays a part that reminds you of Clint in Gran Torino. Touching real life story about Pompeii disease which is a rare form of MD. Fraser has also matured into a very believable actor with almost any role from serious to comedy.
