Some Knowledge

The Forbidden Kingdom is a new kung fu movie starring Jet Li and Jackie Chan.  It is set for release on April 18, 2008.

The plot of this movie seems to revolve around a teenage boy who is transported back through time by the workings of a magic sword.  The boy finds himself in ancient China in the middle of a war for control of the kingdom.  He is taught kung fu by The Drunken Immortal, Chan, and The Silent Monk, Li.  He must defeat the Jade Warlord and the White Witch to save the kingdom.

You can watch trailers for the movie at the above link.  There is a lot of atmosphere and special effects in this movie from what they show in the trailer.  It’s been a while since I’ve gone to the movies and seen a flick on the big screen.  I may check this one out when it is released next month.
