The Invincibles at the Box Office
The overseas numbers for Pixar’s box office hit are in. The Incredibles were invincible at the box office pulling in over $44 million. Reviews are coming in from around the world too. I think they like it.

Narnia, the next big thing?
Disney’s filming a ‘live action’ version of the Chronicles of Narnia. Some artwork made it onto the net this weekend. C.S. Lewis and J.R.R.

If not there’s… Read More »Narnia, the next big thing?
Grey Lady on the Incredibles
I bet you thought the stories on Pixar’s hit The Incredibles were over, didn’t you. Well, they’re not. The New York Times has chimed in with a story on the message behind The Incredibles and the pressures to conform that are put on today’s children.

National Treasure, starring Elvis
Just got back from watching Nick Cage channel Elvis in his latest flick, National Treasure. It’s getting bad reviews from critics, but I think they’re missing the point of this film.

Incredible Design
The Incredibles dwell in a kind of extraordinary dystopia, at once a celebration and an exaggeration of Eames-era modernism. Flanking either side of their suburban abode are split-level houses whose bland facades are punctuated by rows of tailored boxwoods: they’re robotic stand-ins, a kind of horticultural mutation of Stepford-wife stupor.
