A Weekend Full of Movies

Our NetFlix movie this weekend was "Up". Mr Jones has been wanting to see it because he loves Pixar movies.

I thought the story was really cute and sweet (who doesn't love true love and devotion?), but there were some moments that left me scratching my head in confusion. For example, the explorer was an adult when Carl and Ellie were children yet, he is around the same age as Carl when they meet in Paradise Falls? Maybe I'm too analytical, but yeah...

Overall, I'd give "Up" an A-. I would watch it again...and that's saying a lot because I'm not usually big on watching movies.

This picture makes me laugh...a "real life" Russell!"

Today's movie was an old love of mine - "The Princess Bride". Mr Jones had never seen it before (GASP!) so I decided it was time he did. Luckily, it was available for immediate streaming on NetFlix so we snuggled on the couch and immersed ourselves in the story of Princess Buttercup and Westley.


My favorite exchange in the movie...it's just so sweet:

Westley: I told you I would always come for you. Why didn't you wait for me?
Buttercup: Well... you were dead.
Westley: Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
Buttercup: I will never doubt again.
Westley: There will never be a need.
