two comics/cartoon related documentaries, kung fu and an action sequel. . . such was my previous week
I Know That Voice (Documentary)
++ This was rather interesting. Going through a variety of voice talents it delved , rather deeply into both the "technical" aspects of their trade, but the "emotional" as well. Fun, informative - rather liked the concept of how they set the particulars of "voicing" a script as if it was a sheet of music - that was pretty cool.
Dear Mr. Watterson (Documentary)
This was more of a love letter TO the creator/artist/writer of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip since Bill Watterson has been, and remains a reclusive who never merchandised his work and kept it in strip form only. Found this rather endearing in format, as both old and new fans paid homage, along with other comic strip artists, including Breathed who did Bloom County/Opus/Outland sharing some of their correspondence that always included artwork to one another.
I found this while searching for the first doc and was rather happy to have stumbled across it. Now I need to pull out one of my Calvin and Hobbes books and reread this fanciful, and at times, philosophical strip who's soul motive was to: Go Exploring.
God Bless You, Mr Watterson - where ever you are
Rise of the Legend (China)
+ While I did enjoy seeing old time great, Sammo playing the villain, this was the usual vengeance faire as the antagonist moles his way into the leading dock gang. Some very decent fights and not so decent wire work but still entertaining all the same.
Jack Reacher; Never Go Back I really would have enjoyed this a WHOLE lot more if they didn't go the fail-safe way of humanizing the character by bringing in a teenage girl for him to protect and care about. This budding franchise REALLY didn't need a liberal dose of saccharine, so early in the game.
Otherwise, I could have fully enjoyed this as I did the original.
The Bastards.
