The 50 Best Movies of 2009: Adventureland & Up in the Air on the list Filed under ( Adventureland, Anna Kendrick, George Clooney, Kristen Stewart, Moviefone, Up in the air )

Moviefones' 50 Best Movies of 2009 , Adevntureland and Up in the Air is on the list.

31. 'Adventureland'

Coming of age dramedies are a dime a dozen these days, so it's always a treat to find one that manages to be fresh, funny -- and not entirely clichéd. 'Superbad' director Greg Mottola scores again with this nostalgic trip to the titular park in the summer of '87 starring a lovable Jesse Eisenberg and an uncharacteristically charismatic Kristen Stewart. Plus, the film confirms what most of us have long suspected: Amusement park games are all rigged!

1. 'Up in the Air'


With three feature films now under his belt – 'Thank You for Smoking,' 'Juno' and now this instant classic -- is there any doubt that 32-year-old Jason Reitman is one of Hollywood's best directors? George Clooney somehow makes a corporate downsizer (topical!) lovable and magnetic in a superb lead turn (his best yet), while Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga kill as the distinctly powerful women who change his life. 'Air' is a near-perfect film that is at times bitingly funny, at other times heartrendingly sad -- sort of like life, come to think of it. -- KP

Anna Kendrick Stays Up For The Late Show+ video Filed under ( Anna Kendrick, David Letterman, George Clooney, The Late Show, Up in the air )

 Anna Kendrick went curly last night to make an appearance on The Late Show in NYC. She's switching gears after New Moon, instead joining Dave to chat about her new film with George Clooney, Up in the Air. Dave himself managed to steal headlines by making slightly inappropriate jokes about all the Tiger Woods drama, but Anna managed to stay on task despite her nerves to talk about her project with George. She shared a few anecdotes about the joys and perks of flying with George Clooney.

Anna Kendrick Fueled Fire Between Clooney & Robert Pattinson Filed under ( Anna Kendrick, Ellen DeGeneres, George Clooney, Robert Pattinson, Twilight, Up in the air )

What a tough life for Up in the Air Golden-Globe nominee Anna Kendrick – jetting between film sets with a two-time PEOPLE Sexiest Man Alive winner and with one of the world's favorite vampires.
Shedding light on shooting Up in the Air with George Clooney and Twilight with Robert Pattinson, Kendrick, 24, tells Ellen DeGeneres on the TV's host's Jan. 8 show, "George gave me such a hard time about shooting Twilight. Whenever I came back, it was like, 'Oh sorry, this isn't the Twilight set. You're not working with Mr. Handsome.' He called Rob 'Mr. Handsome.' "

But Kendrick admits she helped egg on the pseudo-competition, bringing back a GQ magazine that she had Pattinson sign, "To George, Best of Luck. Hang in there. Love Rob."
Clooney's response? He signed his Esquire magazine, "Dear Rob, Thanks for all the inspiration. I'm a huge fan. Love, George, two-time 'Sexiest Man Alive.' "
