How is it overlooked? It's already broken box office records and it has 96% positive reviews.

I <3 Wall E!!!

Yes there is basically a movie coming out every weekend that I want to see right now.
Wall E blew me away, I really wasn't expecting what I got from it. It was beautiful and the characters has so much expression that it didn't even need dialogue. That little robot just makes you feel so much, and I never thought I would see a cockroach and go "awwwww"
The movie is extremely honest and I definitely agree with TMB, that Pixar is truly an amazing studio.
I did think kids may have a hard time understanding the general themes. Mostly there is just the cute humor Wall E provides, oh and I heard one kid yell out "Hey pizzas don't grow on trees!" LOL anyone who sees the movie will get why that is so funny.

Watched Ghost of Yotsuya Part II yesterday, which was an OK sequel to the original. The only bad part is it had about as much of a horror element as the original did, which wasn't a huge amount.

Later on, I watched David Lynch's Wild at Heart, which was an entertaining movie with a great cast. I have a feeling -- like with the other Lynch movies I've seen -- I'll be thinking about it for a while.

Wild at Heart
is my second favorite Lynch movie after Eraserhead. Such and awesome film.

Watched Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior with my dad recently and it was nice take on the modern martial arts genre. In a way, I'm glad it didn't rely just on the action.

An alright movie but it's an overused plot imo.

Watched The Atomic Submarine yesterday, which wasn't very good. It felt like an average B movie and it could've gotten to the point quicker.

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army


I am a huge fan of the original, and this surpassed it in every way. I definitely recommend it.


Spoiler:
Drunk Hellboy and Abe was definitely the highlight of the film. Soooo funny.

Watched a couple movies in the past few days...

Heavy Metal, which wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but it was a nice kind of mixed genre anthology movie.

Three Outlaw Samurai, which was very good. I liked how it balanced action with drama.

Lone Wolf McQuade, which was an OK Chuck Norris movie that seemed to keep my attention. It was cool to see David Carradine in the movie, especially cuz he seemed like a legit actor for the main villain.

The Mothman Prophecies, which was decent for a PG-13 horror movie. Nothing really stood out to me for it to be something I'd see again.

And the Cinema Insomnia version of Night of the Living Dead, which I've seen the regular version of the movie before, so I don't have much about it. But I think the CI version -- with Mr. Lobo's horror hosting -- was just as good as the the regular one.

Kung Fu Panda. Ha ha ha, Fat Panda is fat. Give me a break.

*E* Just watched The Mosquito Coast, which I've been wanting to see ever since I read the book about a year ago. Obligatory 'the book was better', but it was still a good, straightforward adaption. Harrison Ford really nailed his character.

Watched Groundhog Day yesterday, which was a touching movie that kept me interested. I thought the concept was petty neat.

Later, I watched the William Castle film Homicidal, which was a nice effort. Its murder mystery aspect kept me intrigued.

After that, I watched The Devil's Rain, which wasn't anything special and the acting wasn't that good. It was cool that William Shatner and Ernest Borgnine were, in the movie, though.

Saw Hell Boy last night, and I really liked it. I could tell Del Torro was really able to run with his style and introduce this whole new world that we really didn't see in the first movie. It was appropriate because you have this organization dealing with all this mystic and occult things and in this film you see where a lot of it comes from. It also had several themes like acceptance and of course love. The actors did a good job Perlman was funny as always maybe verging on goofy sometimes and I really loved the large part Abe Sapien had in this film. I also really enjoyed the introduction of a new character, Krauss. It ended interestingly and of course I have the feeling this may become yet another trilogy. Final the costumes and creatures were dazzling and I found myself oooing and ahing at Del Torro's incredible imagination.

Honestly dude, that's the first time you've posted about a movie that I've seen.
