The Toronto Film Festival (for some reason abbreviated “TIFF”) brings some great indie alums when the annual fall film festival arrives in Canada. The most-buzzed about flick this year has to be Jason Reitman’s Up In The Air Pulse (aka Octane) movie . You might be a bit confused on what it is; after all, the only reviews we’ve gotten are from Stephen Farber (THR), Pete Hammond (Boxoffice Magazine) and Todd McCarthy (Variety). (Each one has been positive.) Don’t worry, I’ll try to make sure that you understand by the time you finish reading this article. Well, let’s start off with the co-writer-director Jason Reitman. You may know Reitman from the Oscar-winning Juno The Chumscrubber hd , or from the highly underrated Thank You For Smoking. While Diablo Cody isn’t writing Up In The Air, it is based on Walter Kirn’s fantastic novel. Kirn also wrote the book Thumbsucker, which was later turned into what I thought was a snarky cult hit of a movie.

Up In The Air’s plot is highly secretive. In fact, the only details we’ve gotten is just that Ryan Bingham is a corporate downsizing expert who’s almost gotten ten million frequent flyer miles, and that’s threatened when he meets the “constant traveler woman of his dreams.” George Clooney stars as Ryan, which is always a sign of a good movie. I’ve previously called Clooney one of the rare A-list actors who have always been on their game. Ocean’s Thirteen, Burn After Reading, Syriana. Even his upcoming Men Who Stare at Goats BgFATLdy full movie

looks like a regular brilliant-asshole Clooney flick. Co-starring is Jason Bateman, J.K Simmons, Zach Galifianakis, Chris Lowell, Vera Farmiga and Danny McBride. The trailer and a 66-second clip were released on September 9^th and it blew my mind. It doesn’t remind me so much of Juno Trapeze download Wild Bill: Hollywood Maverick ipod download The Condemned dvd Rise of the Footsoldier

as it does Thank You For Smoking, with Clooney’s Bingham the new Nick Naylor. The trailer may just be a narration (that I’m told is a speech Clooney gives in the movie), yet I’m already sold. I’m unsure if it’s because of the added music track that gently plays in the background or the swirling clouds, but I never watch a recent trailer twice and I did for Up In The Air. If there’s an Avatar for the IFC crowd, Up In The Air is definitely it. This is going to be great!
