Wall-E - 2008
Bugs, Cars, Fish now Robots. Don't know why I always hesitate watching a Pixar film but when I finally get around to it I'm always amazed by what that studio does.
Simply awesome effects, animation and story. The scene where Eve and Wall-E are "dancing" was magical! The messages of the film are overt and I thought the anthropomorphizing of Wall E and Eve were a little silly at first, but I warmed up to the fact and really fell into the story. Pixar nails another one for both kids and adults. Good stuff!

I love it, but I'm a huge Woody fan. I know it's not one of his more well received films & and some feel that he was kind of out of ideas with this movie. I couldn't disagree more, it's his ode to Fellini's 8, so the mirorring is obvious. It's poetic, & funny, & loaded with symbolism which is everything that classic Woody does best. It's just such a shame all of his greatest work is given some of the shittiest DVDs ever produced.

Oh yeah, huge, I didn't know you were either. I even like a lot of his most maligned work. I've just never bought most of his stuff outside of the first box set collection b/c the DVDs are so poor.

The DVD's are poor quality but I've purchased almost all of his work for $3 per film or less so I'm not complaining. It would be nice if they got the Blu-ray treatment though.

Assassination of a High School President - Really enjoyed this movie a lot. Definitely a "hidden gem" kind of movie. I netflixed this but I will definitely be buying it.
