WALL-E and Prince Caspian

Every one knows that I love movies. Love 'em love 'em love 'em. I also get calls from family members asking about what movies to rent so I have decided that every time I watch a movie I am going to review it for you guys. It is not going to be really detailed or well written but I will let you know if it a good see or not.

First off I also must say that I love drive-in movie theatres! They are so awesome! Maya was such a trooper at her second experience. The first "Indy 4" was a screaming fest. Good thing our car is sound proof!

The first movie we saw in the double-feature was WALL-E. WALL-E is the only robot left on earth, left to clean up the mountains of garbage left by humans who left on a 5 year cruise while the robots clean up. 700 years later, WALL-E is alone and has developed a "personality". He watches "My Fair Lady" a lot and wants someone to hold hands with. Suddenly a ship shows up and he mets Eve. He is in love. He ends up on the ship with the humans on there 705 year cruise.
The movie is really cute! At first I was worried that the movie was going to be a little boring because there is very little human dialog. The robots do "speak" but very minimally but are still able to give out emotion. There are humans in the story that speak, but very minimally.

The movie had some points to think about. First, we are so focused on commercialism and stuff that we are very close to having those mounds of garbage. Also, in the movie there is a scary result of the humans time in space that is so scary for todays people, especially the youth. The people had been cared for by robots so long they no longer had human interaction and were so fat they no longer walked. How scary is that.

It was a good story. Fun to watch and definitely I would give it an 4 stars.

Prince Caspian was cute too. What I saw of it. The movie was long and I wish that I would have watched "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" again before I saw the sequel. I just couldn't remember a lot of what had happened in the first movie and so it was hard to follow the movie. It was well acted. There was a lot of fighting in the movie by the younger actors, but they are trying to save Narnia.

Thank goodness the original kids that were in the first were in the second one.
For this movie I really recommend that you watch the first movie again, or for the first time, before you see this one. I give this move 4 stars also.

WALL-E made me cry!!! It was so cute and the best part was that it was innocent!!! That made me so happy, they just do innocent anymore. I love that he just wanted to hold her hand, not kiss her, or anything else. Just sweet hand holding. Sigh... Too cute. And I also loved Price Caspian... HE was a babe! haha! I could watch that movie any day!
