Up

I was robbed. I went to see a perfectly entertaining film about a grumpy old man that left a boy scout huddling on the porch of his house while said house was drifting along at 6,000 feet. Now that’s a film I can get into. Especially if he banks carefully and cackles as the kid goes spinning off into space.

Instead I got to see a perfectly entertaining film about a justifiably grumpy old man who realizes the error of his ways and becomes the surrogate father to the afore-mentioned boy scout. Aw hell. Can I get my ten bucks back?

Very pretty. Entertaining. Probably worth multiple viewings particularly if the 3D works on your HD TV. But dammit…I want my grumpy old man back.

I think I’d rather watch Gran Torino again.
