Jackie Chan's next American movie is The Spy Next Door, according to Hollywood Reporter. It's pretty much The Pacifier, which Jackie backed out of and became a surprise hit for Vin Diesel. I guess he's hoping that lightning will strike twice.

...ramento. It's been a while - about 16 years. I've always felt more at home in Sacramento where I can watch the Kings on TV without paying $180 for NBA League Pass, or maybe even get season tickets since Arco's only 5 minutes away from where I plan to stay. There are also lots of parks within walking distance with plenty of courts. I also like the blossoming Asian community - Pho is best in Sacramento, no offense to San Jose or the Bay Area (or anywhere else).

7/10	Movie:	WALL-E (2008)
6/10	Movie:	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)
8/10	Movie:	The Dark Knight (2008)

Wall E - A cute, love story - with robots and lots of bubbly people.

Hellboy II - The fight scenes were well choreographed, but otherwise, it's just a little bit better than the first. The problem is everything seems too easy for Hellboy. He's too laid back. It needed some suspense.

The Dark Knight - I liked it a lot more than the first one. I was one of those who thought the first one needed a little bit more bang - a bit more Michael Bay, yeah, I know, that's blesphamous. I went into it knowing that it's a long movie, but I thought it was well-paced. The twist and turns were good - not something you usually find in a comic book movie.

8/10	Movie:	The Incredible Hulk (2008)
7/10	Movie:	Kung Fu Panda (2008)

The Incredible Hulk is pretty much what I wanted in a Hulk movie. I didn't think Ang Lee's version was that bad either, but I did feel like he went a bit too artsy fartsy. This version is lean, mean, and action-packed. Not as good as Iron Man, but a solid popcorn movie.

Kung Fu Panda was colorful, full of cute animals, and pleasant. It was amusing, but I didn't laugh out on any of the jokes. It's a pretty harmless kids movie, and better some of the recent Dreamworks animated features. I was hoping for more of Jackie Chan (who voices the monkey), but he only had like 3-4 lines.
