Kung Fu, Panda too! (read it in the way Jack Black would read it.)

last of my movie-review trilogy (done in reverse chronological orders... ha!) for the day.
Synopsis: so now Po's accepted by his fellow peers, the furious five, and respected by his villagers. the only thing is, there's still bad guys just waiting to dominate the whole of China! So, this sequel favours the aggressor in the form of a Peacock (voice casted by Gary Oldman), Lord Shen. And so yada-yada-yada, kung fu pandamonium kicks in in various hilarious forms. A good to watch for kiddies during the school holidays.
RPR: 7.5/10. Personally i liked the way how the script ties in why Po's species are so few in both the show and reality, and some faint links to a Peacock being a royalty vs. a certain dynasty in China.
although we don't get to see the actors and actresses, kinda appreciate the means the movie producers went through to source for all the big names to cast in this series as well too.
P.S.: Oh yeah, and Jean-Claude van Damme, nice choice picking to cast in this movie vs. the Expendables, whatever your reason is / was.

The Greens return in 2011.

well at least this 'Green' franchise looked for a decent-looking male lead.
this movie features the 2nd Green Lantern from Earth (yeah, i did some reading on my own and realised that there are actually 4 Green Lanterns from Earth to boot), Hal Jordan. A playboy and flyboy by reputation, he seems to be intimidated by responsibility rather than any other more daunting things he has in his life to worry about. nevertheless, this story brings about the origins of him taking over the legacy from a dying purple alien Abin Sur. So, Hal (Ryan Reynolds) goes about exploring the responsibility-current lifestyle thing and finally decides to keep the ring and its power for good. Too bad the terms of his employment contract does not state clearly that he's to take on a giant alien lifeform - which even the most powerful and senior Green Lanterns are not able to handle as well - alone.
RPR: 7.5/10 - i've seen better comic-transited-to-big screen productions, but the story's of chewable size and i guess it could be enjoyed by everybody because it does not require extension powers of comprehension to understand it.
kind of like the part this DC comics superhero "parodies" in a way the term about responsibility versus the Tobey Maguire's Spiderman trilogy (not to forget Spidey's from Marvel).

Transformers' big screen finale is...

Synopsis: Finale of the Transformers trilogy, and I'm rather glad the show ended our torment of a big screen reproduction of one of our childhood's best toy franchises.
bascially, the Decepticons banked on a final trump card they always had - and the Autobots did not know better - to regain their status as rulers of a planet (what would you expect of the name 'Decept'-icons). Autobots, being the good guys, naturally fell for this with their human allies and brought back to Earth with them the trump card and war, much to Decepticon's delight. Following which a raging battle between the forces ensues, but not before the draggy parts depicting the Boy-Gal-Relationship between Sam (Shia LaBeouf) and another 'hot babe'.
RPR: 5/10. Gets draggy at parts without building up the storyline. Although the action scenes at the back were good, somehow it pictures Optimus Prime as a horrifying cold-blooded killer. Remember his warcries back in episode 2 when he goes ranting about how Decepticons were worthless junk and all when going about his robot-killing spree? It's really something like what the bad guys would say and do.
also, should Shia LaBeouf be getting bored of acting in shows which requires him to be protraying the one thing he is good at, which are his crazy antics of talking very, very fast i.e. until hyper? He should cut down on his sugar or caffiene intake, whichever's doing this to him.
oh, and a "trivia" thingie; this episode actually stars bigger names like John Malkovich and Patrick Dempsey. But hell the latter's the bad guy, and I like seeing his a*s gets kicked.
