'Up in the Air': ***1/2stars

i had no desire to see this film when it opened. i had been disappointed by most of george clooney's films. color me wrong! thank the gods for netflix. this is one helluva brilliant film. i now think it was the best film of 2009. and clooney was brilliant and brilliantly supported by the always amazing vera farmiga and the up and coming anna kendrick. director jason reitman has made a classic film.

so now i had to re-look at and readjust my best of the past decade and add this brilliant work. and as an aside it also has the best opening credits i've ever seen on film.

Happy Birthday Chris

Happy Birthday Ali and Debbie

this pope, and consider his roots, are pulling the same bs as the germans and the response to the jews in 1939-1945.

holy mother the church is just a lecherous old whore now!

A Day Care Center vs The Vatican

if a day care center had a pederast that they were protecting and we found out would we demand it be closed down?

if your answer is YES why would the same not be true of the vatican???

CLOSE IT DOWN!!!
