secondlinaSo, I went up to Ottawa this weekend for my brother's birthday. It was a really brief, but fun visit. My little brother is now internationally legal (21 years old). To celebrate, we went to see Despicable Me. My brother doesn't really watch a lot of animated movies lately due to his friends not liking them much. So we decided it would be fun to do that.
It was a cute movie. It basically had the same idea as "The Incredibles", aka the super-guy with a family, except in this case, it's a supervillain and they are adopted kids, first adopted to conclude a nefarious plot and then truly loved. The movie was really happy and fun, and I enjoyed it.
Gru made a good supervillain. And I really liked the three girls and how their relationship evolved.
Okay, the Bank of Evil director... Does anybody ELSE think he looks like Dilbert's pointy-haired boss? Compare : Bank director. Pointy haired boss.
Something else really bugged me in this movie. The anti-gravity potion. I kept expect them to use it. There's like DOZENS of situations where they can use it. You keep expecting them to use it. They need to fly? Anti-gravity time! Wait, no. The moon is expending and needs to be put back in the sky! Anti-gravity potion to be sprayed on it? Nope. Characters falling to their deaths! ANTI-GRAVITY TIME? NO.
It's like they are just having that around to make us think they are gonna use it. And then think of something original.
Anyways. I'm going to go take the subway to work now. So tired this morning. And it's raining A LOT. Grrr.
