I therefore have three questions.

a) Up in the Air has been getting awards but has the potential from the premise to be a bit smug and unbearable. Is it? And, given it's a comedy, is it actually in any way funny?

b) The Book of Eli looks like it could either be quite interesting or just a fairly dumb action pic masquerading as something quite interesting. Which is it, if either?

c) Is anything else out I might want to watch instead?
