of let's start with open their what about that
all the errors story of a guy who %uh goes around the country %um %um
%uh a fiery
%uh hired George clooney %uh hired %uh
%uh by other companies to lay off
significant numbers of people
%um
and he works for a big firm and they go around the country late people off and
sort of he has developed a lifestyle in the process of doing that
%uh that has enabled him to sort of be cut off from sort of intimate human
contact sort of that tallies able maybe
to to give people this horrible life changing
%uh news that they get
at and so %uh in the end he's the star of it and that he had any meets the ear
for me go along the way they develop a little relationship and it's in human
contact with him
%uh and against that backdrop is for changes going on in his company
I I can't replace the young executives for who wants to make that process of
firing people
even more horrible and distant promote than it already is by doing it on the
lines he would even that nobody would even tell your face the been fired
you sit in front of a computer largely well
that's the story the movie and his sort of
emotional development is that
all right of how bout with someone that of would you
you know actually this movie really kind of threw me I was really enjoying it
for the most part and to sum it up really of laughs
twenty minutes or so it
kind of fell apart from it
%uh you know I
personal feeling is that for the most part
this stuff that
all have to the airport was the sharpest strongest up for the vote
and and carlos is traveling to dallas colleagues any law that was sort of the
leaks that it's in
how you get through that to the security line rightly and
how you get your coffee and keep your that I I hit that all the travel right
and as a study inefficiency insular and really sharp issues training
and kendrick here's what you do things that
the profiling is twenty-fold certain people through security
was really sharp and really funny
but I felt like the emotional stuff
you know as far as him dealing with relationships of learning to cut it
the of real personal got a weak and then the and we know that totally for me for
this loop
you know days later I'm still not really sure how I feel about
I think that I mean my mandate of blake
you know that it one of the national board of review of esprit for the year
so that there are getting us because there are a number of critics of the
who've already to put it as that their top movie of the year at least so far
while the so I'm curious what you thought of and did you did you like it
love it was or wasn't planted evidence or by then
well the ending is a surprise is certainly not really the the ending you
see coming I I will say that it's taken me a couple of days later
I would overall say that wasn't a good thing that that it wasn't unexpected but
I I understand it and it took a different
well that's what you know and on the third level I wonder with the that I
felt it without giving too much away
I find the ending to be
on a certain level extremely tragic
there might be kissed me a motion we rejecting that
the way his character and up
in my interpretation of that that that's what I have a problem
well that that you know that's interesting because all right
%uh I like the ending
but in terms of what happened an ID techs again thrown for a loop I thought
that's what was going on
again at with stabbing what you're going to live to the event America a new
global trade group or of work that a you bruce willis was dead the effort by a so
I I saw coming by
I felt like he didn't quite and the movie so it I have a different problem
with and the like
it just kind of let the day like up
the case there was no panic include lot of big fan of that I'm a big fan of that
kind of ending I'm a big fan of the and sopranos of a penetrating cheers to
valleys of major series that recent criticism
again we ought to give the ending a leading control of direction so I don't
think I I don't think we are but it is surprising and it is
a little bit
there's no definitive stamp on it
there's certainly no definitive stamp on what you're left with is wondering
what's going to happen to George clooney character outright bingham
the next day
rick only a brief recap like of white house they have attacked should
recognize that that isn't it well and I think that part of my
issues here is that I thought like with the way the of egos and and
the tone of kind of the third activity
if you've been watching a lot of the promotional material for this and seeing
the trailers
I feel like to give a much different sense of the way the movies could have
done
if you go in thinking this is going to be kind of the light
fraught the holiday movie
that's not what this is well you know I I don't want to get too too much on to
that point but it's such a good one that I I have to mention I just saw moving
today that were not reveal called everybody's on
with the Robert deniro advocate that analyst and rockwell drew barrymore
it appears to be
based on the posters in everything the sort of guy is others on his own and
he's
if kids don't come home for the holidays so he sets out to do it
and I think this is going to be a holiday family coming together movie
I've got it and
so that and it's really misrepresented those trailers and I think that's a
little bit from here
I
they've been doing that a lot of I mentioned it on at the movies when I was
doing that for for a good part of the year
a lot of movies
the trailers clearly designed to get people into theaters and they don't care
at all the going to deliver a totally different movie that what you expect
from the for now
I think that all be don't get us wrong it was one movie it all right
at least two thirds of writing almost all of it was a fun movie it was great
writing
you know I was clever I laughed I enjoyed it
my problems opposite by I thought that the time I'm really enjoying this movie
but only Cuba's he didn't say a word
I I thought like that okay I enjoy that movie but that's not going to make my
top hundred Islamic but up to a good
this is going to get
solid movie well that's the other thing is I feel like you know with all the
buzz was happy about it
really this is kind of just the kind of small personal story about one guy
right but it's not
it's not a at bay it's not the most important movie the year
the followed fail
but I think a lot of people are expecting old this movie the a much
bigger
more importantly that really rights icon automatic your expectations is it you're
not going to a movie the things that really the greatest thing on earth at
the end and it turns out it's just nice movie that because
i'd look ID
I'm shocked that they considered for an oscar and I like it but I'm shocked that
no idea about what the actual
well I don't know if they were that compound that is a small story house at
their is a bigger picture to it and especially right now light of the
economic situations where
situation where he works a George clooney care to work for this big
company
at what level of paraphrase but his boss situation they've been
you know says %uh you know it we're looking at massive layoffs in detroit
the recession is skyrocketing the the end of the day by is fall apart the
dollar's worth nothing
this is going to be a great time for us
it is because people are going to get
well I and it's awesome
there we see that
as we've seen that in this sort of times of massive economic stress of hardship
is incredibly profitable some people an incredible sort of %uh inouye has been
an incredible with for some people another great thing they did in this
movie
the fact of that matter as
to what may be my top we demand working now and and maybe my house cleaning lady
working
I mean I haven't seen her for being a movie and just go
I don't care what it is on that strong so I think it is actually
and everything that
she never an issue got a late-breaking life sort of with the departing chief
worked before that I was a big breakthrough role for Martin scorsese
given that part
and kendrick
up plays the young executive who wants to fire everybody over the internet over
to one line
no I did like new moon or twilight she plays the friend in twilight
%uh %uh %uh kristin storage friend
I thought she stole twilight
I've said it in my review of of that camera she is she's great and I think
she's great again here so I think three performances elevated
I was about to hear
I would think not
larry can think of movies that are better
but I think it's a top-notch autopsy we're going up because with with acting
performances
I mean yeah the reform yet is fantastic and the parties really well written for
really well and eric cantor part is
great and she really really skills without accreditation reitman wrote it
%uh with %uh killed her a democrat
okay right and and Clinton tested this is a really good role for him
you know unlike a lot of times where we can see him being like the fleet one
answer
one of the nice things about this is in this film you actually kind of fee
him play a character that falls for someone
and you do go on that journey with him any really dragged along which
is one of the more engaging things I think happens to this fellow all right
so for the first time were actually rate of war
okay
I don't larry
I mean the lady is a very simple rating out of ten
any number out of ten any
ll fraction of what everyone out of ten
and that like my sense of light
it for me and eight is like okay that's a kick ass movie you gotta go see it in
the theater right
up but it's six is movie I would go to see defeated fellow straight so on that
scale
seven and a half
so I really liked it
but it didn't
like go over the thing about all you gotta go see this movie so I pose seven
we would high you know I
kind of there with you I think it's a really solid so I think it's something
people from the
the they were doing numbers are going to go
%uh with boeing's recent
play does that report
the managements that on a scale of one to ten
I give up in the air
an atlanta
well that on on the report by two packed slow moving its %uh it is %uh certainly
if I were to make a list of the ten best movies that this year of course there
are two of contamination now
all right now why I'm not I think she too much stuff to come out there later
this month it certainly would crack like that
all right so that's the fifth to summarize that the thought of school
it isn't
yeah I like movies
yeah like movies and I would really like to travel by the way if you care all
about trial
trial
