How many movies can show the main characters getting drunk on ice cream?
All in One of a Kind
Wes Anderson's THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU
I admit it. I'm terminally unhip. But I really enjoyed this movie. I put it right up there with Buckaroo Banzai and Repo Man, and that's very good company.
Brad Bird's THE INCREDIBLES
The house was packed. The movie was terrific. We had a great time. Another Pixar triumph.
So what is so great about this movie? It’s funny, the action is nonstop, the characters are memorable, the animation excellent, the dialog is witty, the satire is clever.
Michel Gondry's ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND
Many years ago I remember thinking, while reading Philip K. Dick's quirky novel UBIK, "No one will ever be able to film a movie like this." I think i just saw one -- ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, and it makes perfect sense in a lopsided way.
SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW
The most interesting extra on this DVD is the long documentary that tracks the production of the film. It documents with great detail and enthusiasm what I think is the main message of this film, that people “outside the mainstream” who have a vision can produce blockbuster entertainment that depends heavily on modern technology managed and used in a tightly controlled temporary business environment.
