Seriously, no "Up"? They said that 10-minute opening of "Up" is a better love story than the whole series of "Twilight", and although it is heard like it is a joke, I am truly agree with it.
ReplyDeleteI knew this would come up. I saw 'Up' in cinemas when it came out. No crowd, big cinema, perfect setting. It didn't do anything for me. The first ten minutes was supposed to make me feel sad, but it didn't. Much of the movie was supposed to make me go 'wow' and laugh, but it just didn't. It's one of those movies that I just don't click with. That's why it's on the honourable mentions, but not on my list. If it were on my list, I'd be lying to myself. That's something I vowed never to do when I started this website :)
