UP IN THE AIR never really soars: review

George Clooney is just one of those guys you can depend on: call it predictable, call it a lack of versatility, but Clooney nails that old-fashioned / modern / classy triumvirate in every single film he’s in. If that’s a style you buy into, he has a nice long filmography for you to browse to your heart’s content, to which you can blindly add his latest outing. If, however, you got sick of...

Keeping the 2010 Golden Globes in perspective

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that James Cameron and his 3D epic fantasy adventure film Avatar (or, as Arnold Schwarzenegger pronounced it, ‘Avada’) won some big ones at the Golden Globes this year.

Reasons not to be afraid of Ivan Reitman directing GHOSTBUSTERS 3

Recent news that director Ivan Reitman will be slipping into the director’s chair again for the upcoming franchise-extending sequel Ghostbusters 3 perked my interest a great deal.

At least JENIFFER’S BODY is sexy

Jennifer’s Body answers a curious question: Can a film survive on the back of the attractiveness of its two female leads? The answer is no.

There’s no denying Fox’s body is a draw-card here, and I bet the...

UP IN THE AIR & INVICTUS get awards season head-start from NBR

The National Board of Review has given Up In The Air a good head-start to the upcoming awards season, honouring it as Best Picture of 2009 and awarding its star George Clooney Best Actor (sharing with Morgan Freeman in Clint Eastwood’s Invictus… even despite his questionable accent). Up In The Air is director Jason Reitman’s third film (following Thank You For Smoking and Juno), and has been...

UP IN THE AIR new trailer to keep you high

Who would have thought that dude from ER would be the Frank Sinatra of our generation? (Without the singing). George Clooney is box office gold at the moment. One of his new films, Up In The Air, directed by Jason Reitman (Juno, Thank You For Smoking) has been making a big splash online after it played at the Toronto International Film Festival this year. There’s even thought it could make a play at the...
