surrealism vs formism (and a touch of cubism)

a brief summery for those who have seen Hellboy 2 with me:
Surrealism is when things become other things, the art is filled with visuals, all of which are very compelling and unstoppable in their transformations from one object to another.
Formism is when something is something else. There are not transformations, and visual are equally powerful, but they are stable.
Many people misunderstand there's two, and they try to call everything surrealism, simply because that term is more popular.
Now, cubism (as it related to my term paper) is an entirely different matter, where one thing is taken apart into pieces, and every angle of it is viewed simultaneously. it is much harder to understand, because it gives you the entire picture at one time.
