As it has with tons of movie bloggers, I have remained confused and confounded over the fact that this year’s The Karate Kid remake is stubbornly holding onto its classic, audience-dumbing down friendly title, especially – as sites such as Nuke the Fridge have wisely pointed out – the movie’s latest trailer makes a very [...]

Toy Story 3 is coming this summer. Also this summer: my long road to maturity takes several steps backwards. »
