Friday Movies:
WALL-E

walle.jpg

WALL-E is smart and engaging — charming, even. It’s also, at least so far as this sentient adult is concerned — devastating.

But: PS: I love WALL-E. I mean the character. He’s the new Charlie Chaplin, and I can vouch that the theatre full of kids that I saw the movie with didn’t need a primer in silent film. Not that WALL-E is silent, technically — it’s anything but. But there’s no intelligible dialogue for most of the interesting characters. It’s R2-D2 without C-3PO to interpret.

    I wanted to wait till I’d seen it myself before commenting. I saw it Sunday and loved it. So much so, that if any friends suggest that we see it together, I will go and see it again. (I rarely see movies in the theater twice, yes it’s that good.)
