Quick DVD roundup

While Gav's breakdancing was the most entertaining thing I saw this weekend, I also caught a few good movies on DVD.

Friday night saw Wall-E, which I rather enjoyed, even though it was a little uneventful. As its an animated feature I presume its aimed at kids, but I wonder how it would hold their attention. The first half hour or so doesn't feature much dialogue, just a few lines of robot talk, and I found my mind drifting a bit. It picks up in the second half though, and the animation was fantastic.

Last night I sat down to the new X-Files movie. I was a big X-Files fan in the nineties, although I guess there weren't a lot of other options on TV back then. I wasn't expecting a whole lot out of it, but it was pretty decent. At one point Michella even said "You know what, this isn't actually a bad movie". They should put that quote on the DVD cover. Of course, that was before all of the limb amputations started. Still, you could do a lot worse than this, and Dana Scully is looking as good as ever.
