My 13-year-old son is crazy to see this movie, coming to theaters this Friday, April 18, 2008. I think it looks pretty good, too, even if I’m having weird flashbacks to the lame Heroes storyline last season.
Jason Williams’ (Michael Angarano - he played Will Stronghold in Sky High) obsession with kung fu movies leads him to an antique store where he finds an ancient Chinese staff.
