In the movie, Karate Kid (which, BTW, was just released on Netflix), Dre Parker(Jaden Smith) and his mom move to China, Bejing to be exact, since Dre's mom was transferred there for her job. Every thing's perfect, right? WRONG! Not after Dre gets into a fight, over a girl he had met, at the park! After that, there was nothing but trouble! Well, until the maintenance man, Mr. Hahn (Jackie Chan), teaches him the arts of Kung Fu. At first, he did not understand the ways Mr. Hahn was teaching him. Just as he is willing to throw in the towel and forget about it all.... it sinks in. Everything comes together and he understands and feels the true power of self control, techniqueche and how it ties into life, his life. He finds an inner strength which helps him deal with his newly found living situation, new friends and seeming enemies. This movie has good laughs, awesome Kung Fu action, a tiny bit of kid-romance and a great message. Overall, ALL thumbs up! : as Siskel and Ebert would say :)
PS: Jaden is .... well, blushing, fantastic in this roll. Though i thought it was a bit odd that people wanted to touch his hair. Wonder if people keep asking him to touch his hair.. after this movie. I suppose so, after all, he is a Smith and that family rocks.. on all stages. Grinning....
also, talking about hair: the 'girlfriend' in this movies who studies very hard and all the time, please note, has a funky hair-do. I thought those hair cuts were for famous people and animation characters. Actually, the young lady really rocked that hair cut. Not bad at all. Hmmmmm: did that possibly start a new trend?
.. I whip my hair back and forth .. I whip my hair b..... LOL... the Smiths.. awesome I tell you.
ReesesPieces OUT.. ;)
