Saw "Kung Fu Panda" over the weekend. There were funny moments but overall thought it was only so-so. I wouldn't recommend seeing it unless you are bored.
Went to the Five Cent Driftwood House restaurant in NeiHu afterward.

Five Cent Driftwood House is the fifth creation of Hsieh Li-Shian who didn't even use a blueprint for her restaurants. The result? Really bizarre looking, massive restaurants around Taiwan made out of scraps of iron, driftwood, clay and stone, and an abstract sculpture of two Tao Aborigine girls dancing. There is a pretty cool winding entrance to the restaurant. Naturally, the restaurant is filled with her artworks. In fact, all the bowls are handmade. We were seated at the bottom level right next to the artificial pond with fishes swimming. Aside from the artwork, the food was pretty good actually (Taiwanese food). I especially like the beef and tomato stew with vermicelli (sorry, can't remember the official name). Prices per entree range from $200-500 NTD (~$6-16 USD). Definitely worth checking out, if not for the food then for the artwork.
Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera so...I'll borrow the pictures from another site:

That looks like a pretty cool restaurant. Taiwan always has such crazy restaurants. But I bet you don't have NINJA restaurant:
