OK I have to admit that of the ho-hum and forgettable past Dreamworks Animation pictures, I was extremely surprised with Kung Fu Panda. While I believe that Jack Black is a dish made tolerable in small doses, he fit the character Po perfectly; clumsy, pitiful but still heartwarmingly hilarious. Anyway Dreamworks has been working on the follow up titled Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom and it’ll actually be here pretty soon. For now, take a look at the teaser trailer below… This upcoming animated film and the sequel to the 2008 film, Kung Fu Panda will be presented in 3-D. Directed by Jennifer Yuh, this sequel follows Po…

Off the Shelf…'I Heart Huckabees'
I Heart Huckabees is a odd-ball movie to say the least. With scenes that end just as abruptly as they begin the film is filled with heavy off-kilter humor. Simply stated, the comedy here is both unexpectedly subtle and rampantly uproarious. Certain scenes just amaze you as they were so off the wall that actually worked and mostly because you didn’t see it coming. Admittedly, it may be too out there and I agree it’s not for everyone. It is slow at times but Huckabees is still a film you can be happy to have seen just because the characters are so damn funny.

Off the Shelf…'Hook'
I think it’s fair to say that a great many people overlook this film and it wasn’t really popular when it came out, but over the years I have learned to love Hook. Steven Spielberg can almost do no wrong and while this is a departure from the actioners he is known to helm, this still had its fair share of kid friendly swashbuckling. Talk about an ensemble cast, this film has acting talent in spades…
