Emilt, go see Wall *E! We just saw it and loved it. Eve reminded me a little of myself… hard around edges, anylitical and compulsive, rule follower, but the funny, doting, sincere guy (Wall * E)… well, watch the movie. Oh, while there is very little dialogue, the score and sound effects were pretty loud (my boys held their hands over their ears the whole time, but still really liked it). There will be parts that are disturbing (consumerism and destruction of Earth, societal values, etc.), because of how close to reality it really is…

It was a good one—-Charlie’s going to see Wall-E with his summer school classmates in a few weeks; wonder if any of the themes noted here might come up. Very best—–

Kristina, my boys Alex and Kyle seen Kung Fu Panda this week Big smiles.

Alex keeps repeating the parts of the movie he liked best. He had a good time and plenty of popcorn too!

Even adults can benefit from this movie.

Great movie.

I’ll have to see that movie.
The kung fu place that was near my house moved farther than walking distance to annoy me.

But walking there would count as good exercise.

We loved the movie too. I thought the introduction animation was beautiful but M panicked because it did not look like the previews.
