Some should never have been made in the first place, thus a remake/reboot would be adding insult to injury.

From Justin to Kelly is a classic, and The tooth fairy is an instant classic!

the karate kid...too late.

with time on my hand on saturday evening, again thanks father time, i had nothing better to do than watch nothing to loose.  this movie was an ill-fated attempt to remake (or at least parallel) the karate kid.  the updated version replaces karate with mma fighting.  again, it has it's ali, it's mr. miyagi, it's johnny and of course it's daniel.   nevertheless, it wasn't the same without "wax on...wax off".

as i did some research...i see in the upcoming year a remake titled "the karate kid" with  jackie chan will be heading to theaters.
