1. Polar Express is cute
I'm sure the kids would like it. :) Haven't seen the Incredibles.

3. Go see 'The Incredibles' now...
and then take them to go see 'Polar Express', when it gets closer to Christmas, since it's a Christmas movie. :hi:

4. Make sure to see both. Incerdibles because it is great and Polar
because all kids need to see a good Christmas movie to start the season.

5. Incredibles is
incredible.

Polar Express looks like a stupid overdone hack job on a charming book. In fact, go buy the book and everything else Van Allsberg has written. Also try to get a book called Roxaboxen. It's out of print, but maybe your library will have it. Wonderful book.

They should NEVER try to make a movie out of a kiddie picture book. Jumanji, also by Van Allsberg, was a lovely book and a stupid movie.

6. "Saw" is a cute movie about an animated saw that saves a forest full of...
...cartoon animals. It definitely has some good lessons for kids.

8. We just tried to go to the Imax
version of Polar Express. It's sold out for almost the whole run.

I'm not likely to make it to the 9:45AM showing.
