Mother's Day with "The Incredibles".... and Streisand (blech!)

Since I'm still here, staying with my Mom after her surgery, I decided to rent a couple of movies. I picked up "The Incredibles" and "Meet the Fockers". We're in our 3rd intermission with "The Incredibles" since another one of my Mom's friends is over visiting. So, I'm taking this time to do some bloggin'.

I never saw "The Incredibles" in the theater, waving it off as another Disney, cutesy, Fisher Price, Playschool induced drivel that I find a lot of the Pixar and other CG'd movies being released in the last decade. But now that we're well into it I have to say I'm very impressed! Sure, it's a little sacrine and family friendly, but they've got the action down pat and the facial expressions are darn good. It's fun to watch. But the promo for Pixar's "Cars" looks like they'll be going back to the kiddie crud that these movies tend to get sucked into. Outside of that "Final Fantasy" movie that came out a while ago, you don't see a lot of fully CG rendered movies that are geared toward adults sadly. CG isn't just for kids. People thought animation was just for kids at one point, then they started releasing movies like, "Heavy Metal" and "Rock 'N' Rule". So maybe there's hope.

Well, we better finish up the movie, 'cause I still have to sit through 2 hours of vomit inducing Streisand in "Fockers" before the day is through.

Happy Mother's day to all of you mothers, grandmothers and soon to be mothers!
