Here's a movie that is a 2009 "must-see".
Pixar's "UP" has everything, charm, adventure, laughs, insight, truth and an appeal to all ages. Scratch that. "UP" does seem to be missing curse words and sex scenes and still it entertains.
Check out who this movie's protagonist is based on in terms of resemblence. Hint-he's a famous journalist and "UP's" elderly adventurer looks exactly like him.

We've got some serious thoughts on the fine, fine Watson fellow who killed his bride on their honeymoon, all in front of many witnesses! Guy got manslaughter, maybe he'll serve a year.
Plus the coming tax on health care benefits, selling books in beauty shops and Sonia Sotomayor, what she REALLY needs if she's going to get nominated. It will surprise you.
And speaking of getting away with crime, how about those Black Panthers being let loose for voter intimidation that would have any white person thrown in jail toot de sweet?

A quick catch-up on Jillian of "Bachelorette" fame. As of this writing she's got 16 guys still vying for her, we all should be so lucky.
The show is building the drama in that there's one fellow all the contenders love to hate and throw in a weirdo or two.
Does Jillian appear to be honing in on any one of her handsome choices yet?

Amazing animation these days -- when they go off a cliff, you get that OH NO! sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach.
I have not seen it, but plan to based on friends and family who have.
I’m gonna see this movie on Friday... I’m looking forward to it!!
see it in IMAX 3D !!
trust me it is worth it!
I just can’t get over the fact that that damn commuist ed asner is the voice of Mr. Fredericksen. It’s like hollywood can’t make a movie without trying to get some liberal politics somehow involved.
the old man looks like Spencer Tracy....and acts like him when he was an older man.....
Great flick, much more story line than your usual animated feature, but keep in mind, it has some very touching moments, there wasn’t a dry eye in the theater....
Very cute movie — it actually brought me to tears.
YES! That's who he reminded me of! I saw it last weekend and it's bugged me all week as to who he reminded me of...and it's an older Spencer Tracy. Thank you. Now I can sleep at night ;-)
Me too... When I saw the commercials, I thought the old guy would be a jerk, but when you see his "life story" in the movie, it turns out he's great!
I teared up to. The first 1/3 of the movie was a real tear jerker... course my wife and kids tell me that I’m weak.
“Squirrel!”
Don’t let Ed Asner’s presence stop you from seeing it. I’ve seen it twice, and enjoyed it more the second time.
“Squirrel!”
My spouse and I have interjecting this one word into our lives all week! Excellent movie.
Actually, I teared up at the end when he goes back to the adventure book and reads her last note and then the kid and the old man get to fill the voids of each other — so sweet!
Yeah... me too
