Kung Fu Trinity

"The Sword of Heroes! Said to be so sharp you can get cut just by looking at - Ow!"
-Po, Kung Fu Panda

Today our family went to see a movie together: Kung Fu Panda. I wasn't expecting anything really impressive (as Rotten Tomatoes had rated it as mediocre) but I was pleasantly surprised. It was fantastic! If you like Asian movie fare, martial arts, and physical comedy (people in pain makes you snicker), you are almost guaranteed to like this movie. I rate it 4.4 ninja starts out of 5. Seriously, it made me smile, and it had some good psychological/inspirational stuff to make me think (although not too deeply). Here's the trailer if you haven't seen it yet:



On the way home we were discussing the movie. We asked Trinity what she thought.

Trinity: Mommy, you know what? I know I'm good at kung fu!
Jobina: Really, how?
Trinity: When I hit myself it really, really hurts!

Another proud Westman moment. My favorite quote from the movie was near the beginning. Po the Panda (Jack Black) has a dream that he is a martial arts master who rescues a town from some bad guys. After beating them up, some of the locals remark in awe that he is so awesome (and so attractive). They ask how they can repay him:

Po: "There is no charge for awesomeness... or attractiveness."
