Up VS Wall-e movie review

First and foremost of course... update on Imagine a world. Yes, I am currently working on it. I am able to get 7 stories done so far and probably after I got off the plane... Oh wait, did I say plane? Yeah, I'm gonna back to China on Monday. Before you go "Whoaa", I'll give ya a little more details later.

Pixar... What can I say, not only are they the BEST animated film producer. They just produces classics after classics! While everybody have their personal opinions on which of their films are the best, most people agree, almost all of them are awesome! I personally think the latest two films by pixar are THE best of the best. They are definitely now my two most favourite movies of all time!

Before I go on bickering which one is better, I'd like to say, both of them are AMAZING. AMAZING animation, AMAZING storyline, just absolutely AMAZING. While these films may be entertaining for kids. They send adults through rollercoster rides of cries and laughter.

Wall-e so far is THE ONLY movie, tv show and anything media related that made me have a few tears beside my eyes. I wont go in to much details about Wall-E, alot of you probably already watched it(and hopefully enjoyed it as much as me ) and if you didn't, all you need to know is that this movie is beautiful.

Just watched UP in theaters for the second time yesterday, was planning to watch it the third time on Tuesday, but if I will be in China at that time, I guess it foiled it.

So how good is it? Well, let me tell you, it made half of the theatre cry the first 10 minutes of the film!


While the storyline itself isn't anything stunning(well compared to Wall-e), the way it was presented as well as the moral story behind it made this movie another Pixar classic. To add to the fun, this film is very funny! Defintely one of the funniest movie I've seen, adding this to an already charming film is just a bonus.

while I am not overwhelmed with emotions 10 minutes in, the scene that almost did it for me was near the climax, but if only their where some slight changes to the presentation (make it a bit slower and adding the soft theme music in the background). I think I will definitely be in tears.

This is a really tough decision for me, but I really have to give the winner to Wall-e. While Up is easily the most humorous of the two. Wall-e just slightly edges off Up in the department of animation, storyline and emotion. While Up brought me close to tears. Wall-E is the one that actually did.

I will probably set up a rating system for movies later on, but I feel that I already talked a little bit too much.

And yes, I will most likely be on the other half of planet earth in 3 days. All thanks to the cheap plane ticket offered for that particular day(we are Asian, what more can I say?). Was orignally going sometime in mid July, but oh well, this is much better ;)

Thats all for now, but remember to follow me on this blog while I have my own adventures in China.(Remember, adventure is out there!-Up)

The start of a new era

As we take the final jog of grade ten back from school on Friday, it meant the end of yet another school year for all of us. However, this jog, walk or maybe hobble of mine(with a sprained ankle) meant something extra; It meant an end to an era, and a start of a new one.

The last four years was fun indeed, from booing a teacher in front of the whole school and being one of the most unpopular kid in class, to the person I grew up to be today . From the optimistic kid who sat at the end of the table thinking things will eventually become better, to the optimistic kid who believes that he will be able to take on a big challenge. Terry overcame countless mental obstacles, taking them on with the typical Terry attitude, a positive one. This however will never be enough; What I lacked these four years are the extra juice, the extra effort and the extra mind-frame that will allow someone to achieve something special. from the get go of high school, I knew this time will need to come eventually. The time to digest that juice is now.

Looking ahead, to this summer, to grade eleven, to university, there are big challenges after big challenges. From the task of writing and selling a book, to the task of taking over the spot of top in the academic standing. From the typical stress of university/scholarship application to the typical stress of living-one-my-own university life itself. I will be venturing into territories I've never ventured before.

Will I be able to handle the stress? Will I really be able to put full effort on things after slacking off for four years? Will I really have the will power to stay consistent the whole time? Will I really be able to deliver my full potential?

These are the questions I have to answer throughout the next several years. Questions that I have the confidence that I will answer with authority.

Despite what looms ahead of me, I am looking forward to the challenges, looking forward to the stress and looking forward to the start of this new era.Taking on with me the belief a busy life is far more interesting than a non-eventful one. I will tackle whatever life throws at me for the next few years with full effort, full energy. The transformation from the king of procrastination to the king of academics will be painful but well worth it.

As the old cliche goes, an expression being used oh so often.

Bring it on.
