Wall-E 9/10
Really cute, but that's just the sugary coating. This film stays with you--and it might be the first Pixar joint I've been willing to call a "film". Haunting, scary, charming, sweet, funny, epic, and beautiful.
Truly outstanding soundtrack by Thomas Newman (best known, I guess, for his work on American Beauty and Scent of a Woman). Exit Song (For a Film) by Newman and Peter Gabriel, "Down to Earth", had better damn well get at least a nomination for the Emmy if there's any justice in the universe. AMAZING song.
I reserve 10/10 for really special movies, and this one tempted me. I'm most likely saving it for Dark Knight.
