Up

So I saw Up the other day and damn, it's a good film.

Up is another one of Disney & Pixar's masterpieces, the saddest film I have ever seen but a real heartwarming story all the same.

The tale follows an old man, he promised his wife when they were children he would take her to South American. Life happens and they never get there, his wife dies. Instead of letting his house and all his memories of the life he had be destroyed by the corporate suits who wish to build apartment buildings, etc he ties a brazzilion balloons to his house with the plan of floating down to South America to live out his days and fulfil his promise to his dead wife.

His plan however, doesn't work out exactly how he envisioned it.

Packed with laughs and tears, Up is brilliant - go watch it!

P.s. It's also available to watch is standard 2D or with 3D goggles.

Up coming reviews

1) TROPIC THUNDER!



I can't wait to see this film! Looks like its going to be one of the best comedies of the year. potentially funny, good cast of actors (Ben Stiller, Steve Coogan...) unfortunatly it has Jack Black in it who, in my opinion is a total prick. However it has - from what i've seen - an original, funny plot and looks like a great film to see in cinema with a bunch of friends and a few beers consumed before hand (which i intend to do with a couple of close buddies)

2)Babylon A.D



First thing i though when i saw the trailer (waiting for The Dark Knight to begin):

'Oh no, requiem for a dream is the theme song' which has to be one of the most over used pieces of classical music. Although it's over used - it's still a brilliant song, which is reflected in this movie (trailer at least)

I'm not a big fan of Vin but he's a good actor and my feelings towards him are unjustified. I hope this film changes my mind for good.

The looks action packed though, some lovely explosions (not just the gas fireballs you see in most movies) we see some lovely shrapnel and debris in the shockwave: which, looks brilliant!

definatly more of a guys film with some well filmed and choreographed fight scenes.

I recon this film will have you hanging on the edge of your seat with excitment and having choreographed fights with your buddies after, or as i like to call it: Jet Li Syndrom.

Like Tropic Thunder this is a definate Cinema movie, go with friends (if you have any) and do somthing manly before hand: take a few shots of whiskey, maybe set fire to somthing.
