The Cove

i just saw the most horrifying and saddest movie i’ve ever seen. it was heart-breaking to see the destiny for these intelligent creatures and yet heart-warming to see the passion these people in the movie have to make this a better world.

i can’t explain to you what i brought with me leaving the cinema. you have to see it for yourself. please go and see it. and spread the word.

Up! …again

tonight i’ll be watching up! for the second time. this time i’m bringing astrid, carissa and jenny with me. have you seen it yet?

Se upp!

tomorrow we in sweden finally get to see the latest pixar-disney movie, up. about time! i believe we’re the last in the world to release this movie in the theaters but worth the wait! (när man väntar på något gott… etc) so go and see Carl Fredricksen, Russell, Kevin and Dug in this heartwarming movie which will make laugh, cry and fall in love with the characters. and if you’re lucky to live outside of scandinavia, get the movie on blu-ray or dvd and enjoy it at home.

Story:
Carl Fredricksen, a retired balloon salesman is part rascal, part dreamer who is ready for his last chance at high-flying excitement. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, Carl sets off to the lost world of his childhood dreams.  Unbeknownst to Carl, Russell, an overeager 8-year old Wilderness Explorer who has never ventured beyond his backyard, is in the wrong place at the wrong time – Carl’s front porch! The world’s most unlikely duo reaches new heights and meets fantastic friends like Dug, a dog with a special collar that allows him to speak, and Kevin, the rare 13-foot tall flightless bird. Stuck together in the wilds of the jungle, Carl realizes that sometimes life’s biggest adventures aren’t the ones you set out looking for.

Lots of Disney to look forward to…

we got to spend almost an entire day yesterday in a movie theater and let me tell you: i loved it! we started after lunch and got to get a sneak peak at some of the great movies which are coming up in both 3D and 2D. the 3D movies which i look forward to the most are “alice in wonderland” with johnny depp and the 3rd and final part of “toy story”. from the 2D lineup “prince of persia” with jake gyllenhaal is standing out the most.

after the run-through we were so lucky to be one of the first audiences in the world to watch the nearly finished disney movie, “princess and the frog”. this is disney going back to its roots with handdrawn animation and musical influences. it will for sure blow you away!

like this wasn’t enough… but couple hours later we were invited to a pre-screening of “up” (yes, we in scandinavia are very late with releasing this movie) in 3D. pete doctor, the maker of the movie, was there to present it and tell us a bit about the movie and this was of course an amazing treat for everyone. it’s so wonderful what the pixar team has created and “up” is a movie i wish everyone would take the time to see. both kids and adults but mainly adults i would say.

what a great day! but since i was gone from work yesterday i had about twice as much to do today. and tomorrow will be a busy day (nephew noah’s birthday, linus arriving, meeting the parents etc) so i’m planning on taking it super easy tonight. and who says i don’t have a life?

Tävla med Bolt!

Snart kommer min älskade Bolt ut på DVD men redan nu kan du tävla och vinna en resa till New York!

Allt du beöver göra är att ladda upp en bild på ditt husdjur. Själv får jag förstås inte tävla eftersom jag jobbar för Disney, men alla ni bullterrier ägare måste passa på! Jag vet att ni har en hel del skojiga bilder…

movie that moves you

just before leaving work today i was given 2 gala tickets to the reader with Kate Winslet who received an oscar for her performance. Birgitta managed to ditch doing laundry and came along with me for some champagne and movie.

i really don’t like to write reviews of movies – plenty of people do a much better job at that than i do. but i want to tell you all to go and see it. go and see it, cry and be moved.

celebrating

after the verdict against pirate bay yesterday, head of disney scandinavia invited the entire office for champagne to celebrate. it’s exciting to see what this will really mean to our business. for once i feel i’m in the right place at the right time!

victory!

pirate bay found guilty. read about it here.

about time.

hannah montana – the movie

i have forgotten to tell you about our screening of hannah montana – the movie last week. although i’m not really the target audience for the movie, i have to say i LOVED it. it was so sweet and i really like the music (i have the soundtrack as well…) miley cyrus is a bit of an idol to me although she’s exactly half my age!
i hope to take my cousins’ cousins (yeah i know that was a bit complicated) once it’s out in the theater.

company partaj!

i can’t believe how busy i am these days! but it’s all FUN!

we (marketing department at work) are heading soon to the movies (tell you tomorrow) followed by champagne in MY apartment and then dinner and stand up.  Woohooo!
