Jason Reitman’s Academy Award nominated Up In the Air comes out on DVD and Blu-ray today. I thought this was a pretty solid movie. George Clooney was good in the film, as well as Vera Farmiga. And Jason Reitman is certainly a director to watch. His dad, Ivan, may have directed Ghostbusters, but I think Jason might end up being a better director. Anything’s possible.
Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story comes out today. Though I don’t think it’s his best filmmaking, I think everyone should see this movie and get pissed off about things. That’s always what Michael Moore does best, riling people up into doing something, and this film is no different. See it. Watch it. Know it.
Another documentary I’m incredibly keen on seeing came out on DVD today: The Brothers Warner. It’s a history of the Warner Brothers and produced by Cass Warner, a direct descendant. It looks incredible and I love old Hollywood History, so this one is a must have.
I would mention that Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day comes out today, but I hated the first one because it was terrible and I don’t see how this one would be any different.
