Panda Plan: The Magical Tribe - Just Like Its Predecessor, Still Not An Entertaining Jackie Chan's Action Comedy

A couple of weeks ago, I saw the trailer to this latest Jackie Chan movie which was going to be released after Chinese New Year. Although it has advanced ticket sale last week, but I opted not to buy them and decided to just do it during the weekend. Anyway yesterday my wife and I went to see it in the cinema nearest to our home. All right then, I'll get right on with the movie.

Brief Story Line

While passing through a remote location, Jackie (Jackie Chan - Unexpected FamilyKung Fu Yoga etc) and his beloved panda friend Huhu somehow got themselves into a hidden place in the mountains inhabited by strange local tribe led by its Chieftain (Ma Li - The Dumpling Queen, Unbeatable You TV series etc). Huhu was mistakenly recognized as divine creature like the tribe's prophecy that she would be able to prevent major catastrophe by going to the mountain top together with a messenger. Jackie who was thought to be the messenger obviously did not want to do the task and tried to get out of the village with Huhu.

Scream 7 - Still As Entertaining As Previous Installment of The Successful Slasher Movie Series

Once again a new slasher movie was released in the theater. As it is one of my favorite horror genre and sequel to the film series that I had seen from beginning, obviously I was interested in seeing this. So yesterday my wife and I went to our favorite cinema to watch it. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell - The Lincoln Lawyer TV series, The Craft etc) had been living a peaceful life in Pine Grove, married with the Police Chief Mark Evans (Joel McHale - Community TV series, Ted etc) and had 3 children, with the oldest already a teenager named Tatum (Isabel May - I Want You Back,1883 TV series etc). Due to her past experience, Sidney was always careful with Tatum's friends especially her boyfriend Ben (Sam Rechner - The Fabelmans, Heartbreak High TV series etc). When Sidney started receiving calls from people claiming to be Ghostface, she did not consider it until the killing really began.
