Oh and I didn't realize that Rosamund Pike was in it and I love her! Not sure why they cast Peter Sarsgaard but he seemed fine in the role, I can't really judge how good his accent is, though. I kept thinking Dominic Cooper should have had the role.

I'd forgotten about this one. Thanks to your review, it's on my list.
Might have to wait for the January doldrums and/or DVD, though. I still have to catch Avatar and Up in the Air!
I saw It's Complicated a few nights ago and unexpectedly liked it. I feared there'd be too much older-woman-wish-fulfillment content, which sometimes gets so outlandish that it has started really getting on my nerves. While was "aspirational," it seemed reasonably natural in the context of the plot.

I saw Up in the Air yesterday, and am glad I did, although - ugh - Vera Farmiga's haircut and make up were very irritating.

I haven't seen Up in the Air, but I recently wracked my brain, because the name Vera Farmiga sounded so familiar. Then I realized that she played Caitlin opposite Heath in the series "Roar".

Yes, it's part of why I wanted to see it. I really enjoyed her in Roar.

That's funny, I didn't even recognize her. Maybe it's because I thought she was pretty weak in ROAR (Plus she was a damn Xian, lol!) but I did like her in UP IN THE AIR.
