Pop N Good

And so should you should be too. 1. Wall-E - Out on 18th September, this animated film, about a lonely robot left to clean up earth is HUGE. You'd basically have to be devoid of a soul to hate this film. It is #26 on the IMDB top 250- that's better than Citizen Kane. It has a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It has robots in love. What more could you want?

 

 

I have a bizarre confession. Anyone who musters the energy to read this column regularly has probably already clued on to the fact that the Pop 'n' Good columnists have a tendency to obsess over all things entertainment.

But Pope Benedict XVI is a bit of a rebel, and he apparently keeps a cat or two. On his recent trip to Australia, a grey feline by the name of Bella was reportedly smuggled into his quarters to help him pass the hours. He don’t just break the laws - he throws them against the wall, sets fire to them and jumps on the remains in combat boots! WHOA!
