Wall-E to Wall-E Laughs


Title: Wall-E
Director/Writer: Andrew Stanton
Average Rating: 4.75 Stars
Excell Rating: 4 Stars
Wall-E scored well on our charts, although not as well as it did most other places. This movie is excellent for a family outting and the kids will more than enjoy it.
The story potrays a robot(Wall-E) who works on the long abandened Earth cleaning up trash. But Wall-E is no normal robot...
While this movie has tons a funny little quirks, it does lack a good story. If you and your family are looking for a fun movie to laugh at then this is the ticket. For those who are look for more of story board, this might not be on the top of your lists.

Get Smart: Got Smart


Title: Get Smart
Actors/Actresses: Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway
Average Rating: 3 Stars
Excell Rating: 4 Stars
With many mixed reviews of this eighties remake, Get Smart gets a thumbs up in our book. Although Steve Carell is not quite the funny genius as he is in his TV sit-com The Office, he does a very good job at playing the bumbling Agent 86, Maxwell Smart.
One has to look at the movie not from the perspective of a remake but a movie of its own. Even though the movie makes an attempt to follow the pattern of the eighties show, it has its own modern kick in it, which a younger generation can relate to.
All in all, this is a good movie and definitely worth the money to go see on the big screen. But if you don't want to pay that much, then it will be a good movie to watch in your own home with the family when it comes to video.
