It was an amazing movie.  Great ending, great action, great plot, great acting.  I loved it.  

I especially liked the creating part.  So cool.  

Bourne mixed with the Matrix.

Karate Kid Movie Review – see it if you like “problem, train, fight” movies.

Karate_kid_2010_review

I liked it.  It follows the classic storyline.  

Boy has problems.  Boy finds mentor.  
Mentor is unwilling.  Boy finds love.  
Boy gets more problems.  Mentor trains boy.  
Boy wins back love.  Boy beats enemies down.  

Jaden Smith is a good kid actor, and Jackie Chan is himself.  

I kind of missed hearing the classic lines in English.  Somehow “Sweep the leg.” in Chinese wasn’t as sinister.  

But I liked it.  I might even take a nephew to see it in theaters.  Definitely Redbox it.

Step Up: 3D – trailer. sick. watch it.

Make sure you watch this in 720hd. Just sayin.

So I was skeptical of the first Step Up.  It was ok.  I was skeptical of the 2nd Step Up.  It was ok.  I was skeptical of the 3rd Step Up.  And it looks crazy.  While the dancing improved dramatically from the first to the second movies, the 3rd looks like its bringing the house.  The trailer had the water dancing, tron like neon suits, dust dancing, formal, street, whatever.  I just hope they don't ruin it with cheesy special effects.  I am beginning to trust Jon Chu, a little as a director.  After what he has done with the LXD, I hope Step Up: 3D is a good movie. 

Terminator Salvation – doesn’t work

Media_httpimgskitchco_bgcyo

Terminator Salvation could have been a good movie.  But it was not.  

In fact, there were so many plot holes and logical jumps that I had a hard time even enjoying it.  

Sure there were lots of explosions and gun shots, and giant robots.  But these things do not a good movie make.

I would like to just ask the writer a couple of questions.

1. How come the robots don't listen in to the Resistance broadcasting exactly when and where they will attack?
2. Why don't the robots just look for fires? They have thermal sensors, and last time I checked robots don't need fires.  
3. Why isn't anyone curious? I mean if I was the only human alive in the whole city and some guy shows up, shouldn't you ask him "Where are you from?"  "How do you think you became half machine?" "What are you trying to do?"

In the end I think Terminator Salvation is a Redboxer.  Get it from RedBox, but only when everything else is checked out.
