So here's the thing about the karate kid, HE DOES KARATE. But no, instead of letting the franchise die it's honorable death, Hollywood decides to make another movie with the title except as a twist change everything about it, the Mr. Miyagi (may he rest in peace), the wax on-wax off, the karate. Just when I finally regained enough faith that maybe the movie industry today isn't too shit they have once again proved me it wasn't necessary. Oh I also just found out that the MTV movie awards is a joke, how Colonel Hans Landa doesn't win best villain will only make sense when I finally suffer from dementia.
This weekend I saw Mar adentro which I thought was pretty amazing! For those who have not seen it, it's about a man fighting for his right to death but as we know in many places -including Spain euthanasia is illegal. I personally have no problem with it, I think a person should be able to decide how he wants to live his life and if it means ending it, then by all means. But at the same time, I can relate to the reaction of the people around him, I mean, I can say that I would do it any day but if I had to actually do it, I think I might have a moment of hesitation. Who wouldn't? Anyway, the acting was great by practically all parties, the cinematography was great and the story inspiring, I just hope that his effort is not made to waste today.
I really do hope the indie film industry lives on... in the meantime, I think I might watch The Karate Kid I-III (the real one). All the while the world is worrying over Israel and BP. I hear the something called the World Cup has started? Whaaat.
