The opening sequence of Up was just fantastic. Pure cinema, no dialogue, just perfectly composed visual images that poetically summarized the life most of us will have with its ups and downs. I felt it became a little unfocused in the middle, but like pretty much every Pixar movie in showed an amazing ability to handle complex themes in a manner genuinely accessible to all ages.
I hope you like The Hurt Locker - it's my personal choice for the year, with Basterds a little behind with Moon alongside it. I've always been keen to see Bigelow return, as I hold her in very high esteem despite a few missteps, and I felt she delivered her best film so far and the best of the year when she did.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
