Karate Kid

The classic is back..."Wax on...Wax Off" but how's the new version of Karate Kid like? First of all, I think the title is inappropriate. Each martial art is given a different and unique name. Regardless of it being Japanese, Chinese or Korean, all martial arts are named differently so as to be distinguishable. However, this new movie starring Jackie Chan was about Chinese Martial art, also widely known as Kung Fu. So, conclusion is that they used the wrong name for the wrong martial art.

The story line is similar to the classics. Discipline is the moral of the story. To know or having the knowledge to fight is not about showing off. Rather, it is to self-defense and to learn the basics of discipline. Therefore, it does not conclude on how well you know your martial art but how well you know the meaning of martial arts.

I wouldn't watch this movie in the theaters, but I wouldn't mind borrowing DVDs and watch it at home.

オリジナルバージョンとにてる。ただ、今回は空手ではなく中国のコンフーです。内容的にはおなじかな？
キャストーはもちろんオリジナルバージョンと違う。ジェキー・チャン　とウィル・スミスの息子ジェーデン・スミスが先生と生徒の役です。
映画のロケーションは中国です。
この映画には評論しずらいなーだってこの映画が伝いたいことは、武士道っていうのは、自分の能力や才能を自慢することではなく、自己防衛の為。わざわざ映画館で見る必要はないかな？

Knight and Day

An alternative version of Mr. and Mrs Smith?! That's right! This recently released movie "Knight and Day" acted by Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz is a must watch (at least for me). The storyline has similarities with Mission Impossible as well as Mr. and Mrs Smith.

I have to say though, I really like how the combination of comedy, romance and action are all combined together. Although a simple story, it is all the action behind it that drives audiences' interest.

But wow! The pairing of these two was really a very daring yet fresh idea. Tom still has the vibe and Cameron still has the charm! The ending was just great! Just as I was expecting...fun!

別バージョンのミスター＆ミセス　スミス？！トム・クルーズ　と　カメロン・ディアズ　は新鮮なコンビですね！
映画の物語は簡単だけど、最高に面白い（＾＾）。
内容的はなんとなくミショーンイムポブルとにてる。ただキャストが違うだけ？
アクション＋コメディー＋ロマンスのコンビは上手に混ざっています。
時間があれば是非見てください！

Sex and The City 2

Calling all girls! SATC is back in town! However, I am quite on-the-fence about this movie. Although people say that nothing is impossible, but what are the odds to meet your former boyfriend in the middle of a dessert?!

Starting with the regular and fun scenes, it was really nice to see how the four girl friends are getting on with their life. Though nothing much have change, besides Charlotte's daughters are getting bigger, Miranda is as career minded as ever but with a hint of motherly-ness towards her son, Samantha as flirtatious as ever and lastly, Carrie, as in love...with man and shoes as ever!

The story line generally is entertaining. Not so much of "how real is that?", but it gives us a glimpse of how fortunate and lucky women lead their life in New York City. Bear in mind everyone, this story is fictitious and does not apply to everyone who lives in the U.S.!

This movie is not as bad as what the reviews criticized (on movie reviews), but I would say SATC the original movie was better. Maybe I am a realist but I think the story line in part 1 is more generalizable in our regular non-celeb life.

If you need something to do but not sure what to do, go watch this movie. It is entertaining and it serves as a "time-off" from you hectic life.

ＳＡＴＣ　パート２は面白かったけど、現実にはありえない物語です。
でも、一つ、彼女達の友情本当に尊敬するわ！どう自分の人生歩んでも、友の存在を忘れず、付き合いは続く。
アラブ方面の旅行は以上に贅沢だと思います！私にとって最後のシーンは一番面白かったかな？アラブ女性の衣装は皆同じ。自分の顔や肌は自分の旦那さんや家族以外の人には見せられないんです。
でも、驚きなのは、その黒いローブの下に、まさかセクシーなお洋服を着ていた！　これは現実です！

あと。。。砂漠の国に元彼にばったり会うチャンスってありえますか？！このシーンはちょっと現実向きじゃないね。

面白い映画だが、わざわざ映画館で見る必要はないかも知りませんね。
