Up – 17. June, 2009

Goddamn it, Pixar does it again.

This film is just awesome. Somehow you get a trippy animated adventure film that also manages to examine the darkness that festers in men’s hearts, hearts congested with loneliness, anger and obsession.

And yes, it is 3-D but the film employs none of the typical 3-D gags. Honestly, I can’t believe the number of people I’ve heard complain about this. I think this is what 3-D will be like when (if) most films adopt the technology. Like sound, color and Cinemascope, the medium will find subtle ways to blend this technology into the storytelling.

Oh, and how I adored that opening montage. Damn, Pixar really knows how to do silent film right.

WALL-E – 4. September, 2008

This film has a magic that’s rarely seen in the cinema today. The folks at Pixar know how to construct smart entertainment that taps into our childlike wonder. Goddamn, this is the kind of spell every filmmaker should be casting.
