Movie of the Week: Monsters, Inc.

As I recall, Monsters, Inc. was the first Pixar film that had me going “You know, they seem to have a knack for this. When are they actually going to make a mediocre flick?”

Still wondering.

And so, farewell to Kung Fu Panda – which I briefly misremembered as being a Pixar flick. Which is, of course, a massive compliment to its makers.

Movie of the Week: Kung Fu Panda.

Kung Fu Panda could have been horrible.  In fact, it could have been fairly expected to be horrible.  However, the directors decided that since they in fact liked kung fu movies, they should play it straight and make an actual kung fu movie… with pandas in it.  So they made one.   And It Did Not Suck.

Neither did Buffy The Vampire Slayer – Collector’s Set – yes, I’m aware that there’s a bad pun there – but it’s time for it to go now.
