***NOT A REVIEW OF THE WEEK NOMINEE***

Kung Fu Hustle

As most know I've been into Asian movies since the release of the Kill Bill movies. The previews for this movie didn't do anything for me even though I had heard some good things about it. I believe this is the first "Asian comedy" I've seen and I did enjoy it. The camera work (such as pan shots and certain sequences that were zoomed in) were nicely used. I also like the time period the movie was in (I'm guessing early 20th century. Possibly the 20s or 30s?). The main bad guy did a good job as well but the major flaw that I had with it was the overuse of CGI! Wow, Don Vercetti and I actually agree on something (that too much CGI can ruin a movie) and I think this is the best example I could find. I don't think the comic book movies overuse it but this seemed to. Other than The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, I think this is the movie with the most CGI in it that I've ever seen
