I used to love going to see movies in New York &#8211; and I still do love to see movies, but since coming to Japan I haven&#8217;t had the time or the money.  Movies here are super expensive.  A ticket for a movie costs usually about $18.  If you get food though, it is a lot cheaper than in the US, so that is a benefit.  Also they sell beer, which is nice.  I have really enjoyed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pixar.com\/\">Pixar&#8217;s movies<\/a> so when I heard that <a href=\"http:\/\/adisney.go.com\/disneyvideos\/animatedfilms\/wall-e\/\">Wall-E<\/a> was coming out in Japan I knew I wanted to take R. to see it.  I love robots!  And Pixar movies are cute!  We can&#8217;t go wrong!<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nSo I&#8217;m sure many people have reviewed this movie before, but I&#8217;ll put in my two cents.  It is a really great movie.  Cute and fun.  A bit of a scathing comment on commercialization, consumerism, and apathy.  It is also just a really cute movie.  After the movie we bought matching Wall-E and Eve phone straps, which worked out well because my old phone strap, a little Kubrick Bear Star Wars trooper, had lost both his legs in the line of duty.  So now we&#8217;ve got cute matching phone straps.<br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nIt was also surprising to me that I could (if I was the unscrupulous type) download a Blu-Ray rip of Wall-E <b>before the movie came out in theaters in Japan<\/b> if I had wanted.  That is crazy!  Release these things more quickly in Japan people!  <P><br \/>\nSo, a short review that amounts to: good movie!<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago, R. and I went to a movie.
