The Princess and the Frog

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG - Kawai's Xmas gift pick. Disney affirmative action movie focusing on New Orleans instead of those lazy Hawaiians (LILO AND STITCH). Wasn't bad. Wasn't good either. At times, I felt like I was sitting and watching my Wifey play ball against all them Hickam Amazon sistahs, and all their husbands were cheering them on and speaking in a language unfamiliar to most non-Blacks. I felt like I was at a family barbecue...in POETIC JUSTICE. Hilarious stuff. Nah, in all seriousness, the movie was okay and had its moments, but I don't know how kids enjoyed it very much. Definitely, an original, more colorful (sorry) take on the original fairy tale story. Whatever you think this fairy tale should look like, just visualize it in a swamp with Lil' Wayne rapping, and you have this movie. Gotta give Disney credit for swinging for the fences on this one...

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: THE SQUEAKQUEL - Better than the above movie only because it made us laugh more. Felt like I've seen this before. Let me see...THREE STOOGES? No. Let me think...oh, I know. Reminds me of that one show where that bitchy blonde girl was left with 8 rugrats 'cause their Korean daddy needed to diddle the plastic surgeon's daughter. Aaden, Joel, and Collin. Yeah, that's it. What always amazes me is that no matter how irritating their voices are, the three-part harmony is perfect. My parents used to play the Chipmunks' Christmas album every year. Don't ask me why. I miss those days. This was Kahia's Xmas pick, so they both already used up their personalized Xmas coupons made by their hot, creative mommy. In the movie, they also introduced this new, all-girl chipmunk group called "Chippendales" or something like that. Trying to pile on the cutesy, I guess. Worked for Kahia. I think he was checking them out...


More movies coming. I know you can't wait...
