Kung Fu Panda: Defies Expectations
Before seeing Kung Fu Panda, I guessed the plot went something like this: A big dopey Jack Black-voiced panda bear dreams of becoming a kung fu fighter but has to reach deep within himself to find the courage to do so. In the process, the naysayers that surround said panda will learn a little something about judging a book by its cover. And it turns out, this is basically the case.
Gwyneth Promotes Whilst Mark Parties With Diddy In Cannes
The premieres, press conferences and parties continued in full force at Cannes yesterday.
