WALL•E, a review by Critter

Year: 2008

Director(s): Andrew Stanton

Run Time: 98  minutes

Plot: In the distant future, a small waste collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind.

Cast: DVD Extras:My Thoughts
This is a film that I enjoyed so much when it was first released that I saw it four times in the cinema. Three of which were all in the space of one week. I have since watched it again on DVD but it has been a while so I felt due for another viewing. I am still yet to watch this film on blu-ray but my DVD in a blu-ray player enhances the quality already and certainly does the film justice. I am looking to purchase the blu-ray of it in the future though.

Where do I even begin with such a fantastic story, Pixar has yet again set the bar for animated films monumentally high with WALL-EWALL-E My Rating

The Hangover, a review by Rich

Title: The Hangover

Runtime:96
Certificate:15
Year:2009
Genres:Comedy

Plot:From "Old School" director Todd Phillips comes a comedy about a bachelor party gone very, very wrong. Two days before his wedding, Doug (Justin Bartha) drives to Las Vegas with his best buddies Phil and Stu (Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms) and his future brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis), for a blow-out bachelor party they vow they'll never forget. But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, they can't remember a thing. Their luxury hotel suite is beyond trashed and the groom is nowhere to be found. With no clue about what happened and little time to spare, the trio must attempt to retrace their bad decisions from the night before in order to figure out where things went wrong, in the hope of finding Doug and getting him back to L.A. in time for his wedding. But the more they begin to uncover, the more they realize just how much trouble they're really in.

My Review:
Incredibly funny and a riotous success, this film is real laugh out loud stuff and is one of the best comedies I've seen this year.
Without any major star billings in the main leads, the film relies on a terrific script and top drawer directing to bring the comedy to the fore, and delivers a great film accordingly.
Very original and fresh, the humour occasionally tiptoes along the boundaries of decency, but manages to always stay on the right side of funny not indecent, with many scenes and lines from the film to remain vividly memorable in the future. Babies hand gestures, and the old naked guy being examined by the doctor, you know you shouldn't laugh, but cannot help it.
The outtakes are hilarious, and showed how much fun the cast had with the film, and overall this should be a good addition to anyones 'comedy' shelf in their dvd collections.

This is a fun episode played more for comedy then anything else.  Which is a nice break from how they been playing it lately. And I must say I got a kick out of the Vampire cat fight... fighting with chopsticks!
