The Karate Kid 1984

★★★★ Watched by Chad Kohalyk 24 May 2021

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Watched this with my 12yo and 9yo girls... and it actually holds up pretty well! I was surprised. Pat Morita is a comic genius. So may quotable and funny lines beyond the ones everyone knows "Wax on! Wax off!" I was surprised how they included Manzanar — very impressive. Now I want to see the second one to see if they include the Battle of Okinawa.
Flight of the Navigator 1986

Pretty much worked the same on my kids 30+ years later. Although my 11 year old was suspicious of NASA: “Don’t trust them! Those guys faked the moon landing!” 🤣

Godzilla: King of the Monsters 2019

★★½ Watched by Chad Kohalyk 08 Jun 2019

It was late and I didn’t sleep well the night before... but I can’t lie: I nodded off a couple of times. But it’s fine! I don’t think any plot happened. Anyways, there are some epic scenes, and a few good lines, some big monster fights... and a lot of confusing other crap. What do you expect?
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 2015

★★★★ Watched by Chad Kohalyk 18 Jan 2016

Beautiful sets, groovy music, great quips and excellent editing. The plot has some holes you could drive 2 side-by-side-e-brake-drifting-1960-Trabants through, but there are enough entertaining bits to make this a fun a ride. I really hope this gets a sequel.
