Last of the June Releases both start with a W. 6-28-08

This weekend at the movies did not disappoint. There were two solid movies grossing over $110 million combined. Both were excellent in their own genre. Here is Our 2-Cents Worth:

Wanted - This action thriller starring James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and Angeline Jolie was a non-stop-edge-of-your-seat drama. The premise of the movie involves the conversion of an everyday neurotic account manager into an enforcer of perceived justice: an assassin.
The movie is very well done and it is not predictable in any way. We want Wanted to get......................3.5-Stars

Wall-E - This cartoon adventure set in the distant future involves a waste collecting robot (WALL-E) who has resigned himself to a lonely life on an abandoned planet earth. But one day a probe robot is sent to investigate the planet (EVE) for new life. This precipitates a space journey that will decide the future of humanity.
But the secondary premise of this movie is what wins your heart and that is that even robots can desire and fall in love. The animation was spectacular, but we have come to expect that from Pixar Films.
The voices are by relative unknowns with the exception of the ships computer, done by Sigourney Weaver and one of the ship's crew, John, voiced by John Ratzenberger.
WALL-E is an EntErtaining, hEart warming animatEd film and wE think it dEsErvEs............................................................................. 3.75-Stars

On Video (They both start with T)

27 Dresses - Catherine Heigl stars in this romantic comedy about a young woman who has been a bridesmaid 27 times. The road to her 28th bridesmaid experience is for her own sister's wedding. This is full of comedic resentment. When will it be her turn? Tune in to see.
We give 27 Dresses - 2.5-Stars.

10,000 BC - This prehistoric epic highlight's the life of a young mammoth hunter in his quest for answers about his father and the future of his tribe. But what he really wants is his childhood sweetheart and will go to extremes to get her.
With a cast of relative unknowns, the movie is interesting and worth watching.
We give 10,000 BC.............................................2.75-Stars.
