Well after having a nice date ( I hope!!) I was able to see the 2010 version of The Karate Kid. Starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith in the roles of Mr. Han and Dre Parker respectively and directed by Harald Zwart, The Karate Kid is a mixed bag. I honestly wasn't surprised that this film was remade for a younger audience. The original Karate Kid came out in 1984 and was seemingly lost to the new generation of movie goers; it was only a matter of time before Hollywood sank its fangs into this one to drain the sweet nectar from within. Is the Karate Kid remake worth a shot or will this film fall into the cracks of badly made remakes?
This is the last 3 sections of our 2 hour long podcast. These portions are over E3 and a few things we personally are looking forward to. Listen to the Vegas portions first if anyone is interested to listening to them in order. Sometimes the audio is a little off due to some microphone issues, but please sit back and enjoy! As usual this will be on both RWR and Quarter Up!
Released in 2009 The Fourth Kind, directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and starring Milla Jovovich, is the tale of psychiatrist Dr Abigail Tyler and her encounter with alien life, or lack there of, in the Alaskan town of Nome. Unfortunately for this film, incoherent plot elements, poor acting and a general feel of dissatisfaction leave this movie below average.
In a post apocalyptic future a man and his son fight to survive in a dying world. After an unnamed cataclysmic event destroys most of the life on Earth, the few humans left resort to any means necessary to survive. Cannibalism, murder, stealing, and those that wish to continue to preserve humanity are all that await those that travel The Road.
Well with the wait until we are able to put out the Iron Man 2 podcast, I figured I would give you guys a nice look at a movie that went unnoticed. Don't let the goofy name fool you as I did, The Chumscrubber is a decent film that touches on themes that aren't too deep but can get you thinking. I initially thought this film would be some sort of Donnie Darko rehash but The Chumscrubber, while it does have some of that flavor, surprised me and taught me two lessons. Do not judge a movie by its title and give any movie a shot, you may learn something.
This is our first podcast, the audio is a little off due to some technical problems. These podcasts WILL improve and once I get the rest of my software up, will be edited properly. Unfortunately this podcast was not edited but its not a big deal. I hope you enjoy it, Happy Mothers Day! Oh and also, SPOILER WARNING.....you know!
Considering I did Street Fighter: Beginning's End, I felt it was appropriate to do the other major fan film release, Street Fighter Legacy.
This Street Fighter fan film directed by Joey Ansah and Owen Trevor follows along the same lines as Beginning's End but without any real story. Starring Jon Foo as Ryu and Christian Howard as very convincing Ken, Legacy falls short where Beginning's End succeeded.
This isn't something I would normally write about, but I felt it deserved a mention. Street Fighter: Beginning's End directed by Christopher C. Cowan is a fan made Street Fighter film featuring Brendon Huor as Ryu and Shaun Charney as Ken. The premise is simple, yet effective, through great fight choreography that almost tells a story of its own. The setting is short and to the point, just before Ryu leaves to compete in the first World Warrior Tournament (Street Fighter 1) him and Ken have one last match...
