         Great, now we get the onslaught of “Kung Fu <animal>” movies

A friend  saw my review of “Kung Fu Panda” [1] and sent me a link to “Kung Fu
Gecko [2]” (yet another nail in the coffin for Hollywood's creativity). I saw
the trailer for the film, and as my friend  said, “they better hire some
writers if that's the funniest this thing gets.” I can't even figure out what
the film is about.

Not to say that I didn't know what “Kung Fu Panda” was about either from the
one commercial, but just seeing a giant panda [3] and a red panda [4] fight
using chop sticks over some dumplings was enough to make me see the film.

The trailer for “Kung Fu Gecko”?

Let's just say that it makes “The Love Guru” look good [5].
