Two Movies in One Night

General
I got to see two new movies this evening. The first movie was "Wanted" It was pretty cool, nice action movie, probably one of the better ones I've seen recently. It had some good sequences and an interesting twist. I don't want to say any more or it'll get into spoilerage.
The second movie was WALL E
Now, I know you've probably been hearing a lot of hype about WALL E, and let me clarify for you right this instant, it is ALL TRUE. Okay, I do have some hangups with some parts of the story concept, but it was executed BEAUTIFULLY! Normally I see movies with a great concept that get ran into the ground by poor execution, this was almost the complete opposite! The story concept, what I heard of it, did not initially sound all that fascinating, but Pixar did an EXCELLENT job! Heck, this is the first movie in years that I have had to fight the urge to watch again, IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS! I can't say it is the best cinematic feature in existence, I don't throw that kind of thing around willy nilly, but it is a VERY SERIOUS COMPETITOR FOR THE TITLE! If it does not win all kinds of prestigious awards, then I imagine I will be sick with fury!
For kind of a SEMI-SPOILERLY review, just imagine a combination of Short Circuit, Batteries Not Included, and the best parts of virtually every Pixar movie to date, and remove any and all extraneous dialog that would dilute the brilliance of it, and you will have WALL E. Now, saying it's the best movie this year (or even for the past two or three years) would probably not be an exaggeration, in fact, it is probably the best Pixar movie TO DATE. I'm surprised the entire studio, director, and writers didn't kill themselves immediately after finishing this picture, because it is so incredibly unlikely they will EVER make anything nearly so beautiful, ever again! Compared to WALL E, I fear, every other movie I ever see is going to taste like garbage, which, if you have watched WALL E, is pretty damn ironic.
