This isn't your typical remake. It isn't a bunch of new actors and actresses playing the same characters with the same names like the majority of remakes. It follows the same story line loosely - boy gets beat up, boy meets man who teaches him king fu, boy has to fight in match against bullies to redeem himself. So on and so forth.
But there is not the wax on wax off scenes. No painting the fence, etc. There are other things that he does that are mundane that he hates at the beginning of training but I was happy that they were not the same things. That there was some creativity in the portrayal. Jaden Smith did a great job in the movie as did Jackie Chan. All in all this movie was significantly better than I would expect as most remakes are pretty awful. For example Death at a Funeral (see my last post) Psycho (which was just horrendous) and Halloween 2 (Rob Zombie should be ashamed). I digress..... watch Karate Kid - that's my point.
Enjoy...

Death at a Funeral - Don't Bother
Posted by Jessica at 7:57 PM // Labels: Don't bother
Some Spoilers....
Ok so this movie is pretty much useless. It's full of family fighting and awkward moments - i.e. the dad's lover is a gay little person who wants the family's money. Mind you there are amusing aspects - such as James Marsden's character high out of his mind on some drug he didn't know he took (he thought it was something else). THAT was pretty hilarious throughout the movie. All in all it is full of Chris Rock type humor. So I mean it is basically a pointless comedy with awkward aspects and plenty of language. If that's your thing I guess you should watch it ;) To each their own...
Hope you enjoy if you do decide to watch it but don't expect too much LOL

Prince of Persia - Watch it!
Posted by Jessica at 12:27 PM // Labels: Watch it
No Spoilers....
While my husband had reservations about Jake Gyllenhaal being able to pull of this movie he actually thought he did a good job. I would have to agree. The film has some great fight scenes. The "sands of time" parts (you'll get what I mean when you watch it) are done really well with special effects. The movie all in all was very good. Gemma Arterton did a great job as the princess also. All in all I would say watch it for sure! This should be one that you ladies can watch with your significant others and both be happy :)
ENJOY!

Letters to Juliet - Watch It -- (Chick Flick)
Posted by Jessica at 10:53 AM // Labels: chick flick, Watch it
No Spoilers...
OK so I'm sure this is rather obvious but this is a chick flick. But I'm rather sure there are no men that would read this review. Fair warning ladies I am quite sure there is not much of a chance that your significant other will much appreciate this flick. With that said it is a good chick flick :) So indulge in a little time alone or have a ladies night and check it out. It was a cute movie!!

Resident Evil: Afterlife (3-D IMAX) - WATCH IT!
Posted by Jessica at 2:14 PM // Labels: Watch it
No Spoilers.....
THIS MOVIE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you liked the others you NEED to watch this one my husband and I agree that is the best out of the four of them. Who knows maybe they will make another great one - I will continue to watch them as long as Mila Jovavich is in them.
This movie was AMAZING in Imax 3-D - it will definitely be one that I will buy when it comes out anyways - you don't have to watch it in 3-D to enjoy it by any means. There are new mutant T virus gross additions - always fun. New characters to love and hate and just and all around great sci-fi zombie-esque thrill ride. WATCH THIS MOVIE!
You won't regret it unless of course you hate these kinds of movies then obviously it would be dumb to watch it ;)

The movie is pretty obvious from the title - the kid is a wimp and he is picked on all the time even at home by his older brother...
So basically this movie follows him and his friend and some other wimps through school for the year. It really cute if you have younger children I bet they would enjoy it too :)

First off I say maybe simply because it is not the most exciting movie in the world. So if you are looking to be thrilled look elsewhere in the watch it area of the blog for example. This is not amazing like Inception or incredibly darling like Up or anything. It is basically about a couple that pretends to be married and pretends the two kids are theirs and their whole goal is to make these rich people buy merchandise. Like this is there job. it's rather odd. However if you are like me and have seen a million movies it is worth a watch :)
