George Clooney is kind of awesome

I see a lot of movies. And I've realized that I'm such a weeper. Weep is perhaps a bit strong. I'm highly teary. And whenever I think of the I think of Jude Law in The Holiday sitting there crying and it makes me teary again. But I do cry quite easily.

Tonight I went to see Up in the Air (who dictates capitalization, by the way?) and I really liked it. It was totally well done and funny and touching and I feel like all I do lately is gush about movies. Has that become me? Let me just say that I'm not going to start gushing about Sherlock Holmes. That movie was okay.

George Clooney was excellent and Anna Kendrick has come far from her days in Twilight. She wasn't bad in Twilight as Jessica, on the contrary I thought she was one of the better actresses in that whole shenanigins but it seems like a huge leap from Twilight to George Clooney. Does he have an Oscar? Good for her. Anyway, she was really good and deserves all the success she gets.

But yes, I thought it was funny and real and sad. Not predictable exactly, but you could definitely see an outline of where it was going. The ending was sort of happy/sad but in an ambiguous way. There was definitely some character development in there, which I happen to love in a movie.

Before I finish, I wanted to mention, for anyone who is still lacking the knowledge, that I have started up yet another blog and you should read it. Every day. Or maybe just every day that I post something new. Otherwise it's pathetic. But yes, it will be awesome. And that's a semi-promise, as in, I can get out of it if I want. http://girlmeetsliterature.wordpress.com

Yes, I'm trying wordpress. Do I feel like a traitor? No, not at all. I'm just being thorough.
