49 UP

I am sitting here typing this with 42 UP on the television. I have seen numerous documentaries, but I have to believe that the UP series is the most ambitious project I have ever heard of. Interviewing the same 14 people every seven years since 1964 (when they were all seven). I though that 7 Plus 7 (which should be retroactively named 14 UP) and 21 UP were the weakest films, but I have found the last couple quite engaging.

We have plans to go to the local theater to see 49 UP this weekend. I am very much looking forward to it, though I am disappointed that we have to wait another seven years until 56 UP.
