Wonderful Classic

My parents watch It's a Wonderful Life (1947) every single Christmas and for the first time, I watched it all the way through. I was really impressed with the amount of humor, the warmth, and the message...all without color.

George Bailey is a talented, likable, above average guy living in Bedford Falls. Bedford Falls has the opposite of opportunity for a guy like him. Through many different happenings, he is constantly held back from his opportunities. Even through all that he is wonderfully successful, marries a wonderful woman and has wonderful children. But he is tempted to suicide after a horrible mistake is made at his business.

God sends an angel (second class) to save him. This classic is original, heartwarming and shows that one person can have an huge impact on those around him.

It's a Wonderful Life runs 130 minutes of black and white awesomeness. It is a great family film and shows that the bells and whistles of technology don't make a movie. I give it 10 ramheads out of 10.

Clever Clooney Clearly Cleans (CL)House

The Golden Globe house-cleaning film Up in the Air, starring George Clooney has no plot, no action, and no special effects. I. t also deserved the awards it won.

Up in the Air is a story about a man who fires people for a living. He travels across the country, living out of a suitcase--and loving every minute of it. He even speaks to professionals about letting go of everything. Then stuff happens.

This film makes one think about priorities and life. Pretty good for a film without a plot, eh?

George Clooney is brilliant. Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga are great supporting actresses. The music is sufficient, but not memorable.

Up in the Air runs 108 and is rated R. Do not show this to your kids, the language gets bad at times, there is some sexuality (they don't show too much) and any kids really won't get it or appreciate it. I give Up in the Air 10 ramheads out of 10.
