New Show -- Xiaolin Chronicles

Wow, it's almost the end of August already! Time flies pretty fast, doesn't it?

Well, I just wanted to catch you all up on some exciting news:
If you remember the old tv show Xiaolin Showdown, then you will want to watch the new series -- Xiaolin Chronicles. The show premieres tomorrow night on Disney XD (Monday at 8:30pm EST).

I've decided to review the 3 new episodes, so stick around for the next few days and I should have them posted.

The only facts that I know right now:

• The Shen Gong Wu (the mystical objects) have been renamed due to copyrights
• The voice actors have changed due to the production location (Canada) laws
• Also due to copyrights, the character designs have changed slightly
• There are at least 2 new characters

Here's a commercial preview to tide you over ^^

Strange Movie Findings #2

I'm going to take a look at the Disney-Pixar movie, The Incredibles.
I really wish I could find a clip of this strange moment... Guess you'll have to go watch through the movie yourselves!

Anyway, the Parr family is currently being chased by the bad guys (which seems to happen a lot throughout this movie). Then we move to a scene of a few henchmen relaxing in a covered van, tracking the family's every move. One of the henchmen comes up with the brilliant idea of -- wait for it -- a drinking game! And I quote, "Every time they run, we take a shot."

*facepalm*

Hold up there! I thought this was a kid-friendly movie? Well, it was the first couple times I saw it as a kid. Way to throw that adult joke in there Pixar! I really hope no little kids ask their parents about it later...

I just have mixed feelings about this. While the adults find the drinking game joke humorous, is it really right for a family film? The first time I heard "we take a shot," I literally hung my mouth open in disbelief. Did I really just hear what I heard? Yep, and I checked the subtitles. I couldn't make up my mind whether to laugh or not. Some snickering may have escaped, if any. It honestly took me by surprise because I wasn't expecting someone to talk about drinking to someone else in a dangerous situation.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie -- especially Jack-Jack. Who wouldn't want a spontaneously combustible child? Never underestimate the power of a baby!

I feel sorry for those henchmen!

I'm Back!

Did you miss me? ;)

Anyway, I did finish A Very Potter Senior Year. As always, you never want the play to end because it's so hilarious! Unfortunately, the Potter Play Trilogy has come to an end; although, it would be awesome to see them write a spin-off with the next generation of wizards...

I then found a video preview on StarKid's next production called Twisted. The play is going to be the untold story of Jafar from Disney's Aladdin, probably with a setup like Wicked vs. The Wizard of Oz. It seems like an interesting concept, so I'd love to see the finished product. Can't wait!
