Up in the Air - George Clooney plays George Clooney in, what I thought was a very well-crafted script with realistic dialogue and situations. I didn't think I'd like it at first, but I came away from it satisfied. 8.5/10

The Hurt Locker - Man the tenseness in the movie is almost too much to take at times. Unfortunately I felt little to no attachment to any of the characters, and found myself not really caring what happened to them in the long run. Well crafted movie overall, but, in my estimation, nothing too memorable. 7.5/10
