Wall-E

Today Harry, Bruce and I went to a PGA screening of Wall-E. Wall-E is the latest from Pixar/Disney. When I first saw previews I knew I would like this movie, the robot reminded me of Number 5 from Short Circuit and I was a huge fan of that movie when it came out.

I loved all Pixar movies from Toy Story up to there last one Ratatouille so I knew this one would be no different. And I was right.. WOW.. what a fanatastic movie. I cried within the first twenty minutes and through out the film. It's amazing that you can fall in love with this little robot that barely says three words but just from his reactions you can't help but love him. What was great about this film was that kids will love it as they will like the robots but adults will love it for the underlying story. Yes this movie is about a robot love story but there is so much more.

I can't wait to see this movie again. I went out to Toys R Us to see if they had some toys. We did find a few but not what I was looking for... gotta keep looking as I need my little Wall-E action figure.

Wanted

Today I got off of work a little early so Harry and I would make it to a screening of Wanted the new Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, and James McAvoy movie. It's based on a comic book by the same name. This was a very cool movie, very bloody and violent and full of language but the action and sfx scenes were mind blowing. There is also a very cool twist in the story which I didn’t see coming. Both Harry and I enjoyed the wild and crazy ride.

Here's a short synopsis: Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a neurotic accounts manager who works in a small cubical filling out billing reports day end and day out. He allows his boss and his girlfriend to walk all over him. To cope with his life, he takes anti-anxiety pills by the bottle full. Wesley has no desire to change his humdrum life, but one day while getting more pills at the drug store, he meets a beautiful woman in black, Fox (Angelina Jolie) who changes his life forever. Fox was sent to protect Wesley from the man who had just killed his father. Wesley thought his father had died soon after he was born. Fox tells Wesley, "that his father died yesterday on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Building, and you are next." Wesley is recruited into the "Fraternity," a secret society of assassins that his father was a member. Fox must train Wesley to bring out his special powers that he was born with in order to avenge his fathers death. "The Fraternity's" leader- Sloan, (Morgan Freeman) also teaches Wesley the ways of the group, and Wesley soon becomes an assassin just like his father. But nother everything is as it seems.

Wedding Plans

Time seems to be flying by.. It’s only a little over five weeks away and we still have a ton of things to do. We are trying same money by doing things ourselves but it's alot of work and with so little free time it's making things really tough. Every weekend from here on out will be doing something that pertains to the wedding. But in the end it will all be worth it.

Get Smart

Today Harry and I along with a few friends went to a screening of Get Smart. I loved the TV series back when it was on so I was looking forward to this movie. The movie was very enjoyable. It was not only funny as I expected it to be but it had some really good action scenes. It was a very cool remake of a classic TV series. Everyone really enjoyed it and afterwards we went to Mel's Diner for lunch.. it was a fun outing with some great company.
