Karate Kid 2010 Trailer – Fans Must See
In case you haven’t figured it out, I am very much a fan of the Karate Kid movies (minus #4). I saw the first one many, many years ago and still watch it if I can catch it on the TV. The soundtrack, dialog and of course, Mr. Miyagi is all priceless to this day.
So, today I get on Youtube and I see the trailer for the newest one starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. I have heard rumors about the movie, but this is the first time I see the trailer. 3 words! I AM PUMPED! I see there might be a could of rip-offs from the original, but I think I will still see the movie only because I am a fan of Karate Kid AND Jackie Chan.
Take a look at the trailer and tell me what you think!
The Proposal Movie Reviewed in Short
I really like romantic comedies as a genre. The latest one that I have seen is The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. As you already know from the previews, Sandra plays the bitchy boss type at a publishing company and it Ryan is her secretary executive assistant. He is gunning for a promotion and she is gunning to step on people everywhere she goes.
Sandra’s character (Margaret) has little feelings for anyone but herself, just like the typical bitchy boss type. Ryan’s character (Andrew) knows how to please her and gets all the crap from her and takes it in stride. When she finds out that she is going to deported, to Canada, because her paperwork was denied, she pulls a nasty little trick on Andrew. She quickly comes up with a plan to get married to Andrew and he only learns of this right at the moment she is telling her bosses this.
As you can probably tell, things get really insane from here. From the INS agent that wants to make sure they are NOT trying to defraud the process to the nutty “Gamy” played perfectly by Betty White. Andrew’s father, played by Craig T Nelson, doesn’t approve of his life in New York and you quickly see that he wants Andrew to take over the family businesses in Alaska. When Andrew says he does NOT want to do so and is happy as a writer/editor, his dad does not take things well.
Needless to say, the “scam” wedding starts to turn into an actual romance and nobody can really tell. Andrew and Margaret get closer when they spend the weekend in Alaska for Gamy’s birthday. In an “all of a sudden” moment the parents want the two to get married THAT weekend at the house. Things get stressful as the family gets prepared for the wedding coming in less than 24 hours.
It gets interesting at this point and I am not going to write any spoilers at this point. I liked it, rated it 4 stars on Facebook Flixster and A+ on Yahoo Movies. A couple of my favorite parts were when “Oscar” from The Office is playing multiple roles, including male dancer, store manager and he is the one marrying the couple. He does a great job. The other funniest part was “the baby maker” blanket than Gamy puts on the bed the couple will “share”. There are ups and downs but in the end I felt good about my relationship and it was a nice “date type movie” in my opinion!
What did you think of The Proposal? I would love to read your comments below!
Any More Good Movies Coming this Summer?
I have had a pretty fun at the movie theater this year. I just recently saw the 3rd installment of the Mummy series and Step Brothers in the same weekend.
I haven’t been to a Friday night show in a while, I am really too cheap to pay full price, but this time I wanted to treat my lady friend to a night out 
The movie was ok, but I really hated the fact that the woman is a different actress and the boy is already 20 something. I am not saying she was a bad choice, it’s just that I hate to see characters change in a trilogy, no matter what it’s about. The fact that Brendan Fraser didn’t age, but his child from the last movie is now 20 something, bothered me a bit too. Jet Li played an awesome part and over all the movie was good enough for me to see on a Friday night.
Step Brothers on the other hand was something different. I recommend this movie to anyone AND everyone! Will Ferrell is just awesome and everything he writes is just amazing. If you can picture a movie with 2 40 year olds that act like 5 year olds THE WHOLE TIME. They don’t break character until later in the movie and I think that was just amazing. Funny crap, stupid jokes and bad sex scenes make the movie even better. If you have a minute, you go check this one out!
