Wall-E Movie Review

Well, I cannot lay around my apartment waiting for one of the cats to grab a pillow and smother me (Brenda has become accustomed to my face), so I went out to see a movie last night. One of my coworkers recommended "Wanted" (sounded like it had all the campy stuff I want in a crappy action flick), but I'm all about cinema. Cinema. CINEMA.

As a result, "Wall-E" by Pixar was the best option.

This film had a pretty simple premise. The story of two robots falling in love by their united efforts to bring humanity back to the once desolated by pollution planet of Earth. Wisely (from at least a financial standpoint), Pixar decided to take the humorous path of rescuing human race. With the failure at the box office of Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting", "28 Days Later") martyr fest of "Sunshine", one has to be able to laugh at the brink of destruction.

Until the emotional climax, humor is always present. I do not know if Fred Willard was needed as the President/CEO of the WalMart like conglomerate that control society (he could have at least gave us his half-ass W impersonation), but it keeps you happily involved with the story.

When I stop to thing about it, the WalMart stuff in general could have been lessened. I thought there was enough humor is a society that is beyond super obesity. It is great that Pixar is making an effort to provide voice work to the past their prime fat actors, but this does lead me to question some of Pixar's believability.

How does a bed ridden society of fat asses consistently mate for 700 years? I've been desperate for a lay, but if I won't shag me, I don't want to make any women deal with the act of satisfying my human needs.

Up: The Emergence Perpendicular Citizens Brigade

Current mood: drained
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

Pixar's "Up" is an inevitable tale of the elderly. The first time we see bloodshed in a family CG film, and we get it from a cute old person. Not only are they using up all of the social security, they are looking to kick our ass. Be it with their four-pronged canes or attack dogs (I'd like to point out that there were no evil [or stupid] cats in this film), they are out to get their way.

Don't trust anyone over 40 never rang so true.

Hopefully, that drew you into this blog about a cute, family friendly film about the bond between like minded explorers regardless of age. Not as daring as "Wall-E" or "Family Guy's" Herbert and Chris relationship, but who needs innovation when you have a well told story...with talking dogs.

Pure bread dogs at that. With the lovable and dimwitted hero pooch Dug, there is either a hidden message about the need to accept everyone or that the meek will actually inherit the Earth. Both views can be seen as optimistic, but I'm hoping its the prior.

But let us get to the elderly conspiracy.
