Up (2009)

 


Director: Pete Docter

Producer: Jonas Rivera

Cast: Edward Asner (Carl Fredricksen), Jordan Nagai (Russell), Christopher Plummer (Charles F. Muntz), Bob Peterson (Dug the Dog)

Highly recommended. 

A young Carl watches a 40’s documentary about the famed explorer Charles F. Muntz, who has just entered the Venezuelan wilderness. Later, playing with his balloon, he hears noises from an old, abandoned house, and realizes it is a girl, who introduces herself as Ellie. Her dream, to get to the Venezuelan wilderness and keep her home there. As adults, they get married and adjust the house to look like the one in Ellie’s drawing. The two decide to have a baby and they build a nursery, but Ellie suffers a miscarriage and is unable to have babies. Years later, Ellie passes away. Couple of years later, Carl attaches thousands of balloons at this house, floating up in the sky, to pursue his and Ellie’s dream of living in the Venezuelan wilderness, and to get away from the builders who were building skyscrapers around his house. A cheeky little Wilderness Explorer (Boy Scout sort of) named Russell hitches on. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

I really liked the movie. When I was little, I watched the movie and barely [SB1] understood it. Now, having reviewed movies [SB2] for a little over a year, I understood the movie. I found the start to be rather cute, with a young Carl Fredricksen being a shy boy and Ellie was his first true friend. The title sequence known as ‘Married Life’, was just amazing. This movie is also very funny! For [SB3] example, Muntz’s army of dog cronies hating squirrels and trying to drive away any who come to him. I am still trying to find out where did the squirrel go? No flaws at all.

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

1.       The story is amazing.

2.       The Married Life montage is super.

3.       The animation is spot on.

4.       The characters are cute.

5.       Overall, THIS MOVIE IS SUPER!

Ole Ale (2024) Director: Vipul Mehta Producer: Rashmin Majithia Cast: Nana Patekar ( Omkar ‘Ole’ Lele), Siddarth Chandekar (Aditya ‘Aale’ Lele), Sayali Sanjeev (Kyra Hirve), Makarand Anaspure (Baburao). Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
