Wall-e

I just returned from seeing Disney Pixar's Wall-E. I don't normally recommend books, movies, etc on my blog or even to friends. It happens, but not that much. I recommend this, it was spectacular. I had high expectations, and Wall-E met them. I laughed, I smiled, I (nearly) cried.

The movie reminded me why Hollywood is doing poorly these days. It isn't because of piracy or disinterest in movies. It is because really truly, most movies suck. It is hard to notice when they all suck, but it becomes glaringly obvious after watching Wall-E. Pixar seems to try to make movies that are enjoyable when everyone else seems to be trying to make movies that will sell. There is a noticeable difference in the quality of the movie depending on where it's creators start out (enjoyable or sell-able), although ironically the enjoyable ones seem to sell better.
