The Incredibles

I saw The Incredibles last night and for those who haven't watched it yet, you're missing out. If you have a girl, bring her out and watch it. If you have an illegitamate son, bring him out and watch it too. In this day and age where there are so many movies to watch but so little time, I definitely think it'd be worthwhile to take some time and go see The Incredibles.

The majority of animated films nowadays are enjoyable but they really don't do it for me in terms of entertainment. Obviously the CG will usually be great and the films usually all have funny lines, but that's about the extent of animated movies.

Now I did enjoy Shrek 1 & 2 but I don't consider them to be in the same category as other animated films because the humor in Shrek is a little more adult-based. (I'm sure many of the young kids who went to watch Shrek probably didn't understand half the jokes and references in that film)

In terms of Disney films, there really wasn't anything that stuck out or made a big impression on me, until now.

The Incredibles delivers humor that both adults and kids can appreciate. I really think Pixar and Disney did an excellent job this time creating and producing an animated film that appeals to all ages. Maybe this will help Disney with their unstable future.

What essentially made me enjoy The Incredibles in particular were the creative plots, ideas, and lines that constantly slapped and poked my brain. Only this film and the Shrek series made me truly realize that there are indeed extremely creative people amongst us.

Two Week Recap

There were just too many things that appened in the past two weeks to write about, things I would classify more as reflection than anything else. I've been busy thinking about those things amidst juggling more work than three mules are capable of hauling.

Speaking of work, if any of you know of a Japanese in Tokyo who has 10-15 years of Accounting and Finance experience AND who has either a CPA, MBA, or both, drop me a line and I'll introduce that person to an up and coming entertainment firm with stock options.

Gracie's B-day Bash

Yup, it was Gracie's B-day and we celebrated at Cinespace. Before hitting the club, I went to Star Shoez with two of my coworkers, but unfortuntely they couldn't make it to the club because they got intoxicated too quickly. Fortunately, I found more friends at a nearby parking lot and we were able to party it up. Happy b-day Gracie! You finally got your sneakers back. ratatat tat.

Reena's B-day

Last weekend was also my homegirl Reena's b-day as well. We ended up going to the Highlands and thanks to Reena's bad old self, we got to bypass the long immigration line that formed on the fourth floor and were able to get priority entrance on the first floor. Not only that, but Reena's friends were able to get me in for free with VIP access. That's right - A rooster got in for free at Highlands. Maybe it was because the whole night started right and so my perspective was already biased but I have NEVER tasted Patron that was as good as it was at Highlands. Man oh man. That night was really fun, especially in the VIP room because they played consistently good hip hop unlike the main dance floor which played enough variety to make a kid with ADHD go crazy. Anyway, thanks for that invite and happy b-day again Reena! Hope that guy called you back! Yeah, I know you know who I'm talking about girl.

Eye Candy

Today's eye candy is Carolina Ardohain. She's an Argentinan soap opera star who also does a lot of modeling. Hard name to memorize, but easy candy to swallow.
