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.

Push (the movie) Review – Seriously?

Push-movie

Sometimes I wonder who reads the scripts.  

Push was ok.  Sometimes exciting.  Too many plot holes.  And one horrible ending.  It is almost like they ran out of money and decided to call it quits.  

This movie is maybe a Redbox, maybe a free one.  Don't go out of your way to see it.  And don't expect it to make much sense.

Don’t see Where the Wild Things Are – my review

Where-wild-things-are

Terrible.  

Seriously, this surprised me.  You see I like movies.  A lot.  I can usually find something that I like about a movie.

Nope.  Not this time. 

I would not recommend this at all.  I usually rank movies as theater, dollar theater, redbox, or free.  But this time is DONT WATCH.

I found the plot non existant.  There was no moral lessons.  The pace dragged.  The dialogue dragged worse.  There were a couple of cute moments that made me smile, and even one or two that made me laugh but overall, the movie flopped.  I was worried about turning a 15 page children's book into a full length movie and it happened.  

Some critics call it an "honest look at childhood", or "refreshingly free from commodity film components" but I just call it weird.  You could argue it was art and it doesn't have to make sense but art is at least pleasing to look at.  The film location was dry and colorless.  Lots of shadows, dark branches and rocks.  The only cool thing was the technical achievement of making the monsters face portray emotion but one technical achievement doesn't carry a film. (unless your Avatar and your technical achievement is going to change film)
