You know how much we enjoy a good movie and when times are tough you can't beat a good comedy. So, off I went to buy some cheer in the form of "The Hangover". It received such good reviews, some boffin even suggested it should have been in the Oscar top ten movies (clearly tongue in cheek). R149 later I can only say what a load of cr (sorry, I can't say that). The funny parts were all in the trailer and the rest was crass. Ho hum.
Next up, Paul Blart, Mall Cop. Seen "the making of" etc so I set the PVR to record and it actually got the whole movie. Well, it was better than The Hangover, a bit slow to begin but it gathered pace. For me the star of the movie was the Indian boyfriend (Eastern, not Native American) and all in all it was better than watching rugby.
Finally, I threw caution to the wind, grabbed the last of my savings and bought "UP".
Now that was money well spent. Firstly I retract my remark that it shouldn't have won the best soundtrack award, the music was a character in its self, painting such a lovely picture. Secondly, that was such a gosh darn good movie that I forgave myself for the first two mistakes and will certainly be enjoying "UP" more than a few times in the future.
Little wonder it was brought to us by a Stanton.
Oh sweet child of mine...

I am one of those sad people who actually enjoyed The Hangover! It is definately not award material though! Will take a look at 'Up'. xxx
I loved up although that first bit had me blubbing ( what doesnt these days ) the music was so lovely. BUT I absolutely loved the hangover thought it was hilarious. and that is why I dont move movie critics because we are all so different. I love will ferrel in anchor man and I told my mum to watch it. she just CANNOT understand how I would love it..hehehe thats what makes the world go round
Don't worry Caroline, when Timothy heard that we didn't enjoy The Hangover, he asked for the DVD because he also loves it. It must be a generation thing Wendy, I really don't enjoy Will Farrel
Hi Dragonfly - Hope by now you have watched "UP". I got the DVD for my birthday and loved it. Also have fun laughing on many occasions during the playing. Being of artistic nature I cannot but be amazed at the animators, I love all the animated movies that have come out. Hate to miss one. How clever are the artists and also the way the characters look like those actors who do the voices. I have lent my copy to Caroline and hope she also will enjoy it as much as I did.
