The last movie I saw worth writing about was Up in the Air. The only problem is that I don't find it worth writing about. It's one of those movies where you feel more inspired by the commercial than you do the actual movie. I actually feel that way about one of the movies I've worked on (and I think it had everything to do with the music), but that's beside the point.
George Clooney is a man who distances himself from everything, especially family. He flies around firing people, and his success is being part of elite clubs because of loyalty. He meets a woman in his travels who shares this same interest. It's about sex at first, but he brings her to his younger sister's wedding (because he decided to give his family a chance.) Parallel to this, a new girl at his company is revolutionizing things--firing people over the internet.
With both plot lines he learns, and that's nice, but not quite as nice as my expectations had hoped it would be. Moral--don't wait till it's too late to value what matters most.
Back to the commercial, it also includes the best cinematography. So save yourself some time and a little bit of heartbreak.
