The first Kung Fu Panda took place in a world that could've been created by preschoolers playing with stuffed animals: a panda, with a goose for a father, and no mother in sight, lives in a small mountain village that somehow supports both his dad's thriving noodle house and a palace full of kung fu warriors. In Kung Fu Panda 2, there's a wider world beyond.
This universe's version of China is still human-free. There's a ruling family of peacocks with a goat soothsayer and wolves for palace guards. Po (voiced by Jack Black) is still the only panda around,

One for the Money
by Shannon and Michael January 31st, 2012 | Action, Comedy, Romance
One for the Money centers around the unemployed Stephanie Plum (Katherine Heigl) who becomes so desperate for money she convinces her cousin, Vinny (Patrick Fischler) to give her a job at his bail bond company. Regardless of Stephanie's lack of experience, she takes on Vinny's biggest bail-jumper, former local cop and murder suspect, Joe Morelli (Jason O'Mara). Coincidentally, Joe also happens to be a romantic interest of Stephanie's from high school.

Joyful Noise
by Ronald A. Rowe January 25th, 2012 | Comedy, Family, Romance
Joyful Noise is an odd movie that defies several conventions of modern film-making. It talks about God far more than a Hollywood film but Jesus far less than a Christian film. A white man comes to the rescue of a black family, something that has been taboo in Hollywood for a generation. A young black woman spurns a black man for a white man. These things just don’t happen in movies anymore.
I’ve spoken to several people who saw it and were deeply disappointed because it wasn’t the Christian movie they thought it would be. Joyful Noise is rated PG-13

When Harry Met Sally
by Michele December 30th, 2011 | Comedy, Romance
When Harry Met Sally is on my list of favorite movies. What's not to like about a romantic comedy that features Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal? Watching their relationship change throughout the decades with a mix of laughs and tears, it is the perfect chick flick.
Harry meets Sally when they graduate from the University of Chicago, and Sally gives Harry a ride to New York City. Like vinegar and water, they don't mix well. The main topic of their drive is whether men and women can be friends. It is determined that a heterosexual friendship is not possible and,

Alvin and the Chipmunks, Chipwrecked
by Sam P. December 27th, 2011 | Animated, Comedy, Family
Now I don't review movies often, but when I do, I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I did not think the movie was that great. There you have it. I thought the movie would be great for little kids, and my prediction rang true. I thought the movie was overstuffed with jokes that make children break their backs with laughter and just make adults groan with laughter.
I, personally, found the movie quite boring. It had all been done before. Yes, there was an age where I, too, was all about the Chipmunks, but I
