The Karate Kid – the Remake

If you’re a child of the 80’s, you probably remember the original movie “The Karate Kid.” Despite the jokes and goofy stereotypes that movie birthed, I’m excited to see this modern day remake. Judging by the preview, it’s still the story of an outcast underdog, and a story of perseverance over bullies. But this time around, the protagonist is played by the charismatic young Jaden Smith. And instead of Mr. Miyagi we have Mr. Han, played by none other than Jackie Chan. There are other varations in store, including a different setting complete with stunning backdrops. “The Karate Kid” is at the top of my list of kid-friendly must-see movies this summer.
