High Cinema
They say every year ending in 9 produces a classic. In 99 it was American Beauty, 89 Dead Poets Society, 79 Kramer Vs. Kramer. For the year 2009 Up In The Air is by far this masterpiece.
The story centers around Ryan Bingham (Clooney) who spends over 300 days a year away from home. Unlike most people, Ryan loves this. Constantly traveling is his life. His job is too fire employees for bosses...

James Cameron's Hype: The Movie
Its been 12 years since Mr. Cameron has released a non-documentary film. Everyone remembers Titanic. How could it be forgotten? The highest grossing film of all time with multiple Oscar wins. It is also one of the most hyped and overrated films of all time. No film could hold a candle to how much people went absolutely insane about a film that was good but not excellent. Cameron has topped...
Critics Choice Nominations- Best Picture
WHO GIVES A SHIT, AMIRITE?!?! WRONG via LATimes: “In its first 14 years, the Critics Choice Movie Awards has had one of the strongest correlations between its winners and those who go on to win Oscars. It correctly forecast the Academy’s best picture in eight of the last 10 years.” (All Caps indicates I’ve seen the film)

The Grammy's Are Fail!! →
The Black Eyed Peas are not known for innovative arrangements and insightful lyrics. If you believed that last sentence then please stop reading this blog… What the fuck are the Grammy Foundation thinking? Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Taylor Swift , Lady Gaga all nominated for album of the year. This award show has lost all of my respect. 2008 was a great year for music. My biggest problem...
