The Peak of Clooney's Career

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2009)

There is something about George Clooney that it's charming that even in the most boring roles he can captivate the audience like nobody else. Definitely the movie Up in The Air is not an epic saga from our times but it's a simple charming movie that can make a date something fun and enjoyable because it's a movie made for couples that so far is on the buzz for Oscar Nominations because of the incredible acting (maybe the Academy is going on roles that are more realistic and less glamorous Sandra Bullock is also on the spotlight for an Oscar Nomination for her movie The Blind Side) Many critics as it was said previously are predicting Oscar Noms for George Clooney and they are speculating that new comer Anna Kendric is slowly but steady positioning herself in the A-list of Hollywood because her roles in successful movies like Up in the Air and the Twilight franchise.
In the movie George Clooney plays a transition specialist whose jobs it's to fire people for corporation executives who don't have the nerves to fire people themselves; after acting like the servant to many executives Ryan Bingham starts to feel some happiness doing that but as soon he finds that the company he works for hired a new person to play on Ryan's role without even leave her office Ryan starts to feel anguished that his days on the company are counted. Critics are calling this movie the peak of Clooney's career and maybe they are right because at his age and success it's hard to see George on other types of roles specially after many years being typecast as the Romantic Comedy Lead (I guess he suffered the Meg Ryan Syndrome) it's going to be difficult to see him on action or horror roles, but he always can go on the director seat and do something amazing because he has consolidated his name to be a money making machine worldwide. Maybe it's true that George has moved on since his Fact of Life days to become an household name.
