Are people not reading what I'm reading? It seems that the character of Dre knows some Karate. I'm sure in the movie he thinks the Karate he knows is enough to stand up to this bully. The bully, in turn, mocks him before wiping up the floor with him. And from then on, he's probably teased as being that "Karate Kid" from America.

In that case, the title is an ironic one. The Karate Kid. Here's a kid who knows some karate in a land where kung-fu is king. This "karate kid" must learn to mature and that standing up for one's self is not all about fighting.

Again, I think the title is appropriate given this revelation about the plot. Rather brilliant, in fact. Some of you are getting far too upset over this, when in fact everything I'm seeing is pointing to a surprisingly mature movie with some depth and endearment.

I *LOVE* the original trilogy. Yes, ALL 3 movies. Even the the third one has its charms. And yet I can easily see myself loving this new film. It's not dumb-downed or overly kiddy like I had thought it would be when the casting was first annouced. Back then, I thought this was going to to try and cash in on the Shaolin Soccer/Kung-fu Hustle schlock -- which would have been a disaster.

The trailers make me very confident that this is going to be a great movie.

Out of all these, only "M" seems fit for a good remake. I could see that being quite a gripping tale in this day and age, and if done by the right people.

The others are kinda on the "meh" side, especially "Freaks." I would never want to see something with that ridiculous a premise on the big screen again. Sounds like HBO's Carnivale gone horribly, horribly wrong.

It's coming out in March because 300 came out in March. They figure Clash is close enough to that movie, I guess. It certainly did very well at the box office. Watchmen also did very good in that month, so in all respect this is probably the ideal time for this movie.

This is one of the worst, most un-funny skits on SNL. I usually just fast-forward through them with my Tivo. Ugh! Someone in Hollywood needs to be tortured for this.

When playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, I aways thought the story was what Indy IV *should* have been.

I'm afraid that when this movie comes out, it will get ripped for being a watered-down Indy ripoff. Which is a shame, because it's certainly better than the last Indy movie by a long mile.

<p>I liked it better when it was called &quot;The Gunslinger.&quot;</p>

Uh . . . the dude's name is Sidney Poitier. His daughter is Sydney Poitier. First names are spelled different. Where's the confusion?

Great news. I used to read the Solomon Kane stories when I was a kid. And Purefoy is a more than capable actor to portray him, although I imagined someone a lot different for the role. Oh, and minor quibble . . . Mark Anthony was *NEVER* emperor of Rome. Rome was still a Republic at the time. At best he was only ever a co-Consul of the Roman Senate. --Ryodin

It's Julia Ormond. Not Julie. And wow, haven't seen her name pop up in quite some time. I remember when she was Hollywood's go-to woman in the mid-90s whenever they needed someone for a love triangle in a film. Sabrina. First Knight. Legends of the Fall. Always playing the woman coming between brothers or close friends who are almost like brothers. Talk about being type-cast.

No, sorry. None of my information came from Wikipedia. Eveything I said above is common knowledge, so I'm sure it's readily available from many different online sources out there. Also, don't put words in my mouth. I never said I was an "expert" nor expected anyone else to be. But common knowledge *is* common knowledge.
