Oh how I love the music in Lost. I had no idea it was the same composer in Star Trek. Makes it all the better
Long Live King Caspian & Queen Liliandil Forever!

He also composed the beautiful music for Up, which he won an Oscar for.
I still need to see Up! Gosh Court!
My cousin has it maybe I can borrow it from him sometime. As of now until July I can't spend any of my money since I'm spending half my summer in Cali.

me too! I'm so ashamed . I haven't seen alot of recent (and not so recent
) movies that I wanted to.
I know im the same way. The only recent movie I watched was Alice In Wonderland and that was it.
It's weird because movies are supposed to be my life!

Haha, well movies are my fourth love/life . First being God and family/friends, second music, third books, and fourth movies. But yeah, if I could I would watch more but my parents have to ok everything and sometimes they'll not let me watch it just b/c they don't like the story, not b/c of anything bad in it
.
But anyway, I hope to see Up!, Avatar, and Alice in Wonderland soon .
Up is amazing. I know a lot of people who don't like it, but I think it is absolutely wonderful, and is probably my favorite Pixar movie. I believe it was the best reviewed movie of 2009, and for good reason. The story is so touching, and the musical score is fantastic. I'm a 21 year old guy, and I was almost in tears after the first 5 minutes. Not many movies can elicit that kind of emotion out of me (I think the last time I cried in a movie was at the beginning of The Fox and the Hound when I was like 8), so when they do, that's something to remember.
I loved the first 20mins of Up but found the rest rather more middle of the road in terms of quality. He also composed the music for the brilliant Pixar movie - The Incredibles. As for his music for LOST, yes, it is phenomenal!
Currently watching:
Doctor Who - Season 11
I don't know why but I can never fully watch The Incredibles. There is something about it that tires me and same thing for Cars. I don't know why. I love every other Pixar movie but those two. But I now need to see Up. I think I'll like it.
Long Live King Caspian & Queen Liliandil Forever!

Up is one of my all-time favourites, really very moving. I know how you feel about Cars DamselJP, something about it seems lacking to me. But I quite enjoyed The Incredibles, but then I am a sucker for Superhero flicks .

I didn't like Cars at all. The characters weren't likeable (to me) and I thought they had too much borderline crude humor. I didn't like that movie at all. I do enjoy The Incredibles though. That's a great movie- our family used to be addicted to it, and when had three kids, we each picked a character and got different things with that character . My dad still has his Mr Incredible tshirt and pez dispenser
. Alot of people call him that actually, and it's his IM picture

crude humor? really? I don't know Pixar for that, Dreamworks yes but not Pixar.
I've never noticed anything of the sort in it. I love Cars, in fact I love all Pixar movies, except Up which I do like just not nearly as much.

As a G-rated movie, Cars definitely doesn't include glaring sexual content. But alert adults will notice some double entendres and suggestive allusions. Mater says jokingly of Sally, "She just likes me for my body." Sally offers Lightning one of her rooms at the Cozy Cone, but makes it clear she's not inviting him to spend the night with her. Finally, when Lightning's romance with Sally warms up, Mater sings (twice), "McQueen and Sally parking next to a tree, K-I-S-S-" and then forgets the rest of the song. A bumper sticker on one of the cars reads, "Nice Butte."
Characters exclaim "oh, lord!" and "holy shoot." Lightning blurts out "holy Porsche" as he watches Sally drive. A play on Jesus' name happens in a short scene after the final credits when a car says, "For the love of Chrysler!" Mater's fond of saying "dadgum" and "golldurn." When Lightning mentions a character who's won the Piston Cup, the tow truck asks, "He did what in his cup?" Lightning laments, "I'm in hillbilly h---," a phrase Sally later repeats. Lightning's selfish behavior several times prompts others to say things such as "you idiot," "you fool" and "you moron."
It's implied that Filmore, a 1960 VW bus, has done drugs. Watching the town's stoplight change, Filmore tells Sarge, "I'm tellin' ya' man, every third blink is slower." Sarge replies, "The '60s weren't good for you, were they?" Filmore also sells special "organic" fuel. And when Lightning blows into town, the microbus asks, "I'm not the only one seeing this, right?" voicing a fear that perhaps he's hallucinating.
After Lightning brags that he doesn't need headlights because the track is "always lit," another character says, "So is my brother." A number of empty cans can be seen next to tailgating cars at one of the races.
Convincing Lightning to join in the "fun" by calling him a "baby" and a "chicken," Mater goes "tractor tipping," which is similar to cow tipping. ("Tractors is so dumb," Mater drawls.) Lightning's attempt to play the game tips over all the tractors. It's played off as a harmless joke, and no one gets seriously injured. Nevertheless, the pair's actions still constitute vandalism. Oddly, the tractors make a sound like passing gas after they tip over—as does Sheriff's backfiring engine. And speaking of gas, Flo jokes, "I have gas ... lots of gas." A character asks, "Did I forget to wipe my mudflaps?"
After being arrested by Sherriff, Lightning tries to make a break for it. Lightning also plays a reckless, high-speed game racing a train to a crossing. Noticing a decorative decal on her trunk, Lightning says to Sally, "Hey, do I spot a little pinstripe tattoo back there?" When Lightning visits Doc at his garage, Sheriff is up on a raised jack having some work done and comments, "Hope you enjoyed the show." There are two wink-wink references made to lug nuts.
so even though they're cars, it's still innapropiate, especially since it's a G-rated movie that's supposed to be for families.
I don't much like Cars either. there's just so much rude humor and it's boring! (just a personal opinion)
I didn't like Up either. granted, some parts were funny, but the beggining was so sad and the middle funny and the end a bit disturbing so to me it was too much seemingly random emotion that it wasn't enjoyable for me to watch.
(again, just personal opinion)

I'm definitely not a fan of plugged-in reviews, making things look worse than they really are. But I give them these, these are a bit extreme- except that first, I never noticed it and I don't think many are looking at the bumper sticker. Otherwise the others aren't really that bad for me, I do respect you for your judgment on it though.
When Sally makes it clear she's not inviting Lightning to her place. Isn't that a good thing? Kids are exposed to a lot of things these days, making them more alert to offensive things. Therefore her saying that makes it quite clear that nothing will happen, she's not *that* type of lady.
