Kendrick doesn't bite

 

In the world according to George, Anna Kendrick confided while shooting Up in the Air that her Twilight co-stars didn’t treat her with respect. And then came her star turn in Up in the Air, followed by months in the spotlight and that famous Oscar nominee lunch. Insider much? Oscar-nominee Kristen Stewart or Taylor Lautner? Not yet, at least.  No more mean girls and boys on The Twilight Saga set for this golden girl!

Us Rating: ***

When his business downsizes, an exec (Ben Affleck) gets a wake-up call in this sharp, dark ensemble drama. Affleck’s alpha male struggles with selling his beloved Porsche — the shame! — and resorts to manual labor for his despised builder brother-in-law (Kevin Costner). A variation on last year’s Up in the Air, the timely story dissects the bitter human cost of corporate greed.
