Incredible Incredibles
Ouch. That's a bad title. Even so, The Incredibles (of which here's one review) is great. At times you forget it's even animated. I think it's probably the best Pixar movie yet and they've set it up nicely for sequel. This is a not a review, but just a quick note to tell you to go see the film if you're even the least bit inclined to. Even the moral of the film ("it's ok to be special!") is done with a light touch, so it never gets in the way. Minor spoiler below the fold...
UPDATE: The Onion has an interview with Brad Bird, the movie's creator. He was also responsible for the excellent Iron Giant.
My favorite character comes at the very end when we find out that the baby actually does have super powers, too (not a surprise). He can turn his whole body into flames and transform into a demon. Coolest. Baby. Ever.
