Up in the Air is a poignant, fresh, and remarkable movie that brightens the day of anyone who sees it.  Adapted from the book of the same name, director Jason Reitman delivers his best movie to date, quite a feat after the presentations of Thank you for Smoking and most recently Juno.

Ryan (George Clooney) works in an unusual industry.  He fires people for a living.  The economic meltdown means high times for him and companies hire him to lay off their clients when they don’t have the balls to do it themselves.  He is traveling almost every day of the year and his goal in life is to reach the 10 million frequent miles club, a feat only few have done.  He lives this sheltered and lonely lifestyle although thrives on the mere acquaintances and conversations he has with everyday people.  Natalie (Anna Kendrick) is the stud recruit out of Cornell who helps the company develop a way to lower costs by implementing new technology to help them fire people over the computer.  When Ryan realizes his lifestyle for living on the road will vanish, he pleads with his boss not to do this, and that the human connection side of firing someone has to be done face to face.  His boss (the always funny Jason Bateman), sends Natalie with Ryan to learn the ropes of the trade from him as the two set off around the country.

The movie crosses generational gaps between the two with everything from work, to dreams, and of course love.  Love something Ryan doesn’t want or believe in, manages to fall for an independent business woman named Alex (Vera Farmiga) who also is always on the road.  The two begin this quasi-relationship and Natalie learns as much from Ryan about the job and life and he does from her.

This movie has Clooney playing typical good looking, suave, confident and cocky Clooney, and it fits to a “T” here and you wouldn’t want it any other way.  The role was made for him and his charm and wit can be seen throughout the whole movie with the excellent script he was given to work with.  Whether talking about life with Natalie, or flirting with Alex, this is one movie that will have you pleased throughout.

Being a fan of the past two Reitman movies, it’s hard to imagine he could top those, and he did.  Direction and script were spot on and this movie had everything you could want in it for it to succeed.  This easily is one of the best movies of the year, Clooney will be nominated for best Actor, and this may even be the front runner for movie of the year.  Although I don’t think the Oscar Academy will give this movie the award, it certainly is in my top 3 of the year.

George Clooney is going to have a very merry Christmas, and a happy Thanksgiving. It will be an end-of-the-year blow-out for the “silver fox”, releasing three major films in the coming fall/winter months. The man already has Grant Heslov’s screwball comedy The Men Who Stare At Goats, which he both stars in and produces, out this past weekend. (Goats Semi-Pro film Ever After full movie exceeded expectation at the box office, debuting with $12.7 million, topping The Informant!, where he last played producer).

This Friday, Clooney’s highly-anticipated Fantastic Mr. Fox, director Wes Anderson’s first animated feature, hits theaters as well. And a few weeks later in December, he’ll finish it off with Jason Reitman’s hugely-awaited Up In The Air.

This may just be me, but I expect Fox and Air to at least be nominated for some kind of Oscar come February. This spur of great movies isn’t so unlike Clooney. If you’ll think back a few years to the fall 2005/winter 2006 Oscar season, there came a bunch of Academy Award contenders all starring, you guessed it, George Clooney.

The historic-drama Good Night, and Good Luck, in which news anchor Edward R. Murrow (played by David Strathairn) attempted to remove Senator Joseph McCarthy from office, gave Clooney two more Oscar nods: one for Best Achievement in Directing and another shared with Grant Heslov for Best Original Screenplay. Clooney won his first Best Actor in a Supporting Role Oscar for playing Bob Barnes in Syriana, the thriller about people involved in the oil business. In one of my favorite films of 2006 The Good German, I was sad to see Clooney’s wonderful performance as Jake Geismer ignored. Still, the film’s composer Thomas Newman took Oscar home for Best Original Score.

Some people flat out dislike George Clooney, which I can respect. Although you can’t deny the fact that he makes some pretty damn good films. I’ve always loved Clooney’s work, and look forward to the future spectacles he’ll star in, produce or hopefully even direct. Being a freak for Where the Wild Things Are, I’ll be a part of the audience for Fantastic Mr. Fox this weekend, and one of the many who will take up seats in December for Reitman’s Up In The Air.

Up in the Air’ is a very hard film to explain.  Something about a guy who goes around collecting frequent flyer miles and has no personal relationships.  In writing this review I was hoping to shed some new light on the plot that would make readers jump into theaters on November 25th however I can’t really. The fact is ‘Up in the Air’ just very hard to summarize (well summarize and make it sound cool) without spoiling most of the movie. Just know that I liked this movie.

George Clooney is Ryan Bingham a corporate downsizing expert who travels the country doing a job some employers are too afraid to do: downsize. Sometimes employees cry, other times they use a string of colorful but not to original words, and occasionally they turn violent. These are a few reasons a company might hire a consultant like Ryan Bigham to do their dirty work. This job allows Bingham to remain in motion at all times making very few personal connections. In a hotel bar Bingham meets Alex (Vera Farmiga), he takes her to his room and then they part ways agreeing to meet again should their layovers ever cross ways. Bingham goes back to his corporate office for an important meeting, his boss Craig (Jason Bateman) informs him that the new hotshot Natalie (Anna Kendrick) has come up with a way to lay people off over the internet essentially making him obsolete. This greatly jeopardizes Bingham’s constant on the move lifestyle and his goal of obtaining ten million frequent flyer miles.

The film is not really about a guy trying to get ten million frequent flyer miles, it’s about the way different types of people interact with each other. Their are about six ‘main’ characters and each approach life and relationships in a very different way. So that’s really what ‘Up in the Air’ is a character study of six people, each trying to be happy and looking in different places.

‘Up in the Air’ is a well crafted character expose. The photography is not flashy but their are a lot of interesting visuals, as well as a brilliant title sequence by Shadow Play Studios (they also did ‘Thank you for Smoking’ and ‘Juno’).

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!
