Jet Li. Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan and Jet Li! For many people that is all that is needed to elicit a "wow, I need to see that." Beyond star power, the film is a riveting success. This is a kung-fu film with a healthy sense of humor, an epic story and amazing visual imagery. Some people will object to Michael Angarano's character, they will say, the film doesn't need a white lead to keep the audience engaged. That is true, but Angarano plays the role well and the character adds substance to the story. The cultural conflict from thrusting a boy from Boston into ancient China reflects the conflict between his kung-fu masters. His personal growth helps carry the heroes journey through China. This layering of themes works well.

Did I mention that we get to see Jackie Chan and Jet Li spar!?!

I got to see a preview of this movie and I consider my self very lucky. I will go see this film again on opening day!

5 Gifts for an Abundant Life (Book)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and have enjoyed putting the principles to work. Early in the book, it seemed like ever time I would experience a limiting thought, my eyes would fall on the word "Detach," in some part of her writing. "Okay," I thought, "I can do this!" Now, when I start to feel my old fears, I think to myself, "DETACH!!!" I have had this book for about a week and have already seen a great deal of abundance in action in my life. I am deeply grateful to Ms. Harmony for reminding me that there are no limits to what I can believe or achieve and for showing me how to tap into the loving Source of supply. I highly recommend this book to readers who are interested in learning more about applying abundance to their lives.
