Karate Kid 2010

I wonder how this movie will fare now that Mr. Miyagi is no longer in the picture. I don't mind that the film company decided to get Jackie Chan to replace Mr. Miyagi but did they stop and think that Karate is a martial arts that came from Japan. How can it be that the title is Karate Kid and what is being taught by Jackie Chan in the movie is "real Kung-Fu". See the contrast.
Anyway, Jaden Smith looks really great and he seem to fit the role of  being Jackie Chan's student.  He's really taking in his father's footsteps.

I just hope that this movie will live up to the expectations of many especially those that followed all the Karate Kid movies in the past.

Killers

Directed by Robert Luketic (Director of 21 and Ugly Truth)

Released Date : June 4, 2010

Cast: Ashton Kutcher as Spencer Aimes
         Katherine Heigl as Jen Kornfeldt

Synopsis:
Spencer Aimes (Kutcher) is just your average, undercover, government-hired super-assassin accustomed to a life of exotic European locales, flashy sports cars and even flashier women. But when he meets Jen Kornfeldt (Heigl), a beautiful, fun-loving computer tech recovering from a bad break-up, he finds true love...and happily trades international intrigue for domestic bliss. Three years later, Spencer and Jen are still enjoying a picture-perfect marriage - that is, until the morning after Spencer's 30th birthday. That's when Spencer and Jen learn he's the target of a multi-million dollar hit. Even worse, the hired killers have been stalking the happy couple for years, and could be anyone: friends, neighbors, the grocery store clerk, even that crabby old guy shuffling across the street. Now Spencer and Jen are on the run for their lives. As their suburban paradise turns into a paranoid game of dodge-the-bullet, they must find out who wants Spencer dead and why, all the while trying to save their marriage, manage his in-laws, keep up neighborly appearances ... and just plain survive. Written by Lionsgate



I love Ashton Kutcher and his cute goofy looks. Although I am not sure if this movie is suited for him because of the action stuff (I still see Ashton as that guy who laughs out loud) and I'm not really a fan of Katherine Heigl. But this movie reminds of me Mr. and Mrs. Smith, only that the Mrs. in this movie is not an assassin.

I'm not really excited to watch this movie but I would want to watch it someday when I feel like watching some rom-com movies. Anyway, here's the trailer for Killers.
