The Karate Kid
In 2010, I went to the movies to see The Karate Kid starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. Now, if you are my age or older, you know this is a remake. There is already a movie called The Karate Kid that was a big hit in the 80's. To the point that they made a trilogy and a random fourth movie. Now, I went to see the movie with open mind. It was such a good remake that I even bought it when it came to DVD. And recently, I finally bought the original trilogy. Comparing movies. Both of them are good. Why? The original has it charms and this one also. It is like the director said. They are two different movies even though they are based in the same theme, same original plot. Kid gets to a new place, likes a girl, gets in trouble, chinese handy man teaches him in a way the character doesn't know he is learning how to defense himself and at the end, wins and gets the respect he deserves. Now, the new movie doesn't show karate, is kung fu. Why not call it The Kung Fu Kid? Well, it wasn't going to catch a lot of attention as it did having the same name of the original one. Funny thing I found while comparing movies, I hated so much Daniel Laruso(the original karate kid character) because he talks WAY too much. But then again, Jaden Smith's character is a brat. XD I loved both mentors, Miyagi and Jackie. They really did a good job posing as this father/mentor type. Something interesting too is how in both movies, they use the same lines in the script but for some reason, it looks different because of the way it was said. Same line, not the same tune. Even though Daniel Laruso learned Karate in three movies, if I put him in a match against Jaden, Jaden's character could kick his ass! That last move replacing the crane for a snake mirror thing, it was incredible. But I still adore that crane move, we all do. I recommend both movies. 4 stars out of 5. Now, watching the trilogy these days, I noticed something. Has anybody notice that Daniel Laruso is a player? I mean, a different girl in each movie and in the last one, the girl has a boyfriend but they did flirt a bit. And funny, all girls leave him. XD Poor guy. The movie I'm missing right now since I haven't been able to find it, is called The Next Karate Kid, which is the hidden fourth movie of the trilogy but instead of a boy learning karate is a girl. The movie didn't catch that much attention, I guess people thought that girls learning how to kick your butt is not hot but thanks to that, it has been a bit difficult for me to find the movie and buy it. Moving on.
The Social Network
OMG!!!!!!!! That was my reaction while watching the movie. I didn't get a chance to watch it in the big screen but I got the DVD this week. I'm a geek. I admit it. I think programming is hot even though I didn't study that. The movie is more than just about how Facebook was created. Is about loyalty, betrayal, friendship, love, money, twins, sexy asian girl, zombie land dude, justin timberlake doing as the guy from NAPSTER (irony), etc. I had such a good time watching it. For some reason, the protagonist, the character, the way he talked about everything, the passion he had about creating this website that turned into a whole sensation of... so fucking hot! Geeky girl turning on. XD But it was the character, not the actor. XD The Social Network is a masterpiece on many levels. It is one of those movies that will have the rare appeal to a wide audience, and still be deep enough to satisfy even the most intense film critics. There really are no flaws in the movie. Maybe the subject material will not appeal to you, and maybe you are so familiar with the real events that the slightly bastardized version of events will turn you off, but the movie can very honestly be called art.
Even after watching the events, and even knowing where the movie diverged from truth, it is an interesting story, as well as being well told. Something that I was laughing is that the main character has this blog and writes something that haunts him when he was being sued. I wonder if my blog will bite me in the ass too. XD. 4 stars out of 5. Moving on.
Music
Let's talk about Willow Smith.
A friend of mine showed me this video called "I Whip My Hair" , telling me to see the daughter of Will Smith. I was surprised of how alike she looks like her dad. It's like seeing a tiny Will with a long wig. And I'm not insulting because I think Will Smith is charming. Even though the song only says a million times "I whip my hair back and forth", the song is catchy. It is one of those songs where it is good to party on with it. But you might end up with a headache. XD Anyway, she is an upcoming talent and I think that having such a great music background, she will make it big so keep whipping that hair! :D
Let's talk about Justin Bieber.
*sigh* I'm not a fan but not a hater. Even though he is such a big hit with teens, I haven't taken the time to listen to his stuff. I do love the video that he gets hit with a water bottle. I think it is hilarious but then again, it could had been anybody getting hit with a water bottle and I was going to laugh anyway, even if it did happen to me. Maybe laugh and insult. XD Anyway, he has a song called "Never Say Never" featuring Jaden Smith and it is the official song for The Karate Kid remake movie. I think it is another catchy tune but at least it is with meaning. As in, a good song to sing to kids to give their best while practicing in sports or anything they want to have success in it. Or even to us. Okay. The song applies to any human or non-human being who is trying and trying and should never stop trying to reach their goal. Never say never of losing weight, getting an A in an exam, returning to school, getting a job, falling in love, winning a tournament, etc. It applies to anything. Fight for your dreams, don't let anybody squash you or bring you down, raise that head up high and show them who is the best. Show them you are worth. Like Kate Perry says, "Baby, you are firework" That is another song you should sing to yourself everyday. "Firework" by Kate Perry.
Let's talk about Kesha.
Lol. She is so dirty XD but that is what brings everybody's attention. Like Lady Gaga. Do something weird and different, you will probably have more attention than doing something normal. I saw two different videos of "Take It Off". Both videos are good but we are not going to talk about the video, it is the song. The best to describe it is saying this is crazy. But that is why so many people like it. Everybody gets a little freaky. It is a party song, let's drink, let's dance, let's take our clothes, let's not care, let's go wild, let's go nuts, etc. Yeah,ooooohh crazy but doesn't most songs that have a techno bit make you jump and dance randomly? Live life a little. TAKE IT ALL OFF! :D
Let's talk about Bruno Mars.
He has this song with a video of a simple amazing effect of a cassette making things called "Just The Way You Are". What I love about this song is that the lyrics are so simple and explain how we act when we are in love. We think the one we like or love is perfect the way they are because what we truly love is how they treat us so we see the outside of the person as the most amazing thing ever. The person could have crooked teeth but speaks so gentle that you think it doesn't matter. In the lyrics, he says, "Her Laugh, her laugh, she hates it but I think it's so sexy." How many people hate their voice, their belly, their hair, etc and their partner or friend think it is the most wonderful thing ever? Everybody is amazing just the way they are. Unless it is something that is affecting your health then you should change it.
CATS
Update of Skittles:
I have a cat since May 2010. She was born in March 1, 2010 and finally last Saturday, she learned the mating call. I was a bit worried that she didn't do anything for a long time so close of being one year old already and I was starting to think she was a weird cat but she did it. At first, it was cute and then it got annoying. But finally, since yesterday, the mating call is over. No more calling the boy kitties to the yard and raising her butt.
Period
I'm currently in my period which makes me be vegetable and emotional for a whole week. Which brings to my monthy question... WHY ON EARTH HAVEN'T PEOPLE CREATED A DAMN PILL THAT ACTUALLY WORKS? Because I follow the whole diet of not eating certain things that cause pain and this, that and still, the same damn pain of not being able to walk. This problem of menstrual pain has been since women are in this world so how come the solution doesn't exist? It is sad to know that the only solution medics give is, "get operated but you lose the chance of having a kid."
