9:20 PM
1. OCEANS 13(2007) Director: Steven Soderbergh
Correcting the too-smart-for-its-own-good Ocean's Twelve, the final chapter in the Ocean's Trilogy goes right back to the slick roots of the first one. Clooney, Pitt, Damon et al are all back on their A-game and it shows throughout. You can see everyone's having a blast and it's hard not to be swept along with it. Al Pacino plays a ruthless casino owner who's double-crossed one of the crew (Elliot Gould) and has left him penniless. With the assured mix of high-tech robbery, surprise cameos and semi-baffling endings, Ocean's Thirteen is the perfect bookend to one of Clooney's greatest works.
2. Up in the Air (2009) Director: Jason Reitman
Ryan, a corporate downsizing expert, takes his new colleague on his office tour. On the way he meets another flier and the two begin a casual relationship.
