Wreck-It Ralph Movie Review

     Wreck-It Ralph was the 2012 animated comedy from Walt Disney in which a video game villain gets sick of his role in his game as the bad guy and wants to be a hero.  So, he sets off on an adventure in the other games of the arcade to try to earn his medal, and finally become a hero.  Along his way he meets Vanellope von Schweetz, a glitchy young girl who is ostracized by the characters in her game.  Ralph then decides to help Vanellope to earn her place in her game, and to find acceptance.  
     It was a really great movie filled with humor, video game references, and many cameos by classic video game characters.  The stellar voice cast, led by John C. Reilly, and Sarah Silverman, do a fantastic job of bringing life, and hilarity to the characters, and drive the story of this sweet, funny film with a terrific message.  Wreck-It Ralph is a great family film that I would recommend to anyone.  Do yourself a favor and check this film out tonight!

Karate Kid Tribute

     I think Karate Kid started the entire comedy action flick movie genre.  The scene where Mr Myagi is drunk and singing and taking a sledgehammer to that car is a hilarious and classic scene.  Wax on wax off?  Forget about it. 
     Pat Morita's Mr. Miyagi was lovable, believable, and hilarious.  Karate Kid actually has a lot of comedy to it despite it's story of Daniel-Son moving into a new town and having a run in with the local Blond, stuck up yuppie karate guy gang leader from the Cobra-Kai school.  Daniel-Son makes the mistake of flirting with the bad ass, karate stud, gang leaders girlfriend, and gets himself nearly beaten to death before being saved by his new apartments maintenance man.  This meeting begins a friendship and a mission to train Daniel-Son to win the Karate tournament against the preppy white boy gang from Cobra-Kai and regain his honor.
