The companion film, “Secrets of the Furious Five,” is slugged, “The ‘Kung Fu Panda’ story continues.” The film delves into the backstories of the “Kung Fu Panda” characters, with all

KUNG FU PANDA Sequel goes Straight to DVD
Well lookahere,… Paramount Home Entertainment has become some sort of a pioneer. It’s always cool to be the first to firstly do that first thing ever. And then everybody else will try to copy. According to Hollywood reporter, Paramount has announced that it will release KUNG FU PANDA on DVD along with a straight-to-DVD companion movie and will release the package on a Sunday, Nov. 9th, 2008 instead of the traditional Tuesday.

Coke Zero Gives a Taste of New Bond Theme
Nevermind the fact that there’s been so much hype behind the re-tooling of Quantum Solace’s Bond theme song this go-round, that its international debut is relegated to… a Coke Zero commercial- let’s focus on how this advertisement, one focused on an actual cola soda, has little-to-nothing to even do with the product itself. Completely gratuitous. That being said, I’m excited for the flick! Oh yeah, Jack Black (of The White Stripes and the Raconteurs) helmed this theme [the f

Let the Quantum Solace Blitz Begin!
Whether Jack Black liked it or not, his retooling of the James Bond theme song for this winter’s Quantum Solace (collaboratively with Alicia Keys) made its worldwide debut this weekend…. on a commercial for Coke Zero? The commercial’s completely gratuitous and really has nothing to do with Coke at all (although I’m sure Amy Winehouse would say this shit’s a lot more fun to watch while on coke), and I’m really not complaining. I’m excited, and I completely love the

Kung Fu Panda Sequel to be Released on DVD in November!?
Paramount Home Entertainment have announced that a companion film/sequel to Kung Fu Panda will be released on DVD/Blu-ray on November 9th, bundled with the original film as part of a “Pandamonium Double Pack”. The companion film is titled Secrets of the Furious Five. While the slug-line “The Kung Fu Panda story continues” leads you to believe that the film is a sequel, THR reports that the film will delve into the back stories of the characters from the original film, and that Jack B
