Absolutely Incredible

Reeta, Claire and I had a busy day today. An eye exam, lunch, a trip to the movies, a baptism at the church, a trip to Fryes, an upgrade to the processor in my home computer... It's been busy!

Yup, we saw the Incredibles, and without hesitation, I'm saying that this is the best movie I've seen all year. Reeta and I agree, this movie requires a heretofore unprecedented score: a +2 Cokes, +1 more. Absolutely brilliant. It's gorgeous, stylish, fun. I don't want to give anything away, so I won't review the plot, but let me tell you, it gives fanboys a bad name. (I'm still geeking out over it!)

Easily Brad Bird's best work ever. In fact, IMHO, this is Pixar's best work yet. A much better film than "A Bug's Life" or "Finding Nemo", the only Pixar film I think is on a par with this is the second Toy Story. Reeta and I were close to heading back to the theater tonight and watching it again, something that hasn't happened to me in years. Beg, borrow, do what you have to in order to see this (except downloading it, because that would be WRONG). Despite my usual disclaimers, (IRLR), this one is one I feel confident that everyone who's ever played superhero as a kid will totally love. And that should be everybody.

I think it's a shame that this is going for the Oscar in Best Animated. It'll easily win. I think they should be shooting for the Best Film honors, personally.
