Drag me to UP

Welcome to Friday ladies and gents. Yes it's only been a four-day week, but for some reason it feels more like a six-day week and we're ready to begin the weekend.

Of course we plan on heading to the movies at some point this weekend - regular readers know that we're cinema buffs here at MEvBLOG Central - and thought we'd give you the skinny on the two biggest ones opening today.

Check them out, or go play outside, or do whatever you want. Really, the weekend is your time and you don't answer to us.

UP - It's about a crotchety old old man who longs for adventure and embarks on a journey with a dim-witted boy and a talking dog. No it's not about Dick Cheney's past eight years. From what we hear, it's supposed to be incredibly uplifting, hysterical and all around fantastic, so we'll probably pay full-price to see it.

Drag Me to Hell - The image on the poster of Allison Lohman being clawed into the depths of the underworld freaks us out big time, and we were planning to skip it entirely. Than, we read more reviews and it seems like it's a throwback to when scary movies were campy and fun, and not the 90 minutes of torture porn that fills screens these days. We might catch it a matinee.

As always, if you head to the movies, let us know if you liked what you saw. Have a great weekend!
