Robots (2005)
Sheer Genius
One of the best movies in a long time for kids and adults. The design work is sheer retro-genius and nostalgia for some of us older chaps who remember the pre-1960's style of things. Tremendous detail in the design and artwork, new layers come out in subsequent viewings.
Excellent story line.
Good emphasis on character and quality. Truly inspirational.
This movie would be better if there were not so many jokes about flatulence which is a major negative.
I only see a few movies with true greatness, and this is one of them that really surprised me how great it is.
Roadside Prophets (1992)
Philosophical Must - See
A movie most people will love or hate. I think it is one of the greatest of all time, but it wont appeal to the hoi polloi. The story of a guy on a mission to scatter the ashes of a casual acquaintance in some unknown remote Nevada gambling town along with his nerdy sidekick. This movie is entertaining in a quirky way but the coolest thing about it is the people the bikers meet and the things that they say. Those people are the Roadside Prophets, and it is the words of those prophets that was the neatest think about the movie. The Prophets are Tim Leary, Arlo Guthrie, John Cusack, David Carradine, and more. This movie reminds me of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Dead Poets Society wrapped together with the Firesign Theater. The motorcycle trip is a interesting carrier story line for the real message, which is a philosophical one. Do something with your life. Let your roman candle burn brightly. Don't waste your time sitting on the sidelines.
Abbe Wool is a genius.
