Its Friday, 1:50 am and I absolutely cannot wait. Just a year ago I was reading the first tid bits about this story, and yeah, I was a little skeptical. Heck, when I first saw the wall e trailer attached to ratatouille, I was like "huh", and that movie became number 1 of all movies in my eyes. But, after faithfully following and spoiling myself (perhaps too much), Im less than 12 hours away from Pixar's latest treasure. I read some of the reviews on rotten tomatoes and one struck me hilarious. It was from Walter Chaw at Film Freak Central, and I must say, this guy must be on Dreamwork's payroll. He did indeed give "UP" 3 out of 4, but after reading his "unknowledgeable" review (he claims that Boo from Monster's Inc is asian, I never saw that), I couldn't help but laugh. Check it out. All in all though, anyone who reads this, I'm sure you'll be in the same aftershock of awe and satisfaction this time Monday. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!
just got back from seeing the movie.
i absolutely loved it! Good job Pixar team!
i'm looking forward for your future movies.
Go see Up at an AMC theatre and receive a free kids pack (popcorn and drink)!
