 Pixar animation studios have given us some of the most incredible and stunning films that we’ve all seen and loved over time. Although it does suffer from a non-clever or witty title, Up is nothing short of visually stunning, skillfully rendered film that packs more than few laughs and giggles. The characters make us laugh, cry, and cheer while the film proves itself yet again why Pixar animation has transcended animation films into a new genre where it is so (and I really mean it) much better than many Hollywood films out today. The film is essentially about Carl, a timid and quiet elderly that has recently lost his wife, Ellie. He is also facing expulsion from his home to a retirement home. As all seems to be lost, Carl decides to take “Ellie” (he lovingly calls his wife and his house the same name) on a journey that he has promised the day he fell in love with her. Using his skills as a balloon salesman, he literally “ups” the house into air by using millions of balloons, to reach Paradise Falls. Along the way, a Wilderness Explorers Scout Russell, joins Carl, unwillingly to Carl and himself. And yes you guess again, hilarity and humanity ensue.

 For the fans of Darren Aronofksy, the wrestler may come as a surprise. After all, the director is known for his stunning visual and intricate editing style used in films such as Pi, Requiem for a Dream, and the Fountain. A story of a down-and-out wrestler on his way to redemption? And he’s got Mickey Rourke to play the lead? An actor who’s been out of the major scene for the last ten years? What was Aronofsky thinking? The end result, of course, is so satisfying that I wanted to “ram-jam” someone.

 Quite possibly one of the angriest and hairiest Marvel Characters of all time, Wolverine is also a fan-favorite. His gruffy demeanor and superior physique has made him one of the deadliest weapons as well. The creators of Marvel and 20th Century Fox have made many of the fans’ wishes come true with X-Men Origins : Wolverine. However, it certainly does not live up to its hype.

 The society’s fascination with gangsters transcends race and time. Friend (친구), Mean Streets, Full Metal Yakuza, Sexy Beast, and Goodfellas are some of the titles of this popular genre that most of us are familiar with. Something about the genre captivates every male (and even female) and forces them to sit down and watch the stories of brutal, corrupted, back-stabbing, cursing gangsters. Well, now picture this, a fully tattooed Yakuza carrying… a wooden cross.
