Kung Fu Panda


When I first saw the trailer for Kung Fu Panda, I wasn't very impressed. I thought, "Not another animation movie." But, Po is so cute and such a reluctant hero. Now, I am so tickled over his colorful shorts. I love it!

I would recommend it to anyone. It is definitely better than the Shrek sequels. Very nice animation and the soundtrack is great.

The moral of the story: never judge a book by its cover, awesomeness is within yourself if you only believe and girth saves the day!

Utterly Disappointed!


Over the holidays, there's not much going on so we decided to go to the theaters. We were thinking - National Treasure: Book of Secrets or I am Legend. We haven't seen a Will Smith movie in a while and we thought after all the rave reviews, we should see him for a change.

Let me say this. The reviewers must be bought or something. Will Smith is no doubt, a great actor. He holds three quarters of the film well. Conversations with Sam, his faithful K9 companion and dealing with day-to-day life dodging the zombie like mutants, simply known as "The Infected". A bit slow for our liking. Moving but *yawns*...

The movie goes downhill with the emergence of the holier-than-thou Anna & Ethan. They are also immune to the virus. So, you see - Smith isn't exactly the last man on earth, in the normal sense that is. There's a colony of normal humans "somewhere out there".

When "The Infected" and his cohorts go all out on Neville (Smith), Anna & Ethan, the movie is already nearing the end. In a matter of 15-20 minutes, everything is over. Is that it?! Yes. The storyline is very cliche thanks to all the zombie movies available out there. (Hint: 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead, blah, blah). The ending - too abrupt and lame. Luckily, we only paid matinee prices.

My verdict: Go and see National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
