    In any event, this IS that last thing I thought I would see today!

    Bizarre!

    PO Rating (9 of 10)

    UP represents Disney / Pixar’s  10th film, and also the first film in digital 3D.  Following a somewhat familiar formula, Pixar engages the characters and gets you emotionally involved with their story, then send them on a zany adventure, that ends up with some moral or message to tie the whole thing together.

    This movie is FUNNY, especially the dogs(Which provide the tag-line above the picture) and Kevin, the giant bird! Voice work by  Ed Asner, Christopher Plummer, and of course Pixar movie staple John Ratzenberger is seamless.  Characters are believable, and real feeling.  The treatment is a retro 40′s / 50′s feel.

    The rough plot is childhood sweethearts grow up and plan for big adventure, but it is cut short. (Cue tears here!) Fast forward nearly a lifetime, and we find an old man Charles Frederickson in a nail house shut in and anti-social. As the world grows up around him, he is stuck in his old ways.  The large corporations close in on his home, and being forced into a retirement home, Charles finds a way to escape.

    Determined to fufill his childhood dream of adventure he sets off to South America, accidently bringing Wilderness Explorer Russell with him.  They meet a wide array of animals, some good, some not so good

    Run time is around 1:36, but figure closer to 2 hours with the previews.

    Digital 3d previews leaned towards vertigo, and worried me about the actual film.  Pixar really knows how to do a movie, and my fears were soon at rest.  The 3D in this film is present, but subtile, never jumping out at your face, rather used for depth and texture.  Characters run around and the background parallax is wonderful.  I found myself not noticing the 3D, but being enveloped by it.  If you can, I highly recommend catching UP in 3D!

  • Mr Nobody Trailer
    • ]]>     I stumbled across this the other day. Never heard about it before, but I’m pretty excited to see it. Hell Tim Burton’s involved so it will probably be pretty cool:

    Student Academy Award winner Shane Acker directs the animated fantasy epic 9, a feature-length expansion of his short film of the same name. Produced by Tim Burton, Timur Bekmambetov, and Jim Lemley, the surreal tale takes place in a world parallel to our own, a post-apocalyptic fantasy in which a band of courageous rag dolls battles for the survival of civilization.

  • Even Michael Bay gets it
    • ]]>     Lots of big comedy names in this one.  Jack Black, Paul Rudd, David Cross and one of my new favorites, Michael Cera. If you haven’t seen him in SuperBad you’re really missing out.

She’s nothing like the original comic character. I prefer the White Queen days better. Having said that, I’ll probably still go see it. I’m a sucker for Wolverine.
