Up In the Air. George Clooney. That chick from the first Twilight. He travels around the country and lives in hotels. He loves skymiles and collects them. He wants to hit 10 million. There are only 6 people in the world who have done it. Thats less people than have walked on the moon. Whats her face assistant wants to revolutionize the company using webcams to fire people than face-to-face, the way George Clooney does it and is so good at. He avoids relationships and lives an unhealthy existance. In the end they learn something from one another. You can't fire people electronically, its just bad all around. She quits. He learns that you need to have relationships. Kind of a true to life thing for GC, the eternal bachelor. Can't believe Anna Kendrick, who was in shitty Twilight got this role and was nominated for an Oscar. Odd world indeed. Grade: C Watchable. Average.

Little Ashes. Robert Pattinson or R-Patz as I like to call him. He plays Salvador Dali during his young college days. He is arrogant, crazy, eccentric and kind of a weird quiet jerk. There is Frederico who falls in love with Dali and it seems they share something great, but Dali shies away and denies the relationship. He moves to Paris, abandoning this great guy, mostly to pursue a career as a great painter. Fame and fakeness override true love for him. It seems like he couldn't face reality. You really feel terrible for Frederico who cared very much for Dali who honestly was his only love in life. It was a moving performance by Javier Beltrán, who really did MUCH better than R-patz, who was decent. Better than Twilight. He was super weird and as always freaking awkward as hell. Which is why I see the reason they paired him with K-Stew (Kristen Stewart) for the Twilight series. They both make me cringe with awkwardness every GD time I watch them. It really bugs. BUT... I think the kid has the balls to really dig deep into his roles, which I respect him for. I guess the real Dali shared many sentimental letters which make people wonder about this relationship, but he always denied until very late in his life when he started admitting the possibility and bringing things to the surface. Either way, interesting story and the man was a total acid trip to be sure. Grade: B- Watchable. Interesting.
