Wall-E

My oh my, this gotta be the best movie for Pixar Animations to date.

The plot – What if mankind had to leave Earth and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off? WALL-E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for. From Academy Award-winning writer-director, Andrew Stanton (“Finding Nemo”), Disney-Pixar’s “WALL-E” is the story of one robot’s comic adventures as he chases his dream across the galaxy.

Simply stunning and speechless. Literally. There wasn’t much dialogue given the fact that Wall-E is built for thrash keeping and not thrashing talking, this little robot has really charmed me by it’s innocent actions for love and sentiments. And as you know, a technical item like him doesn’t have feelings. But for IT, its somehow different.

The storyline was great, the plot was even better, because there’s some education in it and I’m truly impressed entirely with the show. I was quite surprised by the storyline as well. But Wall-E did play a big part definitely.

Don’t ask me how I watched it as quality wise is best at the cinema itself. And judging from the fact that it’s online, I can’t deny that the visuals and CGI are such a beauty. Mesmerizing. Humour and action were just as adequate and firmly speaking, I think it’s like a short film made into a movie. But they did it with perfection.

For a child, watching this would mean more than just an animated cartoon. It will mean many things, especially for an adult.

Overall, an Oscar winning performance without big names, without much dialogues, but just gestures for the pure heart and mind. Wonderful movie.

Ratings 5 out of 5 stars.

Step Up 2 The Streets

So do you think you can dance? Well, I can’t really dance, but this show might just teach you the necessary steps. =)

The plot – In this sequel to the 2006 “Step Up”, Andie is a newcomer at the Maryland School of the Arts, and her bad girl streak threatens to keep her from finding her place. She’s not exactly the most liked student in school but she soon pairs up with a student very different from her, the popular Chase. The two soon find a group of students to dance in a secret competition that suits Andie’s talents. Romance eventually sparks between the two dance students from very different backgrounds.

Forget the words, forget the all so mediocre phrases. Just let the feet do the talking. This movie is all about dancing, dancing and even more dancing. No one could ever stop this people from doing the robots to the slinky. Amazing dance moves that really deserves an Oscar, although I totally agree with the fact that the lead actress can’t really dance properly.

The plot is ultimately weak, as it is normal to expect from a show of a different theme. But the sole purpose of watching this show is really… just to see them dance, and yes it’s hell bent exciting.

In all, just wait for the freaking DVD and rent it, then just SKIP, yea, you saw that, SKIP to the dances. The words that are mentioned from everyone’s mouth are quite useless to really hear. Hmm.
