Ok, I know this has only just released in Ireland so technically it’s 2010 here but it released in the US on 23rd Dec 2009, just in time for the Oscars. Up In The Air is based on a novel of the same name by Walter Kirn. I don’t know that novel but I am […]
moreAnd I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. REVELATIONS 6:8 I was looking forward to The Road. As I mentioned in some previous posts, I’m all about post-apocalyse movies.
moreTwo movies going on general release this week that I think could be worth a watch. The first is Up in the Air and the second is The Book of Eli Up in the Air comes to us from Jason Reitman, director of Juno and Thank You for Smoking, and is based on the novel […]
