Two movies this weekend ...
I saw two movies this weekend that made me just stop and think. In
different ways, they were both entertaining and sobering.
||:::THE INCREDIBLES:::||
I'm
no expert on animation, but this screenplay was cleverly crafted.
Poignant truths are sometimes best conveyed in the delightful
language of kids. Is this a fantastic cartoon story about the
adventures of superheros? Or is this story also about us? If we
were created extraordinary, why must we be so concerned about being
"normal"? In this wearying pursuit to be "normal", have
we slowly extinguished the life that once sprung from the free
expression of our uniqueness?
||:::SUPER SIZE ME:::||
After
watching this movie, one of my friends (a huge In & Out fan) made a
solemn vow never to eat fast food again .... ever!! Tonight, we grabbed
dinner at McDonald's and then watched this movie at a friend's home
(large screen and stereo sound =) -- fully aware that this may be the
last McDonald's meal we ever wanted to eat. It is an
interesting commentary about obesity in America and the influence of
fast foods. It also chronicles the life (and physiological
metamorphosis) of a man who decided to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner
at McDonald's every day for one month. I suddenly feel this urge
to cook up a good meal.

Hey, how is the Incredibles? I have heard so much about it.. But Australia is so slow in getting movies, I probably have to wait for another month before it appears in the cinema..
How are things going for ya?
kk, I didn't want to spoil it by writing too much, but i definitely think it's worth seeing. I went to see it (not expecting much) during the opening week surrounded by a bunch of kids .. quite entertaining too ... even for those who are "only" kids at heart. :weird:
