Peter (from Slashfilm) and I usually record our video blog’s in separate locations through the magic of the internet, but since we’re both attending this year’s Toronto Film Festival, we’ve decided to record some video blogs talking about some of the movies we’ve seen at the festival. We’ve tried to keep the video blogs short and to the point, but, as always, it sometimes goes longer than planned. But if you know us, that’s to be expected.

Anyway, after the jump you can watch Peter and I talk about the new Coen Brothers movie “A Serious Man” and the new Jason Reitman movie “Up in the Air”. We loved both films and the buzz you’re hearing is totally accurate. Listen to what we thought after the jump:

And one final thing before watching. We both want to give a thank you to Tim Horton’s by Union Station for providing the location for our video blogs. While you may not think a coffee shop is the right place to record some conversations about movies, we discovered it works quite well. Especially if you’re able to mooch free wi-fi from the building next door….

    Ha, I like how Peter said “will average people get this”. I know he doesn’t intend to come off mean by that, but it almost sounds pompous. The average joe works a crap load of hours and there’s always small sacrifices you have to make. If anything, the average joe will be able to connect easily to Up In the Air. There’s plenty of professions that include working more much longer hours than online movie writers. I’m not arguing against the fact that what you guys do is hard work, I’m sure it is, but there are definitely plenty of more jobs out there that are much more straining, time consuming, and come with more sacrifices.

    By the way, another great video blog as usual. Even though Peter’s comment kind of irked me, still a fun blog.
