Great movie, this calls Oscar

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2010)

Up In The Air is a funny and heartwarming tale of a man who's constantly traveling. That man is Ryan Bingham (George Clooney, in his most Oscar-Worthy performance since Michael Clayton). While traveling, he meets and falls for an attractive woman named Alex Goran (Vera Farmiga). Before I go on, I will mention to you every performance is excellent in it. I did this so I could clear that without having to type a lot more than I need to. Ryan's boss, Craig (Jason Bateman) assigns him with an assistant named Natalie (Anna Kendrick). Now I want to mention that Anna Kendrick is more cute and fun in it than she is incredible. This is not a bad thing, just that she has her own special kind of performance. The film is directed by Ivan Reitman, who surprised me with his two other surprisingly great films Thank You For Smoking and Juno. But this is by far the greatest film so far by Ivan Reitman, though. Ivan's dad is fellow director Jason Reitman, another great director. I sure hope Ivan will follow in his dad's footsteps, so I can see more great movies by him. This film screams Oscar, and I definitely recommend you see this film right away.
