7. I've found that Pixar can do no wrong, and they've got a new one out now.

Going to see The Incredibles this weekend, in fact.

on edit: Check out this final paragraph from Salon's review of the movie. Might be an excellent antidote for our incredibly awful week:

"The Incredibles" has that rare quality of feeling modern and classic at the same time. Bird is interested in the ways families work, but he's not hung up on that great bugaboo so recklessly referred to as "values." And although "The Incredibles" begins and ends in suburbia, Bird doesn't necessarily equate suburban environs with normalcy or safety. "The Incredibles" is a movie about the way spectacular gifts often lurk beneath conventional-looking surfaces. It celebrates not ordinariness and conformity, but eccentricity and individuality. And while it recognizes the importance of working together, its more powerful assertion is that smoothing ourselves into a homogenous, unthinking whole only weakens us. In that respect, "The Incredibles" is democracy in action. It's comforting to know that there are people out there who still get it -- even if they're cartoon characters.

All of the movies that are mentioned sounds good.

10. You mean the "Grudge?"
Sarah Michelle Gellar is just a horrible actress, although her part is smaller than you'd think from the commercials.

Other than her it was an OK movie.

13. Yeah, that was a good one.
I made the mistake of seeing it on opening night. Women were screaming so loud it disrupted the movie.

12. I have read really great reviews about "Sideways".
It's directed by Alexander Payne, who directed Election and Citizen Ruth, 2 great flicks.
