here's my pixar thoughts


i thought cars was shit. uninteresting, uninvolving.

i did enjoy bugs life .. i thought a lot of fun was had with the subject material (the life of insects) good voicework too.

monsters inc .. underappreciated and i cant understand why. i think its the finest kids film ever made.

toy story 1 and 2 ... great films

Finding nemo - gorgeous animation - typical pedestrian story

Wall-E - fantastic. gorgeous animation and a story that exceeded my expectations. the horrible ads led me to believe that this movie would be cutsy-pie garbage - but it wasnt .

Tinker Bell

I might be getting soft, but I was pleasently surprised. Not your typical "Disney is trying to make a few bucks off of an old idea". Some thought went into it, some of it was genuinely funny, and on the whole, it was pretty creativee. They even tie it in to Peter Pan.

Dont give me any shit about it, even if I didnt have a 3 year old girl, my wife likes fairies and Tinker Bell specifically, so i would have seen it anyway.

Here are my Pixar thoughts: :p

Cars - I had very low expectations but found it charming and actually pretty amusing toward the end. Cliched story, but well done and enjoyable.

Bug's Life - It was Ok. Cute. I agree - Good voicework, but not really memorable as a whole.

Monsters Inc. - Overrated and I can't understand why. I thought that the story was insipid and a waste of a great concept.

Toy Story 1 and 2 - Agreed. Brilliant films. And Toy Story 2 is possibly one of the best sequels in film history. Seriously.

Finding Nemo - I agree whole-heartedly with Urge here: gorgeous animation - typical pedestrian story

Ditto. One of the best animated ever made.

last seen:

Tropic Thunder (2008)

>>:B-

Wall E (2008)

Simply beautiful.

>>: A-

Hunger(2008)



The story of the last six weeks in the life of Bobby Sands...the Irish republican hunger striker; the film showcase life inside the maze prison and what the prisoners did to try and win political status.

Slow, boring & there was nothing entertaining but it's quite a powerful film indeed. The tortures to the prisoners were brutal and the shocking thing was the entire hunger strike part shown on a horrifying way.

Worth a watch.

>>: B+

Pretty cool Ruggero Deodato flick about a dude who loses it after a rare disease takes hold of his body. Kinda dragged towards the end but I enjoyed it.

Kung Fu Panda...it was adorable. It reminded me a lot of Star Wars actually, but set in China with cute animals instead of space creatures.
