We took the kids to see this flick yesterday and it was surprizingly fun. The 3D helps even if it’s not too “in your face”, my youngest loved to try to grab stuff like the glowbirds.
What makes the movie is the “not too much” factor, they don’t overtry with the script. Not too much mushy stuff, just enough dinos, right amount of action, not too much to make this completely icky like so many summer blockbusters do.
Fun family flick, enjoy!

Movie review: Wall-E July 14, 2008

We went this weekend all four of us to see the new Pixar flick Wall-E and the reviews are promising (see Rotten Tomatoes), at a fresh rating of 97%. OK, I’ll bite.
My reservation was how they were going to pull it off, just like any other Pixar movie. When we saw Cars, I had the same reservations, just like with Nemo. The wizards at Pixar came through, and can’t stress how much fun this was. As a bonus, the short flick Presto was just hilarious.
Run and see it, you won’t be disapointed. Just one thing I wish they’d done differently, they added footage of real live humans Vs animated. Kinda removes 1% of charm.
I think this was the last of the “original” Pixar movies, prior to the Disney buffet frenzy. Let’s just hope that the Mouseketeers have enough sense to leave this marvel of film making alone.

What a fun flick! Took the kiddies to see it today – loved it. Highly recommended, great animation and loved Steve Carrell as the Mayor. We may not have grown up with Dr. Seuss’ stories but we got into them as parents and it’s a lot of fun to read. My wife does a great “Yurdle the Turtle” read

We went to see the new flick this weekend named “In Bruges“. Fun movie, not bad, not great. If you like darker humor with a British twist, you will like. Would make a good rental.
On thing which struck us is the number of Harry Potter movie actors found in In Bruges:
- Clémence Poésy: Fleur Deloncourt / Chloë
- Ralph Fiennes : Voldermort / Harry
- Brendan Gleeson: Mad-Eye Moody /Ken
So we were watching the flick trying to find out where we saw these folks before..
