I don't enjoy slasher movies: They are filled with morons who make dumb decisions and don't fight their attackers. So it is indeed welcome that a movie like this comes along and gives the genre a long hard look with a critiquing eye - followed by a slap in the face. Awesome movie 😃

What can I say? Its got great acting, and it's so deliciously ruthless in it's satire. 

Truly a classic.

I went into this thinking it'll be rubbish (having enjoyed Roald Dahl books when i was a kid) but no: It turns out it was a right laugh. It was genuinely funny, the crime caper angle was great and the stop-animation is incredible. 

In fact I'll go so far to say this a benchmark for adaptations: It stayed true to the source whilst adding new elements. Which goes to show that such a thing is indeed possible

As is often the case with the movies I watch, this has been a long time coming. Still at least I now know what the 'Squirrel!' gag I've heard a lot is....

As for the movie itself I have no idea what powers the Pixar engine but damn it's working wonders. Exciting one minute and heart-breaking the next, Up is indeed a gem 🙂

Oh and Doug. Doug is awesome. Period.
