This week's entertainment topics are...

Movies : Suburban Heroes
The Incredibles follows the adventures of a family of former superheroes rediscovering the true source of their powers � one another.

On Screen : MOVIES COMING YOUR WAY...
Action: KILL BILL 2:  -- Given that Kill Bill was originally filmed as one movie then split into two, it's possibly surprising that Volume 2 stands out on its own as a cinematic masterpiece. But with a stylish intro from The Bride and enough story in-filling to give you some background to this tale of bloody revenge, Volume 2 is not to be missed. Quiet and moody where Volume 1 was loud and brash, the film leads us to the climax we all know is coming via The Bride's wedding party, her tuition at the hands (literally) of an ageless Kung Fu master and several messy deaths. Don't miss it.

Music : Sound Check
Simple Plan
Already a multiplatinum success story, you wouldn't think the five guys from Simple Plan would have much more to complain about. Oh, but these Canadian pop-punk rockers have found 11 more tracks worth of things to whine about on their sophomore album Still Not Getting Any.

Gossip : SUPER SPONSOR ME
You're slim, beautiful and a pop act that many young girls look up to as role models. So when it comes to choosing a sponsor, it's only natural to choose a fast-food company. And so it was for Destiny's Child as they signed a deal with McDonald's for sponsorship of their 2005 world tour.

Books : Little �Lonely Planet'
Title: Vera and Victor Discover Thailand
Vera and Victor are siblings who love to travel. When they arrive in Thailand, they discover a place that is very different from their home. Along the way, they get the chance to try spicy Thai food, go shopping and visit temples guarded by giants. After taking a boat trip and riding a tuk tuk to explore Bangkok, the children hop on a plane to visit the beautiful beaches.

Music : Gone Country
With her catchy beats, sexy dance moves and Indian-tinged sound, Ratha Phongam (Ya Ya Ying) has built a successful career for herself in the world of pop music. But with her latest two albums � Wan Wann 1 and Wan Wann 2 � Ya Ya Ying has moved away from trendy pop and has found her voice covering Thai country, or luk thung, tunes.
