The Karate Kid Remake Gets Suckier and Suckier

As if we didn’t hate this movie enough on principle.

Jackie Chan is reportedly in final negotiations to star as Mr. Miyagi in the bad idea jeans remake of The Karate Kid.

He would play the mentor to Jaden “My daddy starred in Independence Day” Smith.

As everyone knows, the part of Mr. Miyagi was legendarily played by Pat Morita in the 1984 original and sequels. He even earned an Oscar nomination he was so dope.

Can we go ahead and just state the obvious here: JACKIE'S NOT EVEN JAPANESE!!!!!!!!

We know the remake is being moved to Beijing but aaarrrgghjghdh#@%#(#(@*&#@#*&*&$^EIIH)*&WD!!!!!!!

There will only ever be ONE Mr. Miyagi and it ain’t Jackie Chan!

Will and Jaden Smith deserve to catch a beatin’ for having the gall to remake The Karate Kid.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

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!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip 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.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

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.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

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!
