Movie Review: "Up"

UP_4_jpg_610x567
Its wonderful from beginning to end.

I wish I had more to say, but when a movie this good comes along there's really not much more to add.  Pixar is on a roll now with two home runs in a row after WALL-E, with Cars being a definite bump in the road and Ratatouille being a good but not great palate cleanser (IMHO, of course).  Hopefully Toy Story 3 will continue the company's winning streak.

Speaking of Pixar, here's how I'd rank their films from best to worst:  WALL-E, The Incredibles, Up, Toy Story 2, Monster's Inc, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, A Bug's Life, and finally . . . Cars.

Anyway, go see Up.  It's one of Pixar's best yet, which is saying a lot.
