Once in a while, there's that one movie. That movie that adults and children love. Before entering the theater for Up, I was under the impression that this movie shatters minds by relating to kids and adults. Little did I know that I would be ready to cry after the fat kid threw his GPS out the window...and much much more
I didn't know that actually, I would be taken through an excruciatingly painful hour and a half of death, dogs flying off cliffs, birds being maimed, old men shooting at kids with shotguns, childhood dreams smashed, and the execution of a box of kittens (all of them happened except one, I'll let the viewer decide). Halfway through the movie, I was so depressed I needed to hug it out with someone, but the crowd at the mall didn't seem to eager, so I decided to hold it in (you win this time...ladies).
The reason I'm UPset (it's a pun) with this movie is because of how high it was built up. My father told me, "Yeah, (name protected for protection) from work was raving about how great it was!". I happen to respect this man, but now, I don't know what to believe. Maybe he's working for Pixar...
The worst part, was that being the movie guru I am, I knew that Pixar didn't have the stones to make this a sad story, and that eventually everything would work out and everyone would be fine. So when it finally got to the downfall, it took like five minutes and POOF! over...done...while the credits were rolling, it's like I had just blacked out.

On the plus side, there was a cameo by John Ratzenberger (the guy who voiced the Pig from Toy Story, the Underminer from The Incredibles and "Fish School" from Finding Nemo)
I love a good Disney movie as much as the next man, but clearly, I'm not watching Simba climb up Pride Rock or Aladdin setting the Jeanie free or even Max Keeble get back at the bullies.

But I blame myself, it's a good lesson movie goers, expectations can make or break a movie. And usually, it breaks them.
Bust Down the Door or Shut It Down?
Shut It Down (unless you like to cry)
LIGHTS OUT! You're a beast. You'll give The Shark a run for his money (that was a figure of speech because I'm sure Titus is broke). Hit me up for a guest post when you break 1000 hits.
