I have reviewed the movie "The Prestige" here. I archived it because of the VERY disturbing nature of this film. If you're interested, please read. But please do realize that this is a very dark, disturbing, thought provoking movie.

Up!
Last weekend, my mom, sister, her fiance, and I attended the opening weekend of Pixar's new movie "Up". I know I said I wasn't going to give an opinion, but I think I might be justified in saying, "What a great movie!"
Without giving the story away (I think that's one of the best thing's Pixar does: keep the story closely under wraps until it's opened) it's about an older man and a young man (boy) who are raised (literally!) together.
But it's about so much more than that. It's about learning to let go of those you love. It's about learning to deal with the hurt that's around you. It's about learning to let go of the idols you've raised. It's about learning to care for what's really important. It's about learning to understand dogs. It's about learning.
And it's all done with Pixar wonderful storytelling abilities. This is a true story in the sense that they makers haven't just thrown together something that will please an audience and make them go out and buy the newest merchandise. But this is a true story in that you learn to care about the characters (cartoons though they may be).
We watched the film in 3D which was supremely fun. It's the first 3D film I've seen and I really enjoyed it. We're trying to go back and see it with my dad (he was sick the day we went).
Again, I know I said I wasn't going to recommend any movies, but this one might just be a "must see".
Pros
~learning to work with those you might not be drawn to at first
~learning to decide what's important and act on it
~learning to care for those around you more than yourself
~learning so much more than can even be written down here
Cons
~the villian, but then again, he's not supposed to be good and he is dealt with in an appropriate manner
~the little boy's parents are divorced, but this is handled in a gentle way while still showing the harmful effects of divorce on children.
~the story somewhat is focused on saving a bird that has been thought to be extinct and therefore has a slight "save the animals" flavor
Language
None
Immorality
None
Rating
PG for some peril and action
I hope this gives you a little insight into this movie! Let me know what you think!
