The Starting Lineup

At a theatre near you starting today!


The Incredibles (PG)
Starring: Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Samuel Jackson, and Jason LeeDirector: Brad Bird

This is the much anticipated and ballyhooed release from Pixar, perhaps their last in association with The Mouseketeers. The Incredibles are a family of retired superheroes trying to live in anonymity. But, you know how that sort of thing goes. Just ask Michael Corleone. "I try to get out but they keep pulling me back in." Looks like a whole lot of fun for the entire family! Maybe I'll get to take the daughter this weekend.


Alfie (R)
Starring: Jude Law, Susan Sarandon, and Marisa Tomei
Director: Charles Shyer

Another remake! Enough already! There have to be 1000's of great-unproduced scripts running around Hollywood but instead we have to endure monthly remakes. This time Michael Caine's 1966 film gets the business. Law plays the title character, a playboy who resides in New York City who discovers there are serious consequences to his lifestyle. Yeah. These consequences are called AIDS, herpes, and allergic reactions to latex! But I'm sure that's not what the filmmakers mean by "serious consequences." I'm sure Alfie and the Sex in the City gang will never meet a serious consequence in their promiscuous lives. I'm beginning to believe that STDs just don't exist in New York City. I could be wrong. Please advise!

New to DVD today!


Shrek 2 (PG)
Starring: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz
Director: Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury, and Conrad Vernon
