Karate Kid

Having immigrated from Beijing to the US when I was roughly the age of the boy, I really empathized deeply with the character. Children can be so cruel.

Jackie Chan plays a creepy old dude pretty well. I wasn't entirely convinced by the car scene, but overall I thought the movie did a fair, faithful adaptation of the original.

Iron Man 2

Definitely not as exciting as the first one. Everything about it screamed gratuitous and overplayed. We guessed the driving plot point before even setting foot in the theater. :p

If you like obvious plot lines jazzed up with lots and lots of explosions, it'll be fun times, but don't expect to be intellectually stimulated. :)

Toy Story 3

To summarize: ♥ !!!

I think Pixar did a really nice job with the end-of-life portion of our toys. Okay, so the fire-and-brimstone portion was a bit gratuitous, but overall, I thought the movie was really sweet.

Go see it! :) Go see it with your friends, and bring that ratty old teddy bear you've held onto for too many years out of sheer sentimentality. Don't forget to give it a hug.
