Kung Fu Panda 2
While largely enjoyable, the sequel is less fun & more violent than the original, and the slight design changes leave some of the characters looking at times maquette-ish.
The movie's very final moment leaves things wide open for yet another sequel--a very unnecessary sequel.
African Cats
DisneyNature's annual Earth Day release, this is the classic "nature show," in that the viewers find themselves rooting for either the hunter or the hunted.
As I do during many of thes movies, I constantly found myself wondering, "how'd they get that footage?"
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
I was kind of looking forward to seeing this fourth "Pirates" movie, having heard that it was shorter than the others.
Unfortunately, I don't think it was at all short enough.
Bridesmaids
In the world of raunchy comedies, "Bridesmaids" dances all over "The Hangover," and certainly anything by Will Ferrell.
There, I said it.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules
The first movie made me laugh so hard, of course I wanted to see the second.
The second is still packed with embarassing fun, and best yet, makes me want to read the books.
Thor
Wasn't even sure I wanted to see it: the comic had never appealed to me, and I always find Portman & Hopkins to be OTT in their "anything for the money" roles.
Once I got over snickering at "ice giants," I found the movie to be, surprisingly, much better than I could have dared hope.
