From Jason Reitman, the Oscar nominated director of “Juno,”
comes a comedy called “Up in the Air” starring Oscar winner George
Clooney as Ryan Bingham, a corporate downsizing expert whose
cherished life on the road is threatened just as he is on the cusp
of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles and just after he’s
met the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams.
"Tonight, most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs
and squealing kids.
Their spouses will ask about their day and tonight they will
sleep.
The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding
places.
And one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest,
will be my wingtip passing over."
