Show HILLTOP TIMES TIME From page 7 your clock," it's game over. Period. Done. Will meets a guy (the pretty boy from "White Collar") who has more than a century left on his clock, but is tired of living. So he wills Will his remaining time and checks out. Now that Will has all of the time in the world, he slips into the rich part of town, where the high rollers frolic, but Will sticks out like a poor, sore thumb. A rich heiress, Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried), is drawn to this new bad boy because either he smells of desperation — or maybe it's Justin's signature fragrance, "Play Intense," a whimsical mix of citrus and tropical. So he slaps on a James Bond tux, buys a futuristic Jaguar E-Type for a mere 58 years and goes trolling for more time — not for himself (although the fancy Jag suggests otherwise), but for the unfortunate masses back in the 'hood, you know, the 99 percenters. So this becomes "Robin Hood" meets "Bonnie and Clyde," with a hint of "Time Bandits" and a dash of "Logan's Run" — all of which are infinitely better than this film. Where does "In Time" make its wrong turn? Well, there is literally a wrongturn moment. You'll recognize it by the lovely silver convertible spin- ' Feb. 2, 2012 So this becomes "Robin Hood" meets "Bonnie and Clyde," with a hint of "Time Bandits" and a dash of "Logan's Run" all of which are infinitely better than this film. ning like a top into the Los Angeles River basin, which is apparently only used in movies, but where both occupants escape miraculously unscathed. Really? The other silliness comes in the actual transfer of time. The process is accomplished by people either clasping arms or by a metallic device placed over the wrist. The most ridiculous spot comes in a fight to the death, featuring two men clasping arms and grimacing. Wow, such violence. The movement of time appears to have something to do with telepathy and watching the glowy, green arm counters go up or down (hint: down is bad). I haven't even mentioned the unflappable timekeeper/cop (Cillian Murphy), who was the most mysterious and interesting part of the movie — until suddenly he wasn't. Plain and simple, "In Time" is 109 minutes spent in futility.

PANDA Mantis (Seth Rogen), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Crane (David Cross) and Viper (Lucy Liu). And don't forget Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), who is desperate to secure "inner peace" despite Po's best efforts to ruin it. I'm becoming less and less a fan of animated 3-D. It darkens the screen lighting dramatically. Frankly, I'd rather have the brightness than an extra dimension, to the point where I'm starting to feel like I'm wearing welding goggles at the movies. Enough with the 3-D already! It's becoming a cheap ploy to fleece moviegoers for an extra few bucks, and I don't like it. "Kung Fu Panda 2" works well enough without it. It's a funnier, more creative, heartfelt experience than the original and I'm pleasantly surprised to be able to recommend it wholeheartedly. If you liked the first Panda, you'll love this one. Steve Salles can be reached at films@standard.net . From page 7 But Lord Shen also holds the key to Po's past. You didn't think he was really the son of a goose, did ya? All is nicely explained, giving Po's character much more depth, but also an appreciation for what his "father," Mr. Ping (James Hong), has done for him all these years at the noodle cafe. We see glimpses of Po as a baby panda, whose parents are forced to make a decision that will allow Po to survive. He ended up behind Mr. Ping's noodle house for a reason, and it wasn't just because Po was eating his parents out of house and home. There's something about the plumage on Lord Shen that sends shock waves down Po's spine. Hopefully, he will figure it out before Shen grows too powerful to stop.
