Well, an
okay start to it, the Sg cousins met up. We went for
a movie. Watched Wall-e.
Cute little robots, especially the dedicated to his job: M.O.
The storyline is okay, but contrary to what gab said, I thought the beginning was necessary, to give the audience a glimpse of his everyday lifestyle. Anyways, I thought the ending was quite unprepared, like it was too short. Anyways, overall, I would give the movie a thumbs up. The end was quite satisfactory and the plot was not too complicated, then again, which disney/ pixar is?
I would rate the show a 7.9/10, which is good, but not a BAM WOW GREAT. For example, I would rate "Enchanted" a 9/10, because of the whole cartoon switch to real, and the cleverness of the way they shot some of the films, and the twists and everything, and the satisfying ending, well, somewhat. Oooh, and the songs, some are quite addictive, then again, I get song addicted very easily.
Walle could be an 8/10, but it lacks something, but I don't know what. It just does. Maybe it needed songs sung by the mains, but the robots can barely talk, let alone sing, so the nature of the film is that it can only achieve so much.
Other than that, its quite okay, unlike the disappointing "Prince Caspian" which I found a few glitches in. Prince Caspian was TOO OLD. AND Susan+Caspian= WHAT???!!!??? AND, the whole part about Aslan only in Lucy's dreams, and not coming till later? AND, the conflicts between Peter and Caspian? That was WAY out of line. AND, what on earth was with that whole raid in Miraz's castle??????? None of those were in the Book. I don't mind a few changes, but CHANGE the whole thing would they???
I would give it a... 5/10. Maybe a 5.1. Or a 4.9. No don't get the wrong idea, I don't hate the Narnia series. I would give the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe an 8.5/10 mind you. That was great, and I loooooooved it. But Prince Caspian was really... I mean as I was watching I was thinking: "WHaaaaaaaaa.????????"
Anyways, moving from that,
We also watched "The Way Home" on DVD yesterday, but not with the cousins, as a family. Five of us. It was touching. About a mute Grandmother who was saddled with her seven year old Grandson whose father and mother (the grandma's daughter) split up. The grandson unintentionally and Intentionally, made life difficult for the poor grandma who did not complain once. She was very loving.

Boy: Kentucky Chicken!
Grandma: (Signs) Chicken?
Boy: Yes!
LATER...
Boy: I said Kentucky Chicken!!! (Wails) Why is the chicken in water???
Grandma: (Signing) Chicken. This is chicken...
Boy: Aaaaaaaaaah.
(The grandma bought a LIVE chicken and STEAMED it.;D)
I would rate the movie an 7.9/10. The only problem I found was that some of the scenes were a bit draggy and extended. Other than that, not much.
So that's all I think, for now.
