![]() Hannah Montana The Movie $29.99 The stuckup teen pop star finds that she needs to grow up and stop the Lindsey Lohan self-destructive behavior. She meets the challenge well and finds that adulthood requires truth. A very good coming of age comedic-drama. Worth owning for the movie part ... without the singing. Acting is much better than the tv show. ![]() Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Single-Disc Edition) $29.98 love the movie and we received it the day it was released. plus Amazon always have great prices. ![]() Wall-E (Single-Disc Edition) $29.99 I must be in robot heaven (haha, I know, lame joke). With the use of CGI and today's technology, robots can really come to life like never before. Long sine the days of stop motion being used to show the first Terminator in the original movie (like most, the second one is the best to me). Or maybe it's my discovery of robots in the Transformers movies, I can't imagine why. While Terminator 2 and other robot movies still aren't dated at all, CGI can show that robots can do all kinds of things before. So leave it to Pixar to make a visually stunning blend of . Even if it is has (ugh!) love story moments. First off, as a romance movie, it's passable. For the most part, I HATE (that's in ___________ caps for a __________ reason) romance movies, and all of their terrible, cliched, and hackenyed drawn out bull_______. In my opinion also, kissing and $#% scenes are the ultimate in third person syndrome. Wall-e had some really cringeworthy moments I thought, that made me roll my eyes, but aside from that, I'm going to have to say I didn't really mind the romantic moments as much as I do in other movies (Nicholas Sparks, ). And of course, it's way better than the classic Disney princess movies, with zero magic in their soulless trek of damnation to kill my soul. The robots themselves are all designed beautifully, as you believe that Wall-E is easy to love, EVE is sleek and has the coolest gun ever (seriously, that thing can do some damage), and the assorted robots, from Bern-E, the giant Wall-E's, and everything else, are all very memorable. Maybe the third rate Hal knockoff isn't the greatest in the world, other than that, robots everywhere, and damn cool ones at that. However, even though there is some romantic moments, it still has plenty of Pixar greatness, as well as great entertainment, a Pixar staple. Morever, Pixar's latest is for kids and adults, like many other Pixar movies before. I'd say that this movie leans more on the adult side more than Up, Finding Nemo, or Toy Story, although there is no question kids will love this picture as well as the adults. Sure, some the humor is lame, but, for the most part, it's lighthearted story really works on many levels. People (even myself) will obviously love seeing a robot with many human qualities, romance lovers will love seeing two robots share love (meh), and some people looking for some message will love seeing the desensitization of the people on board and the effects of environmental problems. All the way being entertaining throughout. Visually speaking, the world of Wall-E is stunning. When I first saw this in the theaters, I was pretty jaw-dropped at the barren landscape that first showed up. The world is so dry you could probably feel it on your tongue. Like many other Pixar movies, the world comes to life yet again, as that is always something Pixar does so well, is making a world believable and great to live in. MOving on from that, looking at the spaceship, it's design reminds me of the interiors in the 2001 movie, and being a fan of that look greatly, I appreciate it a lot. The spaceship actually looks pretty cool and grand, and the space scenes themselves are distant, massive, and seemingly endless, like space should be. Looking at all of their other movies, it's no wonder they are the masters of showing unique, different worlds . From a world populated by cars, toys, bugs, superheroes, sea animals, and monsters, they once again show that they do it so much better than their competitors (the "worlds" of Over the Hedge, Ice Age, and Madagascar has no imagination. *spits*). While I was not impressed with Wall-e as I was with Ratatouille and Cars, I feel that Pixar still makes great movies. ANd while this movie is overrated in some senses, definitely not worth to be ranked within distance of Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Seven Samurai, or Citizen Kane on the IMDB, I must say that Pixar continues to make great movies that really do so well in today's movies that are constantly released. Thank Pixar for making movies that actually stand out amongst most of the computer animated crap that is released this year. B- |
