It Continues…

Today’s post brings us to another Hollywood abomination, this time Dreamworks’ upcoming Kung Fu Panda. It’s an animated feature starring Jack Black as a panda who wants to learn Kung Fu. It does have actual Asians like Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, and James Hong, but really, it’s just another movie equating Asia = martial arts […]
