It's difficult to say to be honest, i've only seen Wall-e once, but seen Toy Story umpteen times. As a first watch i would say Wall-e is on par with it, though i'm unsure of how rewatchable it is, i'm willing to bet quite a bit.

He was just such a lovable protagonist.

[EDIT] Sorry for the double post D:

I was slightly disappointed with Wall-e... it was so hyped up I just thought it was going to be uber mega but it wasn't all that.

Toy Story is just legendary. And not Pixar... but similar elk - Robots. Watched it yester again and I laughed throughout it! I love the whole thought put into it! Genius!


My recent review:

Cabin Fever.


I'm going to put as little effort into this review as possible as it's already wasted a couple of hours of my precious life.

Teenage American Graduates go on holiday to a Cabin situated on the edge of some zaney weird-ass village which is a million miles from anywhere.

Your typical characters: the slut, the stud, the complete knob, the cute sweet hard-to-get-girl, the guy in love with the cute-sweet-hard-to-get-girl but has-never-admitted-it but instead walked-a-round-dribbling-on-her-all-his-life and the gutless moron.

Storyline pretty much equates to: Slut gets out boobs, complete knob acts like a knob and thus gets everyone in trouble, everyone does stupid things, guy in love tries to do the right thing, everyone protests, people go crazy and do the STOOPIDIST of STOOPID of things with STOOPID other non-real-to-life-characters, slut shags boy in love because she wants a shag before she dies, a rabid dog is thrown in, peoples limbs are strewn about with flipflops attached and they all get royally screwed by weird-ass-weirdos.

Chuck a bucket of blood over the above, a baseball bat and some random country bumpkins and there you have it.

I think... I think they try to make it over exaggerated and melodramatic towards the end in a last manic attempt to save the film by turning it in to a spoof horror comedy... and it FAILS!! F-A-I-L!!

I'd rather dump a brick than watch this ever again.

0.5/10 (the 0.5 is for a joke incorporated at the start of the film and the punch line is at the end which made me lol rather loudly)

I'm torn between being sorry that someone else has shared my pain in watching this film and relieved that I can now start a support group knowing that there is another soul who felt the same distress. I've always tried my best to make sure that no-one else watched it by describing it frequently as the worst film I've ever watched with no plot to speak of, no discernable enemy, no suspense and no direction to the killings - sorry I obviously didn't manage to tell you of this and save you the time and money in watching it.

Want to know one of my fave sequences in Toy Story?
When Woody and Buzz are in Pizza Planet, hiding in the cup and the burger carton. As they run, you hear the same sound as if you pull your drinking straw up and down really fast out of a drink/milkshake cup.

Makes me smile every time.

Open Water 2: Adrift

This film is pissing me off now.... same as cabin fever, bunch of people doing stupid things... randomly hitting out at each other, because someone forgot to let down the ladder on their boat and they are stranded in the ocean.

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!


Annoying parts of the film: its not freaking rocket science, that you send one of the lightest of the team up the 'rope' of swimwear i.e. NOT a man.

Neither is the fact that generally men are stronger swimmers and it should have been a man who attempted the swim to shore i.e. NOT a woman.

And when she gets out... wtf jump in?! And the bloke - even if it were your fault why wouldnt you jump up the ladder?!


End Spoiler Alert!

Apparently based on a true story... somehow and an unofficial sequel to Adrift - another film. Stupid ending too.. could have been better after the whole torture you were put through watching it.

Reminded me of The Hole. Which I remember was a bit better.. only a bit though.

0.5/10 - maybe for the fact that it was cleverly filmed so it looked like they were in the ocean.
