Up

Disney has another hit on their hands with the new Pixar movie UP.

Went to see it with Daniel and Real 3d and it was awesome.
[Spoiler]
From the first trailer you don’t really get a good look at the story line. I have to admit i thought from the get go this movie looked stupid. But as more trailers came on and more clips were shown on the UP facebook site i became more interested in seeing it.
up-review-1

The story begins in the childhood of Carl , whose love of adventure leads him to meet a spunky young girl named Ellie. For the first 20 minutes or so you watch how Carl and Ellie settle into life together, growing in love and growing older. The promised trip to South America, the two had dreamed of exploring the world, much like their idol Charles Muntz, but everyday life kept getting in the way.
Carl and Ellie are now in their 80s and Carl decided it is time to make good on his promise. He buys tickets to go to South America and plans a picnic for him and his darling wife but while going to it Ellie gets sick. [[I loved the way they showed their life and how they were getting older. you could really tell how in love Carl was with Ellie and how deep it ran.]]

With development going on all around him Carl refuse to sell his house for it was His and Ellie’s. Some construction work knocks of the mail box him and Ellie built and Carl gets in trouble with hitting the man over the head with his cane trying to get his mail box back. Carl is now forced to go to a retirement home. The old man’s solution? Being a former balloon salesman, he bundles together several thousand of the helium-filled orbs, straps them to his chimney and lifts the domicile from the rafters and into the great beyond. Carl’s dream is to explore the uncharted regions of South America, much like his idol Muntz.

[[The comic relief here is divided up between Wilderness Explorer scout, Russell -- Who is just a fun loving kid all around, So innocent and so lively. And a talking dog, Doug-- Who is an out cast amount all Muntz other dogs cause of his fun loving nature and kind heart.
I really like the development of relationships in this movie-- between a man and his wife, between man and dog, and between a kid (much like a grandson) and his grandpa (in a way). ]]

This movie is a must see. If you loved all the other Pixar movies you won’t be disappointed with this one. And if you can help it go see it in 3D. They don’t make it all corny 3D-y .. trying to throw things in your face like they would at theme parks. So try it out.

And the short before the movie “Partly Cloudy” was SOOO CUTE!


Eminem Storms out of MTV Awards

June 1, 2009

But even that was upstaged by Baron Cohen, who flew in on a wire, hanging above the audience. Dressed as flamboyant character “Bruno” in a pair of feathery white wings and his rear end mostly exposed, the comedian crashed into an overhead obstacle and was lowered headfirst into the lap of Eminem, his bare hindquarters in the rapper’s face.

“Is the real Slim Shady about to stand up?” chirped Baron Cohen.

Eminem seemed visibly upset by the encounter, and members of his entourage roughly removed Baron Cohen as the rapper struggled to get out. But had the rapper’s self-styled homophobic character been punked by Baron Cohen and MTV, or was he in on the elaborate stunt?

Free of the scene, Eminem stormed out with his entourage in tow – and cameras rolling – and hit the exits.

Baron Cohen’s descent to the audience was included in rehearsals, but Eminem – who performed Sunday night – didn’t take part in that piece of the run-through. As the rapper stormed off, it sounded as though he was wearing a microphone, and cameras were in position to record his fast exit, but he was not seen or heard from again.

Baron Cohen’s publicist, Matthew Labov, had no comment when reached after the show. A spokeswoman for MTV would not confirm whether Eminem was caught by surprise, and representatives for the rapper did not immediately return requests for comment Sunday night.

It wasn’t the first tantrum for Eminem at an MTV ceremony: Sparks flew when the rapper was interviewed by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at 2002′s MTV Video Music Awards.
