WALL*E


Go see it right now.

Stop reading this and go see it right this very minute. Everything else in your life can wait.

Now go.

Pixar has made some excellent films in the past, but now they have created a masterpiece.

It's not just good; it's not just great. For the first 45 minutes it truly is an absolute masterpiece.

After that it's simply a great film, but for 45 minutes it's one of the single greatest achievements not just in animation but in the history of international cinema.

And for 45 minutes it's possibly the best "clown theater" presented on film since the late 1920s.

Imagine James Agee's unproduced post-apocalyptic Chaplin screenplay The Tramp's New World as performed by an R2-D2/E.T. hybrid, directed by Jacques Tati at his peak and he's calling Buster Keaton and Stan Laurel for advice.

Why are you still reading this?!?

GO!

NOW!!!!!!!

It's getting FANTASTIC reviews. I think Pat liked it as much as Shane.

Although I liked the movie, I was not as impressed with it as Pat. While I do think it was a vast improvement over last year's Pixar movie "Ratatouie" (I know that's spelled wrong), it did not come close to being as magical as some of the earlier Pixar movies like "Toy Story", "Finding Nemo", "Monster's Inc.", and "The Incredibles". The animation in "Wall-E" truly is phenomenal, and that alone makes it worth seeing. And while the story line and main characters were good, they weren't as strong as the ones in earlier Pixar movies. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
