Kung Fu Panda

Rating: 8.5 out of 10 stars
I saw this movie in late June at Fresh Pond Entertainment Cinema

First of all, it is hard to realize how many big names are in this movie until you see the credits but they all defer the spotlight to Jack Black in this hilarious animated film from Dreamworks.

The message is great and Jack Black punctuates the movies with his special brand of humor and really carries the movie well.

I think the real gem of this movie is the artwork of the epic battle scenes and how they are cut and put together. It borrows from anime and epic martial arts movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the visuals just really shine through in this one.

Visually interesting movie that is so funny it'll make you say 'stop, I'm gonna pee'. Don't miss this one!

Movies I will see soon: I am looking forward to seeing "Constantine's Sword" on Monday night this week and "Mongol" on either Tuesday or Thursday. I don't know much about "Constantine's Sword" but "Mongol" comes from renowned Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov so I think that should be a very good film.
