Panda Rules! Especially The One Who Know Kungfu

Panda, a conservation reliant endangered species in China, has been a national emblem of China for many decades. It has "officially" invaded the west (in fact the world) in 2008 through the highly successful animation show Kungfu Panda.

His name is Po (voiced by Jack Black), he is funny, cute and very like-able. With it's successful recipe of right mix of east and west elements, eye-popping animation special effect, as well as nicely crafted storyline, it is an instant hit and a blockbuster movie of the year. Thus, it is a matter of time that a sequel is in the making. 

Finally, the sequel is here! The title is simply Kungfu Panda 2. I've just watched it this morning in 3D (IMAX). The storyline is slightly more complex, the plot is darker, but it's still full of action, mind-blowing special effect and many "fell off the chair" one-liner jokes. What caught me by surprise is the inspirational elements that incorporated in this sequel. I know most of the animation or cartoon movie will incorporate some do-good elements, but Kungfu Panda 2 just hit all the right notes. To quote a few inspirational lines from the movie (might not be the exact words):

"Find inner peace and all things can be resolved"

"Where are you from (history) is not important, who are you NOW and what you want to be in the FUTURE is the key!"

This is an entertaining movie not only for kids, everyone can enjoy and learn something out of this movie. Highly recommended for all ages!

Cheers!

Blockbuster Movies Not To Be Missed

Tomorrow is Vesak Day (Public Holiday in some countries), which informally known as "Buddha's Birthday". For those who are Buddhist and celebrating it, Happy Vesak Day!

For those who are into movies, there are a few blockbuster movies coming to the theaters near you, mostly are sequels though. As I am a movie buff myself, I am taking this opportunity to recommend 3 must watch "akan datang" (coming soon) blockbusters for your consideration:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides :
I don't think I need to introduce too much of the fourth sequel of this highly successful pirate franchise, or more famously known as Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). Expect lots of action, thriller and humour, especially from Captain Jack! A MUST for action movie lovers!

2. Kung fu Panda 2:
A very funny and highly acclaimed animation movie. The Panda or Po or Jack Black (actor) will kick your ass in this sequel, in a fun way! It is also starring (voice by) big name actors/actresses like Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Gary Oldman etc..

Everybody like Kung Fu Fighting...Hoo! Hak!

3. X-Men First Class:
Prequel to the X-men franchise that brought us Woverine, Mystique,Magneto etc..it bring us to the younger years of the well known heroes/villain with supernatural power. Another action-packed movie.

Before I part, here is the sharing of my original quote today:

"To move on, you need to see your future as far as possible AND see off your past as fast as possible!"

Cheers!
