Movie Rating
Easy-going martial arts Jackie Chan/Owen Wilson (and Lucy Liu) film, with Chan portraying the party of a Chinese Forbidden City Imperial Guard soldier who travels to the Wild West of America to rescue the kidnapped Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu), and falls in with outlaw Roy O'Bannon (Wilson) along the way.

As a Jackie Chan film, you pretty much know what to expect: lots of martial arts slapstick in his own inimitable style (and pidgin English, which is still a lot better than my non-existent Chinese!) and a few 'that's a terrible name for a cowboy' puns along the way!

Adam Raccoon loves to swim and could do it all day, but there is one pool he longs to swim in most of all. King Aren has forbidden swimming in it since it is the pool right above Forever Falls. But a quick dip can’t hurt, right?

This picture book is a wonderful allegory about our need for salvation. No, it’s not exactly subtle, but it’s a parable, it’s not supposed to be. But it tells a fun story along the way, and the wonderful illustrations will keep kids interested.
