I personally enjoyed Up in the Air. It made for a good night at the movies but I have to agree with Sheila Johnston of The Arts Desk http://bit.ly/8DE4g4 who questions whether it really deserves to be in consideration for the Oscars?

The film that made the most impression on me last year was The Hurt Locker - Up in the Air just isn't in the same league.

I really hope Hollywood recognizes The Hurt Locker's director - Kathryn Bigelow - who I believe will only be the fourth woman ever to be nominated for Best Director at the Oscars.

The DVD for The Hurt Locker has just been released. Go get it and feel what great movies do to you. Up in the Air is still in the movies and makes for an enjoyable night out. That's about it.
