Faster Than A Speeding Bullet
I saw The Incredibles yesterday and it has a lot to recommend. The script nicely captures suburban angst as experienced by a family of superheroes-in-hiding. Comic fans will appreciate some of the winks that the movie gives to tropes of the genre--the hidden base on a volcanic island, the capes superheroes wear, the evolution of supervillains, etc. A lot of the humor will go right over the heads of most kids and they won't even notice; a testament to the skill of the writers. The only bummer was that I missed the teaser trailer for the next Star Wars movie. I know I can easily find it online, but it's not quite the same as seeing it on the big screen.
