Married Life - Carl & Ellie by Michael Giacchino



This is a 4 minute clip from Disney's UP. A simple scene with any dialogue, depicting the married life of Carl & Ellie.

I think it is definitely the most meaningful 4 minutes of any movie i have ever watched so far.

It just shows us the ups and downs on a simple married couple and within that 4 minutes, we ride along their emotional highs and lows. We become connected to their story, and the story seems simple and reflective enough of our daily lives.

I've watched this movie at least 3-4 times now and I still love it a lot. The undying love of Carl, to fulfill the dreams of his wife Ellie, is commendable and downright exemplery. How I wish most married couple's lives are like that. Most of the time, we take for granted our partners and disputes arise over the most trivial of matters.

Oh well, i think its enough emo stuff from me today (though I really hope to find some1 and lead a life that is something like what Carl and Ellie has).

Enjoy the clip =)

Best movies of 2009

Well, its 2 weeks into the new year now and I've posted zilch.

Once again I'm sorry if my posts are few and far between. Been having very little since i've started my new job. Waking up early and coming back tired at night needs some getting used to. And worse still waking up to year 2010 and my sister reminding me that I'm 26 this year doesn't help.
My reply to her was: but i only turned 25 less than a month ago!!!

Well this is gonna be a short post from me.

I've watched quite a lot of movies in the past year. But the sad thing is that I dont remember many of them. Which only means 1 thing, the movies didnt make much of an impression on me. Either that or I'm plain forgetful ;-p (which is more like me)

Well I have my top 3 movies of last year. This is from the movies I have watched lar... those i didnt watch may not be here eventhough you may feel its better.

3. The Time Traveller's Wife

Nice movie with your not so typical storyline. Loved the originality and the chemistry of both the leading cast.


2. 500 Days of Summer

A little indie movie that made its rounds in selected cinemas in Malaysia. I was glad to have managed to catch it and I definitely did not regret paying RM10 for it. Well worth my money for a story of falling in love, then falling out of it. Its the true story of love.


1. Up

This is by far my favourite movie this year. From the trailer, i wouldnt have guesed that this could be such a good movie. My thoughts before watching the movie was: How good could a movie be when its about an old man and a floating house??

I was dead wrong. Thank goodness I caught it in the cinema. I even watched it 2 more times on my computer.

I could feel a connection with the old man despite it being an animated film. It really touched my heart, more than any movie I have watched for a very long time.


Well, thats my short post for today. Will be hoping to put up more stuff in the near future

Till then,


Boodyboy, out!!!
