The Forbidden Kingdom

Mrs.Simpleton and I went last night to see this action/comedy/adventure/kung fu romp, and apparently so did a lot of other folks, since it did really well this weekend at the box office.

The short review? We LOVED it. The slightly longer review? Read on...

Great visuals, comedy from Jackie Chan, action from Jet Li, and enough classic kung fu moves to make a Bruce Lee fan like me smile from ear to ear. Beautiful scenery, and a GREAT score added to it. We'll be going for at least one more showing, if not a couple, 'cause it's a lot to take in in one sitting.

So, what does the Simple One say? Go. Go now. Right now...





Are you still here? GO! What? Oh - the rating. Sorry. Ezzie, would you do the honors? *woof woof*

Ezzie the Wonder Dog gives this one three spinning tails - and Mr.Simpleton throws in a new chew toy and a tub of popcorn. Now, go!

Superhero Movie

This puppy rots. It smelleth. It stinketh.

I like Leslie Nielsen. And have laughed at many of his film appearances. Not so with "Superhero Movie." Mrs.Simpleton and I went, we watched, and we left, wishing we had skipped the went and watched part of this sentence. No clever humor, no witty lines - just the gross kind of jokes and visuals you expect in a frat house on "really stupid comedy night." This one isn't even one of those that you laugh at as a guilty pleasure - unless you live for predictable, gross humor. If so, have at it. Otherwise, Ezzie, if you'd be so kind...

Ezzie drops three steamy piles on this one, and shakes her paws to get off the dirt. Yuckers.
