Jason Reitman, Sheldon Turner, and author Walter Kirn won  USC&#8217;s 2010 Scripter Award for the socially conscious comedy drama Up in the Air this past Saturday. The Scripter Award goes both to the screenwriter(s) of an adapted screenplay from a literary work and to the author of the source material.
Directed by Reitman, and starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, and Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air tells the story of a corporate-downsizing expert who spends most of his time either at airports or among the clouds. Competing against Up in the Air were Crazy Heart, District 9, An Education, and Precious. The last two Scripter Award winners, Slumdog Millionaire (2009) and No Country for Old Men (2008), went on to [...]]]></description>

In the London Times, screenwriter Eric Roth discusses &#34;The curious case of the making of Benjamin Button&#34; with Kevin Maher:
&#34;&#8217;In 1922 F.Scott Fitzgerald had a baby girl,&#8217; continues the 63-year-old  Oscar-winner Roth (Forrest Gump). &#8216;And when she was three months old he  wrote a short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.&#8217; The tale, about a  man who was born at 70 and slowly aged backwards towards infancy, reflected  Fitzgerald&#8217;s newly altered views on mortality, Roth says, adding: &#8216;But it  was very broad and whimsical.&#8217; However, the basic idea would eventually  evolve into the story of an 86-year-old man, Benjamin ([Brad] Pitt), who is born as  a wizened homunculus [...]]]></description>

MUNICH Review: Part I
On the positive side, for the first time since Bruce feasted along the New England coast Spielberg has made a film in which the strings are only sporadically visible. The fact that he had to rush through production in order to have Munich ready by year&#8217;s end &#8212; this is reportedly the first film he has directed without relying on storyboards &#8212; helped to give this philosophical actioner an edge it might otherwise have lacked. The film&#8217;s technical aspects are generally first-rate, while John Williams provides what could well be both the most understated and the most effective score of his career. 
And since the film in question is a thriller, Spielberg and editor Michael Kahn keep [...]]]></description>

Direction: Steven Spielberg
Screenplay: Tony Kushner and Eric Roth; from George Jonas&#8217; book Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team
Cast: Eric Bana, Geoffrey Rush, Daniel Craig, Mathieu Kassovitz, Ciaran Hinds, Hanns Zischler, Ayelet Zurer, Michel Lonsdale, Gila Almagor, Mathieu Amalric, Moritz Bleibtreu, Marie-Josée Croze, Lynn Cohen, Omar Metwally, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi

Eric Bana, Daniel Craig, Ciaran Hinds, Hanns Zischler, Mathieu Kassovitz in Munich
&#160;

Alternately intriguing and irritating, thought-provoking and banal, subtle and patronizing, the biggest surprise about Steven Spielberg&#8217;s Munich is that it &#8212; however grudgingly &#8212; works. The film, which Spielberg himself has referred to as &#34;prayer for peace,&#34; follows five men contracted by Israel to avenge the massacre of that country&#8217;s athletes during the 1972 Olympic Games in [...]]]></description>

Cast: Al Pacino, Russell Crowe, Christopher Plummer, Diane Venora, Philip Baker Hall, Lindsay Crouse, Colm Feore, Michael Gambon, Rip Torn

&#160;
&#34;It&#8217;s old news. &#8230; We&#8217;ll be ok,&#34; says Don Hewitt (Philip Baker Hall), the creator of the CBS newsmagazine 60 Minutes. &#34;These things have a half-life of 15 minutes.&#34; 
&#34;No, that&#8217;s fame,&#34; replies 60 Minutes anchor Mike Wallace (Christopher Plummer). &#34;Fame has a 15-minute half-life. Infamy lasts a little longer.&#34; 
The infamous &#34;things&#34; referred to by Hewitt and Wallace are the scandals that erupted in early 1996, when it was revealed that CBS News had refused to air an interview [...]]]></description>
