The New Yorker names Anna Kendrick and Kristen Stewart's films in top ten best of 2009

# “Adventureland”: Greg Mottola’s lovely memory of a misspent summer at a tacky Pittsburgh amusement park in the early eighties. Kristen Stewart turns those eyes on Jesse Eisenberg, a toothless non-vampire, as he struggles toward manhood.

“Up in the Air”: The movie’s many ambitions (to be utterly cool and all heart) don’t quite mesh together, and the last third is actually a little boring. But what’s good in Jason Reitman’s adaptation of Walter Kirn’s novel is very good—especially George Clooney and Vera Farmiga as two pros in business and in bed carrying on an affair in blank airport hotels and talking as dirty as Bacall and Bogart in “The Big Sleep.”

Comment by Kaylie on December 8, 2009 at 8:02am: @Gilda: Anna was named the Best Supporting Actress of 2009 by the National Board of Review. It's a really big deal. It's not a typical "awards show" with nominations and a big televised broadcast and stuff, so I dont know if it will be on imdb or not. But the people that the national board of review select are usually the people that win Oscars... or are at least nominated for an Oscar.
