WALL-E
Everytime Pixar outdoes itself - but with WALL-E they have outdone themselves ten times over. This film was a joy to watch and experience from the first frame to the last - and believe me I stayed all the way until the very last credit had rolled. It’s that good.

Besides the amazing animation and characters, this is also perhaps Pixar’s first movie with a semi-political message behind it. Its a commentary of man’s current obsession with technology, its laziness and the damage we’re doing to the environment. The messages and commentary, thankfully, are done with class and are very subtle and intelligently done. I also liked the shout-outs they made to Macs and HAL, the infamous computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Im gonna watch this one again!

Wanted
Wanted is the most ridiculous, amazing, stupid, awesome, brilliant, hot, over-the-top, unbelievable, totally necessary, ultra violent, poetic and sexy movie of this summer. Whatever it was trying to do: it worked! Its a mix of Fight Club, Bourne Identity and a really really crappy movie all in one.
Indiana Jones 4
A fitting tribute to the first three movies. Its everything and nothing the first three were. I enjoyed it, but felt a little bit was missing. Certinaly not my most favourite of the 4 Indy movies, but what I liked about it was that it doesnt try to be what it isnt and is everything it is and was.

Pandora says that it would rather shut its doors rather than bow down to the RIAA and pay royalties. I say good for them. However, I never quite got all the hoopla about Pandora. Ive used Pandora probably about 2 times ever since it went live 6+ years ago. If I wanted to have my own radio station I would have started one myself. Oh that’s right! I did.

By now Im sure you all know about the .10 second victory that Phelps had over Serbian swimmer Cavic last night in Beijing. Click here to see a frame by frame view of how he did it. I didnt watch it of course because Im boycotting the Olympics - but I wish I had seen this swim live.

Whats amazing is how well the Silver medalist is taking it. I have to admit if this was me, I would have been devastated, having lost the gold medal by such a narrow margin. He wrote in his blog today:

“Success!! I did it!!! I won an Olympic medal everybody! On winning a SILVER medal: I am completely happy, and still in complete disbelief that I was able to achieve this feat! I’m not joking… It’s a tough loss, but I’m on cloud nine. I congratulated Phelps and his coach Bob Bowman. I’m just glad the race was fun to watch for everyone. It was a pleasure for me, really.”

Thats how one becomes a champion - being gracious in defeat.

As much as I would like to admit it, this really wasnt me that bought a £400 million home. Im still holding out for one thats at least £800 million. Pfft! Even my dogs are not worthy of a mere £400 million home.
