Watched Karate Kid I & II last night on AMC. Even though I remembered III being terrible I watched about 15 minutes of it before turning it off, as it was even worse than my kid-self remembers.

The thing I took away after watching these again is ... where the fuck are the police and children's services while all this is going on? High school kids are beating the crap out of each other. Adults are beating the crap out of high school kids. Kreese is choking the [Mark May] out of Johnny at the beginning of III in the parking lot of the Valley Y in front of 30 witnesses and nobody presses charges? Daniel's mom basically abandons him, letting a 50 year old strange man raise her only child while she leaves the city for extended absences, including not seeing her son off to college. Miyagi and Daniel travel to Okinawa together despite knowing each other for all of seven or eight months. Heck, even Century 21 leased commercial property to Daniel, who paid in cash and forged Mr Miyagi's name on the lease! :lol:

Yeah yeah. After his experiences risking his own life to save a child in a typhoon, almost seeing his girlfriend get her throat slit, and fighting someone to the death, he's gung-ho about defending his All-Valley under 18 title against a ringer that doesn't even live in the resident county and has appeared in national magazines as a rising semi-pro. Because honor!

Didn't she watch him get the fuck beat out of him saving her dumb ass from Sato's d-bag just to bail on him and go to dance school in Hawaii or something? Bitch.

Wife and I took in Revenant Saturday night. Good flick if you like a lot of violence. My big problem was the ending.

The State of Jones previewed; due out in summer. Matthew McConaughey plays a confederate soldier from Mississippi who becomes disenchanted with fighting to allow rich men to keep their slaves. He deserts and goes back to Jones County where he leads a rebellion against the rebels. Looks fantastic - and since I love civil war history, I'm in.

The Revenant. I can't quite say that I liked it; not because I disliked it, but because it just wasn't that type of thing. It's the first movie that I can remember feeling like it was experienced rather than just watched. It was like if the D-Day scene in Saving Private Ryan lasted 2 1/2 hours. I'd like to see it again and try to "watch" it because I couldn't appreciate the settings, cinematography, acting, etc. the first time through. I've seen the word intense used in just about every review and, of course, that's right, but it's also too easy. The additional word I'd use is enveloping.

Ruby Sparks

Pretty unique take on a reclusive writer's dream girl, brought to life. Simultaneously fun and heavy, light and dark, an interesting look into the heart of infatuation and love. There are flaws but overall it's an enjoyable and fresh movie.

Rotten reviews (that I find fitting):
Sometimes it's worth surrendering to cinematic enchantments, and Ruby Sparks makes a pretty good case for its own magic.

Ruby Sparks flirts with preciousness and has less fun with its premise than it could have, but that's because it's actually a gently touching metaphorical drama about the real essence of love.

Ruby Sparks is an honest, entertaining, and insightful picture that, despite a
very 'filmy' happy ending
, offers up an amusingly frank deconstruction of the 'dream girl' idea that pervades much modern fiction.

Kazan the writer asks a lot of Kazan the actress, putting her through an emotional wringer while also calling upon her to convincingly traverse a path from happiness to humiliation without missing a beat. She seldom disappoints.
