POLL: What Are You Watching -- 'WALL·E' or 'Wanted'?
Filed under: Action, Animation, New Releases, Fandom, Family Films, Polls

Unlike last week's double dose of the funny, this weekend we're dealing with two completely different flicks. One is a light, breezy, beautiful Pixar animated effort, while the other is a wham-bam-boom, guns drawn, bullets flying, sexy, adrenaline-fueled action pic. Good news is the buzz on both films is pretty damn good. Personally, I've only seen WALL·E, and it's definitely one of my favorite films of the year so far. But you have to be the sorta person who digs Pixar. I know grown adults who can't stand watching animated feature films. That might be you. I happen to really enjoy them, as does my wife, and so we had a blast with it. Read my review. Maybe it'll help sway your decision.
On the other hand, Wanted looks to be the flick for those in need of a big-screen rush. It comes highly-stylized and proud to be rated R. Did we mention that Angelina Jolie still looks sexy as all hell? In his review from the Los Angeles Film Festival, James said, "Wanted's a corporate product, but, thankfully, it's an excellent one -- the two-fisted, double-barreled high-octane guilty pleasure summer action movie you've been waiting for." Couldn't have summed it up better myself. But which one are you seeing? Both? Neither? Something else entirely? Sound off below ...

Eew. Just eew. I can't believe WALL-E is winning this poll. Sure it's Pixar, and not everyone can get into R-rated Wanted, but I'm upset that a film with such a visually fresh take on non-stop action isn't getting more buzz than a curious robot who can't say much more than his own name. Come on... it's like POKEMON, robot-style.

Woah woah woah!!! WALL-E is NOTHING like POKEMON! WALL-E is "visually fresh" also. For one thing, its a sci-fi romance with plenty of dark comedy involved. That's something we don't get from Disney movies nowadays. Don't bash it just because its a silent movie.

I still can't decide if I want to go to a late screening of Wanted tomorrow. Then again, I might never see it if I don't go with a group who really, really want to.

WALL-E looks hilarious and beautiful, plus Pixar's got one of the best track records in the industry (and certainly the most consistent). Wanted, despite all of its post-modern trappings, looks like another big, dumb action movie directed like a third-rate music video.
Hmm, what to see, what to see...

I'll be seeing Wall-E tonight at midnight, and catching Wanted sometime this weekend.
Much better weekend for movies than last weekend's marginal-to-crappy offerings.
Bring on The Dark Knight.
