WALL·E (2008)
Fantastic
This movie blew me away. It is the best film made in the 21st century, and should be required viewing for earthlings of all ages. As an environmental film, it far surpasses "An Inconvenient Truth," and the homage to "2001 Space Odyssey" is subtle and moving. And the music, glorious music! I will never look at "Hello, Dolly" in quite the same way again. I will never look at a plant quite the same way again. I will never look at material possessions and junk food quite the same way again, as well. WALL-E is a parable disguised as a children's film. But its message is literally universal and earth-shaking. I just saw it this afternoon, but already it has changed my life.
Unidentified (2006)
Bad movie
This movie was poorly conceived, poorly written and poorly acted. All of the characters were two-dimensional. It was a real amateur attempt. The movie was fundamentalist Christian propaganda. The Christian characters are holier-than-thou and they are without a shred of compassion for the skeptic or the undecided characters. The movie was a real "gotcha" for both the skeptic character and myself as a viewer, putting us in a very uncomfortable situation. I complained to the theater management and was given a free pass to another movie. I remember another movie on a similar subject, "The Rapture," starring Mimi Rogers, that was much better and professionally done. I think I'll watch "The Rapture" again. If you attend "Unidentified" and don't like it, don't say I haven't warned you.
