The Oscar race is officially on with Friday's unlock of the new George Clooney comedy, Up within the Air — however most likely now not with Brothers.
A movie movie fanatics will have to skip this weekend? The Tobey Maguire–Natalie Portman drama Brothers, which Adams says is a total bust. Maguire stars as an soldier who goes to Afghanistan simply as his brother Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal) gets paroled. Soon, his wife Grace (Natalie Portman) will get the inside track her hubby was shot dead, and takes comfort in Tommy's presence. The flick's a bust, due to Portman's miscasting and Maguire's overacting.
An splendid bittersweet story about life all through recession, Up within the Air used to be touted as an Academy Awards front-runner by the National Board of Review Thursday. Us' film critic Thelma Adams also sings the film's praises, calling Clooney a "shoo-in" for a perfect actor Oscar nod. Costarring Vera Farmiga as a widespread flier who hooks up with the main man, Up within the Air earns a really perfect 4 stars from Us' Adams.
If you're looking to get into the holiday spirit early, skip the Christmas shopping strains on the mall and keep in for Carrie Underwood's All-Star Holiday Special, airing Dec. 7 on Fox. Christina Applegate, David Cook and even Dolly Parton sign up for the country queen for a two-hour treat that includes skits and musical performances.
