When did you see WALL.E ?. I have heard it is stunning, some of the greatest cinema ever made and not just in the field of animation.

Did not make top 25, somewhere in top 40.
This weekend:
Rambo - Fairly entertaining, mindless bloodfest. Like Stallone always does, trying to be worthy but better off just sticking to the bloodbath. Okay- 4.5
There Will Be Blood - I had very high hopes for this and obviously it has been highly critically acclaimed. Did it live up to it's reputation? In some areas it did but failed in others. DDL performance was extremely meaty and right for the film but I can't help thinking that there was something missing. Can't put my finger on it but like I say was a very good performance.
The story offered nothing new to me. Fairly standard tale of a man's fortunes and misfortunes and the destroying of his soul along the way.
The cinematography was good and I think they captured the brutality of the life a man would lead in those time.
All in all I found it slightly disappointing and I feel it was less than the sum of it's parts.
I know many people said it is one of the best films of all time but I'm gonna slap a 6.9 on it.

E.T is one of my most hated films. Slushy, sentimental, overly manipulative clap trap of the highest order. Spielberg should be ashamed of himself.

It is NOT a kids film. It is a beautiful film, its a love story really. Simple but stunning. Anyone who cannot relate to it does not possess a heart. The end scenes with the farewell is the most moving end to any film, beautiful shot and lit
again simple but said all that needed to be said, come , stay , ouch. You simply do not have a heart and I feel sorry for such a cold hearted lump of wood.

Even as a child I hated it for the way it tried to emotionally blackmail me. Vomitous, shallow crap. Just well packaged crap.
