uh0h is about zombies, pirates, robots and other cool party themes. Apart from awesome party themes, uh0h spews forth reviews, interviews, shows an occasional photograph (perhaps of something beautiful, something to eat or perhaps a lovely vintage number). Included are other musings arts-wankers, hipsters, night-time-lovers and otherwise-ok-people might enjoy or hate. Also we like flowers. So there.

Film Review: Up in the Air

Excellent satire staring George Clooney as Ryan Bingham. Ryan spends his life traveling around America firing people for a living. His life is all airports, car rentals, hotels and air miles. His company is booming during the recession as employers outsource their firing of workers to Ryan's company. Ryan is only a few miles short of fulfilling his dream of 10 million air miles when his company decides it might be time to make changes.

This is a witty and warm film that is in part a modern love story and part cautionary tale about the problems of human isolation in a modern status driven world. Clooney's best performance to date and a great script make this film a must see.
