Another Movie - The Karate Kid

We went to catch another movie today. A show starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith (son of Will Smith). It is about Jaden Smith known as Dre Parker, who went to China with his mom. Due to language and cultural differences he encounter many problems with the local China boys. Most of the content in the show is only about fighting... and worse yet kids fighting. Watchable show for the adults... but i dont encourage kids viewing. Lots and lots of PG required if children going to be watching this.

Yes, kungfu is healthy. But if not with the right guidance/attitude it will only be destructive.

Heres a trailer

Bollywood movie

Travelling the distance to go downtown to watch a movie is pretty normal for me. However travelling the distance to go watch a Bollywood film is my first! My King is very keen in watching the Bollywood film, Kites. He said that it had very good reviews. Therefore did a little surfing in the net and found that its still screening at Jade cinema in Shaw Towers. So here we go... travelling all the way downtown to watch a Bollywood show!

Jade cinema is one of those cinemas that didnt have any upgrading done. It still have those old worn out chairs that flip upwards when you are not sitting on it. Theres no leg room between yourself and the row in front of you too. As the show has been screening for some time and this is the only cinema thats left screening it... no other choice. I found out that Jade is only screening Bollywood films these days cos all the posters are all Bollywood movies and nothing else. Ticket booth is manned by an Indian lady and snack bar is also manned by an Indian guy. I insisted on a big pack of chips even thou we have just finished dinner (my fav wanton mee.. the one with the fried wanton). After little disorientation at the snack bar... i got my chips and green tea. We headed up to the movie hall. Show was just starting as we entered. I doved into my pack of chips while busy reading subtitles. It is basically a love show about a guy, Jai (Hrithik Roshan) who is looking for his love Natasha (Barbara Mori). Wait a minute... it is not the typical Indian love movie with all the dancing behind the coconut tree that you are visualizing. It is actually pretty interesting with a nice twist. So as i was just getting engross in the show... suddenly i saw this words 'INTERMIMSSION' flashed across the screen and the lights came on. Intermission????

What the hell is that? Never have i watched any shows in my life that have an intermission. But here we are, with a 10minutes intermission/toilet break/smoking break whatever you want to term it. The lights came on and people start getting up to go to the loo, chatting with each other, talking on their mobiles.... wow.

Overall the show is interesting and i would think that for those who likes Bollywood show. This is one show which is worth watching.
