The Karate Kid (2010)
Pretty Decent, But Not Phenomenal!
Hello,
I am watching the Karate Kid 2010 remake right now, and while this movie isn't Phenomenal, it's still pretty OK. Unlike the original Karate Kid which had peppiness, priceless one-liners and a bit on the comedy side, this remake shows a more dramatic, serious side. That being said, you can label this movie in two ways: If labeled as a remake of the original, it's nowhere near as good. I mean for a remake it is very good. But very few movies are as good or better than original ones. But now, if not labeled or considered to be a remake, which based on the comedic-dramatic difference between the two can easily be done, this movie is outstanding Jackie Chan plays his role to perfection, and it is Very Nice to see him in a more dramatized, serious role for a change rather than the funny but cheesy comedy roles he has normally played.
Now, I hate to admit it, and while he is definitely no peppy, adrenaline-toned Ralph Macchio, Jaden Smith does a surprisingly wonderful job as Dre Parker, the picked-on kid that needs to be taught not just karate, or kung-fu in this movie, but also manners and better respect towards his Mom. Ole Ralph Macchio aka Daniel Laruso didn't have that disrespectfulness issue.
Summing this up, I gave this movie 8 stars because while the storyline and title consider it and gives it the remake marking, the scenery, seriousness, and dramatics definitely could also warrant it to be an original movie all its own. Thanks for reading!
Six Pack (1982)
Outstanding Movie!!
Hello,
I have sit here now for the past 20 minutes or so, while actually watching Six Pack, and I have written at least 4 different reviews on this movie, but I kept having to delete them and start over because i could just go on and on about how great and timeless this movie was and still is, even today. But after thinking about it over and over, i think I will just say that this movie is indeed a Timeless Classic, with an awesome cast and crew, and especially the little kids, who are just cute as a button (especially Little Harry).
I have come to the conclusion that with all that I can say about this movie, very positive reviews, I have now become almost speechless. So I will give the following review with heart and sincerity:
Watch This Movie!!!! It is funny, fun, and it'll touch your heart!!! But just watch it!! if you have Never seen this movie, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, and you owe yourself an apology! And if you have never seen it, go now; get off your duff and go rent this movie. Or find an internet movie site and rent it from there and watch it. This movie is Timeless, and I almost money-guarantee you that you will want to watch it again and again! I have No Idea why IMDb has given this outstanding movie only 5.2 stars, but it's evident that someone at IMDb doesn't know wonderful movies when they see them. Thanks for reading!!
Cloverfield (2008)
Sad! Sad! Sad!
This movie should have been titled Blair Witch Project On Steroids. This movie had no good plot, nothing to base anything on. And the fact that some big monster knocked down a helicopter, and it crashed, yet two people survived the crash and walked away from it? Come on, give me a break. No wonder this movie didn't last long at the box office. I just wonder if the characters in the movie are joining the cast from the Blair Witch movie in the Bahamas somewhere, and spending the money they got from stupid people who thought this movie was great, on each others' drinks and stuff. I only have three describing words for this movie: Sucky! Sucky! Sucky!
