^ true, and the people I know those tensions still exist.

in addition to the pc stuff.. common people are more savvy about martial arts every decade, so, they let themselves open to be critiqued on a blatant error. People know the difference between judo, and muay thai, karate, and Jiu-Jitsu etc. I haven't seen the movie, so, maybe they explain it in the context soemwhere. But, if they don't.. they should have known they were going to get called out.

In the movie (which is way better than the original IMO), young Smithy gets relocated in China where he meets Jackie Chan and so on.  It has nothing to do with Karate or Mr Miyagi from Okinawa (incidently, 'Miyagi' is like the name 'Smith' in Okinawa - at least 3 of my friends there share that surname).

So the film is absolutely about China and not Japan and should not be called the 'Karate kid' as that would be insulting to both nations (the Japanese/Okinawans are rather protective of Karate too), it is just that the overriding storyline is the same as TKK.

Alien Nation: Dark Horizon
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109078/

This was on the Horror Channel, and it's fairly obvious why.  They should have put more effort into fixing the background music.

It's a sequel to the TV series, which I rarely watched.  Although it was a made-for-TV film being shown on the Horror Channel, it surprised me and exceeded my (low) expectations.  I wouldn't recommend it to anyone not already a fan of the series, it's not very realistic.

My rating: 4/10

Predators 2010. 8/10

[redlandslide]

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Actually an improvement on the original, Freddy's face actually looked like burn tissue rather than just mangled, the acting and effects are better than the original (a few effects in the original always looked fake even back then and Heather Langenkamp and the actress who played her mother I always found wooden). The story is more or less the same, although some of the killings are different. A good remake.

8.5/10
