THE INCREDIBLES


Despite de fact dat I have to finish off my dreadful CSI task before Monday, I still have the time to go out for a movie with Mr Bee and my fellowship theraphy. When Nita SMSs me for The Incredibles- I couldnt say NO for sure. I love Pixar works too much! The orangy fish in Finding Nemo is still haunting my animated mind and when The Incredibles was opened this week, I knew I have to see another one of Pixar's masterpiece.

MM asked us to join her and Abah 2 de open house nearby. As usual, the bohong sunat tactic has to be used and Mr Bee told her that we have an open house somewhere near Damansara to attend to. Most of de times, we hate lying to her. But in the position where you cannot reveal the truth coz u know that it will hurt her feelings, the above measure is the ultimate solution. Just dont make it as a habit.

Only Ta, Micks and Matun were around this time. The less noisious ones. Other bubblicious gurlygurls are busy as bee- Amla is still in Ipoh celebrating Raya, Shara have seen it with Halim, Koyan is busy preparing for her big day, and Sofi she has a baby hero to take care of at home. So, only 4 of us were there, oh ye, plus Mr Bee, its 5. As the group is getting smaller, you'll see others who are quiet most of the times started talking, and you started listening to their stories. And its interesting. You feel that you also miss talking and ranting with the others who were not there.

This is not a movie review. Hehe. Well, sort of. I enjoy the movie so much. So, here it goes...

Ladies and gents, Pixar does it again! THE INCREDIBLES.

Wonderfully funny and fast-paced animated valentine to comic book heroes with a unique spin: the titular family of action heroes are part of a federal witness relocation program - after society has deemed them too 'special' resulting in far-too-many legal woes that eventually find themselves back fighting the good fight when Mr. Incredible (in square-jawed jocularity) faces a new enemy in the form of Syndrome (having a snarky field day), a former fan of the superhero who has now made it his life's mission to off his one-time would-be mentor, while attempting to raise a family with Elastigirl (the ever feisty) with varied results.

Excellently cast especially the Incredible' eldest, painfully shy daughter (love the curtain of hair-one-eye look!) Violet and the middle, precocious tow-headed son (aptly named) Dash who both are becoming aware of their 'specialness' as adolescence beckons (metaphors aplenty!) And there is a fellow hero Frozone, a (literally) cool dude bud of the family as well as the ever irrepressible pip-squeaked 'boss' of Mr. Incredible's alias Bob Parr, an insurance claims adjustor; and a femme fatale named Mirage who bares more than a striking resemblance to Gwyneth Paltrow morphed with a pipe cleaner. Not to forget, the fashionista/costume designer Edna E. Mode in a hilarious no-holds-barred slap of surreality to the reluctantly returning superheroes into the fray.

What is most surprising is the warmhearted emotion that is on display with the gut-busting comedy juggling act of breathless action. One of the year's best films in my opinion! :)

Go people. Go and see it!
