There is no question that the Karate Kid remake starring Will Smith’s son Jaden and Jackie Chan is an absolutely retched idea.

But what does the OG Karate Kid, the only real star of the series, Daniel Larusso himself, Ralph Macchio think?

He thinks it’s great that the fans of the film, like us, are up in arms over this blasphemy.

Nepotism is alive and well in Hollywood.

Of course, that’s never been a shock but when nepotism mixes with an outrageously bad idea for a remake, that’s when we get up in arms.

Will Smith’s son Jaden is set to star in an upcoming remake of The Karate Kid.

As in “wax on, wax off.” WHY ARE THEY REMAKING A CLASSIC!?!?!?!?

And with a TEN YEAR OLD????

Oh. My. God.

Ralph Macchio! The Karate Kid!!!

We need a bag to breathe into. And he’s standing next to baseball legend and Hall of Famer, Hank Aaron!!! Are we in heaven? Is this who greets you at the pearly gates and then teaches you to wax on-wax off and slug homers?

There’s only one force of nature so great that these two titans could be brought together.

No, not Oprah…Miley Cyrus.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
