Interview: Director Jason Reitman Talks ‘The Front Runner’ and Receives Award at SLIFF

It brings back this kind of flood of memories from shooting Up in the Air,” says director Jason Reitman as we sit inside The Cheshire – one of the filming locations of his aforementioned 2009 film. Reitman returned to St. Louis earlier this month for the 27th Annual Whitaker […]

31: ‘Labor Day’ Starring Josh Brolin, Kate Winslet, Peach Pie
This week Hollywood ushers in the month of February with Labor Day. We don’t get it either (other than the chick-flick counter-programing to Super Bowl Weekend). Written and directed by Jason Reitman (Juno, Up in the Air) one would think they’d be in for a treat. One would be wrong. The results left all of […]
Movie Review: ‘Labor Day’ Starring Josh Brolin, Kate Winslet, Gattlin Griffith

From films to take the whole family to films intended for more mature audiences (and everything in between), I break down what films I […]
Jason Reitman Options “Elliot Allagash”, a Novel by Simon Rich
Jason Reitman is a bit of a Hollywood golden boy these days with solid performers like Thank You For Smoking, Juno, and Up in the Air. All three of his film have easily out grossed their budgets, which currently makes him a hot commodity. So, one has to sit up and notice when he picks […]
