With
Nancy Goodall’s stern-as-silver composure
one could scarcely believe her to be capable of horrible acts she
inflicted
upon herself on the night of April 14th of this
year. She calls it
“The day I lost my mind” as she sits in the loft of
her eloquently decorated
two-story suburban manner. Nancy
sits
cross-legged over-looking the dense and endless tree tops of Rochester,
North Carolina.
She is wearing a beige pantsuit with a tea cup in one hand and its
matching
saucer pinched between the thumb and forefinger of her left hand, the
only two
remaining fingers after the surgery that saved her from bleeding to
death. (Would

NOW SHOWING IN OUR FILM SECTION!
Brainipulation is all about tantalizing your thought bubbles through a
variety of mediums. If you're a fan of stage productions and want to
perform plays which have never been done before than Eric Jones is the
man you should be talking to. Both plays shown here were written for
the 2006 and 2008
'24
Hour Plays' Festival in Milledgeville and
performed by the Georgia College & State University Theatre
Department. They represent a talent for on-demand theatre and
production that you can't find anywhere else.
"A
chance for writers to really see their work being done in a matter of
twenty four hours is a fantastic experience, with all of the intensity
of live theatre being magnified about fifty times."
-GCSU English Department Chair, David Muschell-
KUNG - FU PANDA
raises the bar for McDonald's Happy Meal toys!
"Feel the Thundaaaaaa!!!!"
Ha, ha, ha, yes it’s only me,
but I can’t stop saying it. The lovable Jack Black has done
it again with his
merry band of hilarious quotables in Kung-Fu
Panda. This is another crafting by the company that brought
you Madagascar and Shrek, and
if you know anything about them it’s not
the movie that counts. It’s
the advertising!
This outing
totes the kind of star power that you love to have when lifting off a
power
house summertime hit like Kung-Fu Panda;
Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Lucy Liu, and Jackie Chan to name a
few. And
although they’re used to almost no effect in the actual film
they draw a great
crowd. Expect to hear Jack Black pushing Burger King Kids Meals, video
games,
and Facebook applications for the next few months. Believe me, you
haven’t
experienced Kung-Fu Panda until
you’ve experienced the massive multiplayer online game that
you can find on
their incredibly beautiful and content-rich site, http://www.kungfupanda.com/.
Oh yeah,
and there’s a movie too! It’s the centerpiece of
their Summertime Blockbuster
push, and a zesty main course of family fun. The adult humor takes a
mild
backseat to some clever animated violence and the film avoids all of
the
egotistical pitfalls that the Shrek sequels
fell victim to. Still, there isn’t anything of lasting value
here (except the
revenue, Cha-ching!). The computer animation is a little aged at this
point and
is about as effective here as cartoons were in the 90’s, and
the story is the
standard fish-out-of-water, chase-your-dreams-no-matter-what combo that
children’s films have been hoisting since the time of Peter
Rabbit. Only this
time it’s with kung-fu and a panda! Fun, fun, fun, soft
drink, fun!
