Up in the Air
Jan 3, 2010
Anyone that knows me knows my love for George Clooney runs deep. I have loved him since he appeared on The Facts of Life back in 1985! But let me set the record straight…I don’t run out and see every movie Mr. Clooney makes. I think the last movie I saw with George was Syriana back in 05. After seeing George Clooney and Jason Reitman’s name in the trailer for this movie I knew I had to see it. I became a Jason Reitman fan after seeing Juno. Plus he comes from good stock. Ivan Reitman (Meatballs, Stripes and Ghostbusters) is his dad.
I love movies that make me think hours, days and even weeks after leaving the theater and Up in the Air is one of them. I saw a little of myself in Ryan Bingham. I am not sure if it the wall he puts up or how vulnerable he became after letting the wall down a little, but I could relate.
George Clooney makes it easy for you to fall in love with his character. Anna Kendrick, who plays Natalie Keener his work associate, was adorable. I couldn't place her while watching the movie but she plays Jessica in the Twilight movies. They were great together on screen.
I laughed, I think I might have cried a little and I left the movie theater thinking about life and “What’s in my backpack”.
Go see this movie before it starts winning awards so you can say you saw it before the hype!
