The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Wall-E

Updated: July 1, 2008
I still haven't seen Wall-E, but I'm going this Sunday. Apparently, there's quite the uproar in America over the film. Here's a quote of the evidence from Think Progress:

Shannen Coffin: From the first moment of the film, my kids were bombarded with leftist propaganda about the evils of mankind. It’s a shame, too, because the robot had promise. The story was just awful, however.
Greg Pollowitz: It was like a 90-minute lecture on the dangers of over consumption, big corporations, and the destruction of the environment. … Much to Disney’s chagrin, I will do my part to avoid future environmental armageddon by boycotting any and all WALL-E merchandise and I hope others join my crusade.
Glenn Beck: I can’t wait to teach my kids how we’ve destroyed the Earth. … Pixar is teaching. I can’t wait. You know if your kid has ever come home and said, “Dad, how come we use so much styrofoam,” oh, this is the movie for you.
Dirty Harry: Have we lost Pixar? Have we lost the wonderful studio who brought us The Incredibles and Ratatouille to Bush Derangement Syndrome? Here you have a winning streak going back ten-years, enormous amounts of public goodwill, equal amounts of credibility as serious storytellers, and they stop things cold, yanking you out of the story with the liberal nonsense. Quite a disappointment.
Jonah Goldberg: I agree with the charges of hypocrisy. I agree that the Malthusian fear mongering was annoying

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

This is looking cool!

I finally saw it with the gang from work on Friday. Visually, it was a very beautiful movie. The story, while it had depth and potential, wasn't really explored. It was Hollywood-pap ... entertaining, without requiring much from the viewer.
