I heart Wall-E. A lot.


I saw this for a second time last night. And it still made me laugh and cry.

The memories of 80's childhood movies are still very close to my heart, so something that could bring the nostalgic tingly feeling that Short Circuit gave me, still felt very much alive when I saw this. (I have all of the terrible 80's American films hoarded up in my DVD collection...even the dreadful ones like the Mannequin and Police Academy no. 1,560. I shamefully adore all of them)

The fact is, halfway through any film at the cinema, my mind is whirling...is the time up my carpark ticket? Have I got fined/clamped for overstaying? Will the gates be locked forcing me to pay a 40 pound fine to be released? Is the gap by the fence still there, and can I get a Mondeo through it?....the fact is, I was only worrying about this after the film, when I was walking out. The mixture of sadness and elation was taking up too much of my emotions to worry.

Obviously, I can't give anything away but GO AND SEE IT! Kids will love it, nerds will love the '2001: A Space Odyssey' references (I saw this with a computer programer who owns 4 PCS, numerous game consoles, and 'got' all the 'in'-jokes I didn't...figures). Highly entertaining, with a strong sense of morale I hope doesn't go unnoticed to those who watch the little robot with the big doe-eyes....enjoy.
