| Grow old together
After I watched this movie, I found out that the close relationship between Carl and Ellie had touch my feeling. Despite of not having children, Carl and Ellie still stay together. Carl's loyalty is very inspiring. I really hope that my future husband will be as loyal as Carl. HAHA
Another thing that I learned from this movie is the kindness of Russell in helping the elderly. Russell insisted on helping Mr. Fredricksen even though Mr. Fredricksen kept on refusing Russell's help.
I felt excited and amazed by Mr. Fredricksen's determination in bringing his house to Paradise Fall. He tried very hard by tying his house onto thousands of floating balloons, with hope that those balloons can fly his house to Paradise fall. He did it!
Last but not least, I would like comment that this movie is very inspiring, full of exciting adventures and good moral values.

Movie Review : Up
Movie Review : Ice Princess
 |
Michelle Trachtenberg as Casey Carlyle
From the movie Ice Princess, I learned that practice makes perfect. If you really love and passionate about something, you must do it consistently and never give up. That's what Casey had done in this movie. No matter what we want to do, family support is very essential. Casey's mother did not like her do the skating. She took academic as something more important than anything. After she found out that Casey was going to Harvard, she became stricter in academic matter.
Furthermore, we must believe in our dreams and ourselves. Casey was willing to reject the Harvard offer just to fulfill her dreams in skating. In life, some chances demand to be grab.
In a conclusion, we must believe in ourselves and be confident. We don't have to hide our dreams and passion to our parents because they are our closest and greater supporter.

movie review for ice princess
Name : siti hawa noor binti jamuddin . Matric number : 173361
Casey Carlyle, a brilliant high school science student, who hopes to win a Harvard scholarship with a physics project. Her teacher advises her to find an original subject, and she gets a brainstorm. What if she films figure skaters, analyzes their movements on her computer, and comes up with a set of physics equations describing what they do and suggesting how they might improve? Casey has always been a science nerd. She's pretty but doesn't know it, and so shy "I can't talk to anyone I haven't known since kindergarten." She goes to the ice rink in her Connecticut town, run by Tina Harwood, herself an Olympic figure skating contender until a disqualification at Saravejo. Casey's computer program works. She breaks down the moves, analyzes the physics and advises Gen and other skaters on what they can change to improve their performance. Along the way, a funny thing happens. Casey has always enjoyed skating on the pond near her home, and now she grows fascinated by figure skating, and wants to start training.

This is horrifying news for her mom, a feminist and teacher who is pointing Casey toward Harvard and sniffs, "Figure skaters have no shelf life." Starts with a formula and then takes it to the next level. We have two obsessive stage mothers and two driven overachievers, and the girls want to trade places, to the despair of their mom. This leads to more substance than we're expecting, and more acting. They strike out with opinions and surprises of their own.
movie review for up!
Name : siti hawa noor binti jamuddin . Matrik Number : 173361 .
It was a dream shared by her childhood friend-turned-husband Carl, and in one of the most talked-about scenes from "Up," we see a wedding-day to funeral-day montage of a sweet and constant love between two adults who never lose the ability to dream. I don't know what's more poignant,her passing, her wishing him a new adventure rather than a life of mourning, or the fact that she had filled her adventure album with photos from their everyday life. It's touching, too, and reminiscent of "It's a Wonderful Life," that they had bought and fixed up the abandoned house they once used for their pretend adventures as children. "Up" is a mostly upbeat adventure, and a comic one that ought to appeal to the entire family.
When Carl's house is surrounded by construction and he loses his temper after a mailbox he and Ellie painted together is struck by heavy machinery, he reflexively whacks a man over the head with his walker. The next thing you know he's in court, shades of Santa Claus in "Miracle on 31st Street," facing the charge of being a public menace. His sentence: Shady Oaks Retirement Village. But inspired by Ellie's dream of living in a house at the top of Paradise Falls and that change jar they kept throughout their lives for just that purpose, he devises a plan. Oh, the seeds had been planted in earlier montages, when we see the role that a balloon plays in his first finding Ellie, landing in the hospital, and having her communicate with him via balloon. And there's a balloon cart that an adult Carl has to keep pushing back down to earth as he sells them to kids. So why not strap a gazillion balloons to the house and let them pull him away from all of this? The scene where those thousands of real-looking balloons are released and break the house free from its moorings is a triumph of animation.
Casting an old man as the hero in a cartoon adventure is positively inspired, who've been fascinated by old men since their very first short. about an old man who wiles away the time by playing checkers with himself, "Up" has plenty of old-age humor, balanced by whimsy. Thankfully, though, a 78 year old isn't the only source of humor.Disney has done a lot of brilliant things, but conceiving of a logical reason for animals talking, rather than just making them talk, is a regular Einstein move. In South America, when Carl and Russell encounter the aged Muntz, they discover that the explorer has devised a collar with a device that enables dogs to talk.
"Up" is totally deserving of the praise it's received. The concept is fresh and original, the artwork and animation are incredible, the screenplay is packed with humor and adventure,time as a construction foreman. Collectively, their deliveries, their inflections, and their level of emotional engagement couldn't be better, and the animators really managed to capture every nuance of their speech in facial expressions and gestures. It's one of the things, frankly, that sets Disney animation apart from the rest.
