Having not been to the cinema for a long time, we finally went to see The Incredibles this week, and I must say it's a great film for everyone. It looks brilliant, with Pixar swotting aside any concerns about creating human skin easily, and has a cracking plot to boot.

Highlights of the film must be the wonderful fashion designer, who steals every scene she features in, together with Samuel L. Jackson's character arguing with his wife about priorities whilst the City is destroyed around them.

All in all, it's a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours, and certainly worth the admission fee.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the remake of The Stepford Wives which we rented from our local DVD emporium the other day. Despite starring Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) and the new Chanel number 5 girl (Nicole Kidman) it's absolutely rubbish. The film jumps about desperately and the ending is truly awful. Christopher Walken does well in his fairly limited role (but then he's always watchable), but otherwise it's definitely one to avoid.

Given the choice between the two, I'd pay the extra and go and see The Incredibles every time, and encourage you to do likewise, if you haven't already done so.
