 | THE
ILLUSIONIST
Release: Aug 06 - Review: 7 Sep 06
The Distractionist.
In a movie about misdirection,
the opulent production design, set decoration and sumptuous cinematography of THE ILLUSIONIST serves to misdirect the audience into believing that there
is something more profound at stake than the Getting of Panty.

IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT
 Release: Oct 67 - Review: 1 Jun 10
Before Eddie Murphy, there was MISTER Tibbs.
Eddie Murphy's proclamation of being a "nigger with a badge" in 48 HRS., though a wrecking ball for its time, pales when weighed against the first "nigger with a badge" to do some real psychological damage to white supremacy - Sidney Poitier in IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT.

 | THE
INCREDIBLES
Release: Nov 04 - Review: 20 Jun 07
Puts the "in"
credible.
The humor is wit, rather than slapstick,
the heroism is moral rather than muscle-bound and the whole outlook is adult rather
than kiddie - THE INCREDIBLES is as real a movie as a cartoon gets.

THE INFORMERS

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS 1978
Release: Dec 78 - Review: 6 Apr 09
Communist Plants in Skeletal Pants.
...Finney's story puts forth a very plausible biological, rather than frontal-assault-forceful, method of invasion; like China invading America with knowledge rather than combat.
