Sorry Folks, No Image Is Here.

On March 9th, Paramount Home Entertainment will release Up In The Air on Blu-ray and DVD! The Oscar nominated movie is co-written and directed by Oscar nominee Jason Reitman and stars George Clooney. I haven’t seen the film yet but I’ll probably catch it when it arrives on DVD. It looks like a good film, and I always like Clooney’s roles. Based on other Award shows, I don’t think it will win Best Picture though.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Academy Award® winner George Clooney “gives the performance of his career” (Lou Lumenick, New York Post) in the smart, funny and thought-provoking film UP IN THE AIR coming in for a landing on DVD and Blu-ray March 9, 2010 from Paramount Home Entertainment. Called “the movie of the year, the movie of the moment” (Tom Carson, GQ) and named by over 200 critics as one of the top 10 films of 2009, UP IN THE AIR tells the story of a man discovering that life is not simply about the journey alone, but about the personal connections made along the way.
Co-written and directed by Oscar® nominee Jason Reitman (Juno),
