What do you get when you put Eomer, Sylar and Kyle Reese on a spaceship?
Star Trek of course :P
I haz two movie reviews!
Up!
Before I get to the wonderful movie that was Up!, I first must review, "Partly Cloudy", which was the short they played right before the movie.
I can't even begin to tell you how adorable it was. It showed storks carrying bundles to families. New babies, kittens, puppies. Then we see them fly back to where they get the babies they deliver. Each Stork has a cloud and each cloud creates a new baby for them to take down to whoever is supposed to get it. We soon meet a Grey cloud, that creates dangerous babies, such as crocodiles, porcupines, rams and sharks. His Stork is pretty beat up, but they clearly have a strong friendship because no matter what the cloud creates the stork is ready for it. Until one day, it becomes too much, the stork sees the other storks delivering cute and cuddly babies and he seems to yearn for that. This makes the cloud upset and he storms *literally*. The stork flies off to one of the other clouds and his cloud begins to cry, then the stork returns and he puts on a helmet and pads, ready for anything.
OMG, it was so cute! SO FREAKING CUTE! I absolutely LOVE how much Pixar can do with little or no dialogue. This is probably my favorite short out of all of the ones I've seen.
Now lets move on to Up!
This is a movie about a boy named Carl, who met his soulmate while on his way home from a movie about his favorite explorer. He heard her playing in her clubhouse and realized she also was a fan of that explorer. Her name was Ellie. The two became fast friends and in the coming years, they got married and soon began talking about family, but sadly Carl and Ellie could not have any kids of their own, but both of them dreamed of going on an adventure, Ellie wanted to live on top of the secret falls in their house, which used to be their clubhouse. The couple grows old together, but soon Ellie dies and Carl is alone. He becomes a bitter old man, who doesn't want to have anything to do with anybody. They are building new buildings all around his little house and they want to get him out of there. One day they nearly knock his mailbox over and he hits a man with his cane. He is then ordered to go live in a retirement home. Before this happened, a little boy named Russell had come knocking on his door asking him if he needed any assistance because he was a junior explorer and he needed his "helping the elderly badge" to become a senior scout. Carl who didn't want to be bothered sent him on a quest to find a Scipe, a fake bird that had been "bothering him". The boy went off on the quest with excitement and Carl thought that would be the last he saw of him.
So when the people from the retirement home came, Carl went back into the house to say his last goodbyes, but it was to escape. The night before he had blown up millions of balloons. He then lifts off and goes towards the Secret Falls to live the rest of his days. What he didn't know was that Russell had been underneath his house and was now on this adventure with him.
The two of them do get to secret falls where they meet, Kevin, the legendary bird that Carl's favorite explorer had been hunting for years and years. They also meet a dog named Dug, who has a special collar that lets him talk.
The four of them run into Carl's favorite explorer and he ends up hunting them, because they had managed to get the bird he had been hunting for years! He sends his talking dogs after them, but Dug was able to help them escape.
At one point, the explorer, tries to burn Carl's house down, which was all he had left of Ellie. He is able to save his house, but he decides to give up. He didn't care about anything but Ellie. Russell ends up going off to save Kevin, who turns out to be a girl bird and gets captured. Carl finds the old scrapbook that Ellie had kept when she was a kid of all her adventures. Whenever he had looked at it after she died, he always stopped at the page that said, "Things I'm going to do" because he always felt that she never got to do the things she wanted to do. On this day, he turned the page and realized they weren't blank like he had first thought. The pages were filled with pictures of him and her together, all the adventures they had as a couple. Getting married, going on picnics, working around the house, then on the last page there was a note from Ellie, thanking him for their adventure and telling him to go on one of his own. That is where he gets the courage to stop the Explorer and save Russell, Kevin and Dug.
He saves them all in the end and is there to pin Russell's "helping the elderly" badge on his sash.
From that point on, him and Russell have more adventures together with Dug.
This movie was so freaking amazing! AMAZING! You were laughing and crying and laughing some more, and then sobbing.
Everyone should see this movie. The beginning has very very little dialogue, but it tells the whole story of Carl and Ellie beautifully! That was probably my favorite part, other then the end with the scrapbook.
I give Up! a 10 on the Dork-o-Meter
Okay for those of you that don't already know, I went on my first official date with Dante on Saturday. We went to the zoo and it was awesome :) Here are pictures!
ZOO PICTURES!
Then we went to dinner and saw The Hangover, here's my review:
First off I must make my dorky comment that only my Supernatural buddies will understand.
Sasha Barrese was in this movie, she played the bride. She also played Casey on Supernatural, in the Season 3 episode, SIN CITY! I thought it was really funny that she was in this and calling Vegas "Sin City" was mentioned a bunch of times. It amused me :)
This movie was hilarious, it was vulgar, but it was tasteful. It's basically about four friends, Stu the dentist, who has an overbearing girlfriend, none of his other friends like, Phil, a schoolteacher, who is a secret party bad boy underneath, Alan, the brother of the bride, who is a little weird and strange and finally, the groom Doug. The four of them head to Vegas for the night and end up getting in some major trouble.
They wake up the next morning, with no memory of what had happened the night before. There is a baby in the closet, Stu is missing a tooth, there is a tiger in the bathroom and Doug is GONE.
Alan, Stu and Phil go on the quest to find Doug and figure out what they did the night before, only to get in some more trouble. They find out that Alan had bought ecstasy off of a drug dealer and had put it in their drinks the night before. Turns out out the ecstasy was actually roofies and that's why they lost their memory.
They eventually find Doug, he was on the roof of the hotel and they get him back to his future wife in time for the wedding.
This was a really really really really really really funny movie. I can't tell you the last movie that had me laughing like I was during this one.
It's really good. GO SEE IT!
I give The Hangover a 10 on the Dork-o-Meter
I had a really fun time with Dante on Saturday and we're gonna go do it again, but maybe not the zoo, that will be different!
Oh! VID REC! Not my usual cause it's not Supernatural, but soooo FUNNY!
Okay, I must be off, gotta go find a Starbucks on Fort Belvoir cause I'm meeting with someone tomorrow, who is hopefully going to tell me when I'm starting at my NEW JOB!! *crosses fingers*
BYESIES!
