Blades of Glory was much more entertaining than I'd been led to believe. It's definitely far from Will Ferrell's best work, but it's very funny and well worth the DVR space or Netflix rental. I found it on one of the movie channels or I probably wouldn't have seen it yet. I'm glad I did. It jokes about the extremes of what competitors will do to get ahead (like the Tanya Harding incident with Nancy Kerrigan) and makes fun of some of the crazy costumes that have appeared in ice skating competitions in recent years.
I definitely think those who enjoy skating competitions will enjoy Blades of Glory more than the rest of the population, but it's a funny movie.

I'd see any Pixar movie in theatres and I will continue to do so. Disney needs to keep them as a partner or lose their best animated movie creator of late.
The Incredibles is great! Sometimes, you could even forget that you were watching an animated movie, since the characters seem so real. It was easy to get involved in the story line and to care about the characters involved. Pixar just keeps getting better and better. They never cease to amaze me and I'll definitely own The Incredibles, as I do the rest of their movies.
