The Incredibles, a review by Dragonfire

The Incredibles My Thoughts I love this movie...though that probably isn't a surprise since I love all Pixar movies.  I first saw this one in the theater when it came out and I've watched it several times on DVD.  I love the plot of having superheroes having to live like normal people.  With how quick so many people are to sue over everything now, I thought it was believable that superheroes were sued for helping people...or like Mr. Incredible...messing up that guy's death.  I like the dynamic with the family and how they all have their own abilities and issues.  The plot does end up being a bit more complicated than it seemed at first.  It is very entertaining and I was surprised by more than one thing that happened.  The humor works really well without getting overly silly or resorting to gross humor.  The animation is wonderful.  Everything has a unique look.  It is sort of retro and futuristic at the same time.  The characters look good, though they aren't realistic looking humans.  The proportions on the bodies - like Mirage's teeny tiny waist - are a bit exaggerated, but that manages to work for the characters.  The hair, especially on Violet, looks amazing and moves so realistically.  The various settings in the movie all have interesting looks.  The characters are all interesting and entertaining.  I think it is very believable that Bob is struggling to deal with his normal life.  Helen seems to have adjusted a bit more, though she has her own issues.  The children seem believable and they aren't annoying.  Syndrome makes a wonderful villain and his motivation works for the movie.  For me, the character of Edna stole every scene she was in.  I loved her and wish she would have been around a bit more.  And her no cape thing makes sense too.  Unfortunately, this one isn't out on Blu-ray yet.  I have the 2 disc DVD.  There are a lot of interesting extras focused on the making of the movie.  I really enjoyed them.  There is a cute animated short that shows what goes on at home with Jack Jack too that is really funny and entertaining. This movie has held up very well and I still love it.  It is definitely worth watching. I posted a review on Epinions after seeing the movie in the theater in 2004. The Incredibles

"Stargate SG-1" Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: The Ori themselves are most likely dead. But their followers continue to fight. Daniel is now "sure" that they will find the "Ark of Truth" in the Ori galaxy. The Ark was build by the Ancients and is capable to show the truth about the Ori to every human being. Thus the Odyssey under the command of Mitchell is going to the Ori galaxy.

My Opinion: On the one hand this movie was very exciting on the other hand several things annoyed me. In my opinion to the tenth season I said that they've re-used old ideas. Now they've done it again and they've even included a huge plot hole. It is most likely that the self-destruction code only works in combination with the Asgard computer core since the program was written in there. If the Odyssey would have been destroyed there would be nothing that could stop the Replicators. And the Replicator zombie was absurd.
And Teal'c has been shot for the uncountableth time since the loss of his symbiote. An extra would lay motionless in the grass yet he travels over the mountains with an energy staff wound directly on the spine.
And the Ori ships in Earth's solar system are graciously waiting with the attack until Daniel can convince them.


That's it. 66 days (February 28th - May 3rd) of Stargate SG-1 are done. I hope you enjoyed to read it a little as I enjoyed to watch it again.

The End.
