waaayyy kewl movies

so, i have my moments every so often when i go into siskel and ebert mode. this is one of those times, so, here goes another list of waaaayyyy neat-o movies that i've seen recently.

CJ7



if you have ever seen kung fu hustle, then you've heard of stephen chow. he also directs this little gem that is directed to a younger audience. it's about a very poor little boy who's given a gift by his equally poor father and the adventure that ensues. it's a funny, adorable story with loads of kung fu elements splashed throughout. for me, i feel it's a keeper, but for the rest of the world, i just think you should watch it. it's awesome.



Hancock



this movie was just awesome and totally unexpected. it had a very neat twist and a very unconventional way of telling the tale of a super hero. this movie definitely breaks all sorts of molds and i found it friggin awesome . . . didn't i already say that? well, it's double awesome.

Son of Rambow



this movie is so, just, wow. it's about this little boy who's brought up ultra-religious and through some smooth talking done by the school bully, this little boy is introduced to rambo, violence, television, going against authority, and, above all, finding his imagination and running with it. moral of the story? let your kids watch rambo before it's too late! not really, but, let your kids be kids for pity's sake.

now, go watch this movie.

you will not be sorry.

rambo would.



Wall-E



for some stupid reason, this movie got a lot of flack because of the fact that it dealt with a society of people who relied too much on technology and became really obese. it's a cartoon people. it's for the kids. and it's an awesome story.

this little short circuit lookin' dude is left alone to clean up earth and he goes a little loopy, but then he finds love, hitchhikes to this society of fat people, saves the day and wins the girl and everyone learns a lesson.

what's not to love? why does everyone have to get their panties in a bunch every time something little rubs 'em the wrong way?

silly, small-minded people make me itch . . .

all in all, it's a great movie. the short that comes before it is pixar's best yet, in my opinion (my dad almost wet his pants).



so, that's all i have for the moment, but i'm sure that there'll be more later on.
