'The A-Team' Vs 'The Karate Kid' This Week

It's a neck to neck race to capture the no.1 spot this week as 'The A-Team' and 'The Karate Kid' opens simultaneously to win the hearts of the old school fans. Are you gonna watch both it or just either one?? I do hope both of these movies will going to bring good reviews. Those childhood memories for the A-Team TV series and the first Karate Kid movie shown last time still stick in my head though. Please don't disappoint me. LOL! - Ibrahem.S

The Karate Kid
Copyright © 2010 Columbia Pictures (Sony)

In Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
