Maybe if a mod could just remove the "what was the last movie you watched "part and leave the rest?![]()

We watched A-Team last knight.
Very great Action sequences, we laughed all the times. This one is definitely worth checking out 7.5/10 stars
Knight and Day - 2010
watched this cuz i was bored. i don't hate either tom cruise or cameron diaz. really wish cameron would go back to her 1994 the mask look. that's the only time she's ever looked good. as for tom being in this it seems kinda redundant or expected. if ur in the mood for a mission impossiblesque type film (sorta) this will kinda tide u over. there's a little action and random gun spray and that's about it. sleeping potions, batteries and sunglasses. 4/10

The Karate Kid - 2010
first off let me say i wasn't expecting to like this film at all. second thing i'd like to say is it wasn't all that bad. while i don't think jaden was a good choice i do think he did well in the role. i mean, this is supposed to be a remake of the original, right? going from the 23 year old italian to the 12 year old african kid just didn't work well with me. i thought jackie did a good job. there's little to no comedy involved here and that's ok. it's mostly pure drama and pulled off well.
the movie sorta follows in the footsteps of the original minus the setting. this time instead of staying in the states he moves overseas, and one other very important aspect that was changed completely. i can see how the sequel will start off just like the originals sequel for those awaiting more smith family tree.
for those wanting a remake that doesn't completely destroy it's original taste (too much) this is an ok watch. worth a 2nd watch? not for a couple years i suppose. corn rolls, angry asians and snake charmers. 6.5/10

Prince of Persia. Thought it was 2 hours of my life that just drained away.
Pure rubbish as the acting was so bad I kept cringing.
Looking forward to the A Team.
Pretty much totally agree with everything you said.
Except to placate father Will's nepotism and maybe better appeal to the kid market it made absolutely no sense to have a 12 year in that role as it sort of defeats the whole purpose of the "boy becomes a man" thing.
What I found unbelievable ( besides the "need' to have JG attempt an English accent ) was how shitty the ending was.
I mean I don't know if you remember the original Sands of Time game on which the movie is more or less based but the ending to it was utterly brilliant .Ten years later I still remember and look back fondly at it .Doubt very much ten years from now that I will be saying the same thing about the movie.![]()
