Real Review - The Fall
June 14, 2008
If your eyeballs could have an orgasm, watching this movie would be the way to achieve it (along with Curse of the Golden Flower, but I digress). Read more
Real Reviews - Kung Fu Panda
June 10, 2008
Sure, the commercials and the trailer are pretty funny, but is the actual movie any good? Oh, yes. Kung Fu Panda is the closest that Dreamworks has managed to get to the quality and feel of a Pixar film, and that’s a good thing.
