Best Story of 2009 Out This Week

The best story of last year, Up In The Air is now out on Blu-ray and DVD (Amazon Associate links, click through and I’ll get a kickback). Precious is too, but that seems more like a rental than a purchase to own.

I’ve gone back and forth on what kind of ending the authors of the film were going for, but my understanding now is that my original analysis was correct. I won’t blow the surprise if you haven’t seen it yet, but if you’re interested you can read my review of Up in the Air.
