The Movie Show #49 - Kung Fu Panda & Returner

July 3rd, 2008

Two films I’ve seen in the last week worth talking about: KUNG FU PANDA and RETURNER.


kung fu panda

KUNG FU PANDA is a pretty good animated film from Dreamworks. My kids enjoyed it a lot - Tay, who joins me on the podcast, gave it a nine-and-a-half out of ten. I enjoyed it as well - especially Ian McShane (aka the aptly-named Al Swearengen from DEADWOOD) as the evil Tai Lung - and it’s got a good message for the kiddies, as most of these films do.

Returner
RETURNER is a terrific 2002 Japanese film I caught on DVD during the week. It’s part-Hong Kong triad film, part-Matrix, part-Terminator, and part-Transformers. Lots of fun and cool scenes, definitely check it out!

The Movie Show #48 - THE INCREDIBLE HULK

June 17th, 2008

Edward Norton is the Hulk? WTF?

That was my initial impression when I heard that one of the best character actors working in Hollywood was making a sequel to one of the worst superhero films made since Batman had nipples.

I finally saw the film on the weekend and this is my review.

    On the Movie Show #41, I review:

  • SCOOP, Woody Allen’s latest film starring Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, Woody Allen and Ian McShane.
  • SUNSHINE, Danny Boyle’s latest film, starring Rose Byrne, Michelle Yeoh, Chris Evans and Cillian Murphy. The screening of this was a disaster. Read my live account (blogged from my pda) here and read elroyonline’s account as well.
  • THE SINGER (aka Quand j’etais chanteur), Xavier Giannoli’s latest film, starring Gérard Depardieu and Cécile De France.
