The Happening & Kung Fu Panda

Over the weekend, I saw two movies.
Where’s the budget for that? I have no idea.
My favorite was Kung Fu Panda. It’s about a kung fun wannabe panda that discovers he’s the Dragon Warrior. The movie is absolutely hilarious. There were points where I was in tears and I just couldn’t get any air in edge wise. Good laughs, good times.
My least favorite is The Happening. The idea was great, but I don’t think M. Night Shyamalan executed it well. It’d be interesting to hear his actual intention without the marketing mumbo jumbo. The movie is about a natural event that…happens. It’s a cute storyline to say the least. I think M. Night may be trying to do something spectacular again, but it’s just not working for him. He should let someone else handle other roles like…writing? I don’t know…
A movie that causes you to remember it, the characters, the story, the message long after you’ve watched it is a great movie. That’s Kung Fu Panda for me. It was worth the money, worth the time, worth the attention I gave it.
When Kung Fu Panda comes out on DVD, remind me to get it.
