Caught a screening of "The Panda" and all I can say is wow! I took my 6
year old daughter, who has the attention span of a 6 year old, and she
wants to see it again. So do I! Jack Black is not only half of the greatest band in the world, he is
also a fine voice actor. His flawed character, Po the Panda is very
refreshing. So is this film. After having to sit through the boring

Why do these movies feel they need to include a bratty, spoiled,
overbearing kid?? The ridiculous performance of Jaden Smith added
annoyance to the empty script.The movie starts off well enough, and then tries miserably to develop
the characters and make us care for them. The Bates role is absurd;
Cleese's role has virtually nothing to say this amazing encounter. The

going gaga and adding a 100 million to its gross revenue...but that's

funny as anything Adam Sandler or Will Ferrel has ever m...

requires a thinking viewer in order to understand and appreciate it. The
director's cut is the recommended one to see as it omits a somewhat

A 2.0 overall (which is what it was when I looked at it on IMDb), does
not do this film justice. My ranking is an 8.When I read this was a pilot for a series, I was not expecting much,
but I'd heard good things about it, and, since I sometimes feel that
I'm one of the last Spike Lee fans standing, I thought I'd give it a
look.What I saw was terrific characters in intelligent settin...

stunning beauty, breathtaking choreography, handsome actors, and enough
legend to make the storyline fascinating, e.g. 'The House of Flying
Daggers'. This pathetic film is packaged like those wonder movies and

Most people can't differentiate between a bad film and a film they don't
like. Many people didn't like this motion picture because of its liberal
subtext. That doesn't make it a bad film. Most people don't realize that
this was a Canadian production and that probably explains the political
slant. However, as action films go, it was intelligent, high tech,
stimulating, borde...

For about a dozen years, it was hard to find too many films Richard
Gere made which weren't interesting and well-made. This was no
exception. Once again, he "delivers the goods" and is involved in an
interesting story.Gere, a follower, I believe, of the Dalai Lama whom the Communists
forced out of Tibet, uses this film to get his shots in at his mentor's
enemy. Anyone who think...

ain't Shakespeare, but it's better than that.This movie was unpretentious and fun. You could clearly see that
everyone involved in this project was having a good time.Tank Girl is a campy comic-book splashed up on your screen. The folks

This movie got poor-to-middling reviews when it was released in 1994 but I
still hold out hope that it eventually gets its proper respect in TV and
Cable reruns, because it's a terrificly entertaining film. Maybe it just
takes a certain frame of mind or background to enjoy this movie, but I
absolutely love it and frequently go back to it when I want to see how a

One of the biggest hits of 1992, the original WAYNE'S WORLD is a definite
classic and is one of the funniest movies of 1990's, but I am not a big fan
of sequels so I tried to avoid watching WAYNE'S WORLD 2 for a while.
Eventually, I finally got around to watching WAYNE'S WORLD 2 and found it to
be surprisingly better than the original. Part of the reason the movie
succeeds is b...

..But that's not to say the movie is all-around great. It's a very
typical low-budget action flick. The story is pretty cookie-cutter as
far as action movies go. It isn't Shakespeare believe me. And the
acting is substandard at best. But Jeff Speakman to his enormous credit
is a very accomplished martial artist. And having studied Kenpo for
many years I can safely say that it's...

The Two Jakes and The Godfather 3 were released in the second half of 1990
and both films proved that sometimes it's best not to tamper with classics.
This is not necessarily because sometimes a sequel can't compliment a
classic, but because no matter what you do, there's no way to avoid
comparing the new versions to the old. And the final chapter of the
Godfather trilogy is va...

one of the greatest mysteries of our time. I'm truly perplexed. Roger Ebert
seems to be the only critic to at least half-realise how truly funny,
entertaining and brilliant a film THE GOLDEN CHILD really is.Without doubt it's one of Eddie Murphy's finer films; it's impossible to not

that combines some of my favorite things about movies: Action, comedy,

laugh at and more. It has bad acting, and a lame story. However, it's a
lot of fun for those of you that enjoy lazy afternoon cheeseball films

direction
with great zip and flair. The fact that this still gets so many negative
reviews proves that, even now, most people...

The seventies were the last years of great (American) films. I say
films because when we speak of movies nowadays, we allude to
blockbusters that generate hundreds of millions of dollars, the least
amount of controversy, and are mostly inane crowd pleasers with
tacked-on endings.Consider the output of influential film makers Allen during that time:
Coppola, Scorsese, Altman, Lu...

Flower Drum Song holds a special place for me because it was the first

place in the pantheon of Rodgers&Hammerstein shows. Back then minority players had a hard time getting parts and Flower
Drum Song certainly filled a need there in the same way Porgy and Bess
has done for black people. This was the fir...
