| Kung Fu Panda | PG |  |
| Animated | sequences of martial arts action | |
| In the lush, colorful Valley of Peace, Po (Jack Black), a portly and lazy panda, compelled by dreams of ''awesomeness and attractiveness,'' wants to be a kung fu warrior. Po's every line seems infused with a comforting combination of attitude and wily wide-eyed playfulness; his clumsy movement and facial expressions are hilarious. And when he gets his kung fu groove, it's a sight to see. While the movie's underlying can-do spirit and reassuring never-quit ethos are inspiring, some of the battles may nonetheless be too intense for very young children. (C.O.) 1 hour, 28 minutes. | ||
| Pineapple Express | R | |
| Drama | pervasive language, drug use, sexual references and violence | |
| A stoner (Seth Rogen) who bought a rare strain of marijuana becomes witness to a murder, and he's afraid the pot he dropped at the scene will connect the killer to him and his dealer. For a movie where the gags are mostly delivered through a waft of weed smoke, and blood and bullets are just as liberally sprayed throughout, this comedy shows how absurd and hazardous action-movie tropes are when you apply them to the real world. (C.D.L.) | ||
| Tropic Thunder | R |  |
| Comedy | pervasive language including sexual references, violent content and drug material | |
| What turns this movie into a must-see is Robert Downey Jr.'s performance as an intensely Method actor who slaps on some new skin pigment to play an African-American sergeant. Downey plays the role with equal parts ridiculousness and reverence. His performance is the most continuously rewarding joke in a cartoonishly broad satire on Hollywood excess. Ben Stiller co-wrote and co-stars in this comedy about a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie who are forced to become soldiers. The cast also includes Jack Black, Tom Cruise and Nick Nolte. (C.D.L.) 1 hour, 47 minutes. | ||
| WALL-E | G | |
| Animated | ||
| Pixar's latest is about a lonely little robot WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) centuries after humans have disappeared from Earth. This digitally brilliant tale presents an almost surreal and occasionally dark look at the future. Voices of Ben Burtt, Elisssa Knight, Jeff Garlin, Fred Willard, John Ratzenberger, Sigourney Weaver, Kathy Najimy. (C.O.) 1 hour, 38 minutes. | ||
