Hair talk and a Sugary product review & Movie Time

Part 1




Part 2







Movie Time (not to be confused with Turtle time RHNY)- NOT A SPOILER

Actor, Ralph Macchi, is best know as Danny- the KARATE Kid. I don't know about you but I have watched all 3 Karate Kid movies in my lifetime and I enjoyed them all. I even watched the not so impressive "The Next Karate Kid" which featured Hilary Swank. So when I heard that yet another Karate Kid movie would hit the market I wasn't sure what to expect. Some people were critical saying that the Karate Kid movie is a classic and shouldn't be touched. Ralph Macchi supporters (all 5 of them) seemed to agree that the Danny character is set in stone and should never be touched again. The picture to the left is one example of what I found online.

I even heard that Ralph himself wasn't too sure about his feelings regarding this next KK installment.While I agree that the Karate Kid is a classic movie I had to see how they would revise this old movie. I went to the theater on Friday night and here are my thoughts........

To Ralph Macchi I say, in the words of Omarion- "YOU JUST GOT SERVED". Yes, Jaden Smith IS the Karate Kid, he didn't just breathe new life into the KK franchise, I may go as far as to say he IS the franchise. Aside from his impressive Karate skills which he has been perfecting since the age of 3, he is a good actor. I think he totally has the crying scenes down way better than his daddy, who has been at this craft for quite some time now ( but that's another story). Ralph Macchi was not a karate kid in real life which is probably why his ending surprise kick in KK1 was no more than a modern day Tae Bo front exercise kick. Fast forward to 2010 and we have little Jaden Smith who was able to put his years of real karate training to work.

Those Smith parents were smart to start the new KK series at a time when Jaden is still young and will grow into this character. I would say they could pump about at least another 2-3 maybe even 4 more KK movies staring Jaden Smith. The story line was not too far from the original but it was different enough that you would remain entertained. Taraji of course played her part well along with Jackie Chan.
I'm not going to spoil the movie for those of you who have yet to see it but I will say that there wasn't a dull point in the film.
Side note- my theater was packed with people from all backgrounds and age groups which was good to see. I know that older ones familiar with the original movie were eager to see this film, little girls certainly packed the theater to get a glimpse of Jaden's cute face, martial artists will certainly enjoy each fight sequence and overall adults will like it too. If you support this film, I doubt you will be disappointed.
Ralph Macchi can always say that he was the original Karate Kid, but Jaden Smith clearly sits atop his theatrical thrown as the new and dare I say the BEST Karate Kid......

Hair, Skin, Electronics and Random chatter

I hate being away from all of you for so long :-). I will get to all of the comments that I have not responded to yet, I am very sorry for the delay!!!!
Let's jump right into things-first up is a video where I talk about hair products, nail polish and a mini haul. Next up I talk about electronics, and facial products.

Video #2

In The Theater
As I'm sure you know, Queen Latifah's latest flick, "Just Wright" opens in theaters today. Will you be checking it out? I know for a certainty that I am heading to the theater tonight to support this film.







On the Tube

I know I've never spoken of this show on my blog before but LOST is coming to an end. Lost is the most riveting series I think I've ever watched on tv. It has held my interest from season 1 and the episodes just get better as more information is revealed. Oh and when they killed off my Sayid......WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Where has Ben been? I've lost track of him and I can't remember the last time I saw him on the island.
Any of you watching lost? How do you think it will all end?
A Family Business
Brandy and Ray J are siblings and the love is apparent but the divisive behavior of Momma Norwood is also clearly seen. She favors Ray J and she may not recognize how obvious her favoritism is....sigh. Ok going back one episode -when the stripper arrived at Ray's office the mother was so mad that Bandy and her dad however she wasn't upset with Ray J for allowing his friends to engage in such shenanigans at his place of business.


Even though Brandy at times has a strained relationship with her mother I didn't appreciate the mom not showing up to Brandy's performance because she was still upset over strippergate 2010. As I see it, if you are going to be both mom (can't change that) and manager, then when it comes to business you need to be there for your client even if you are upset with your daughter. The father loves to say he won't get between the two of them but he will listen to both sides. To that I say MAN UP, this is YOUR family too, you are not just an innocent unrelated bystander so speak up and do what needs to be done!
I also think that Brandy's friend Shay, needs to stay out of family affairs. She was asking Brandy if she thought it was time to separate the mom/manager role by finding another manager. In the end they are still a family and Shay you are NOT my dear. I can see that Brandy will always side with family and I totally understand that, so Shay needs to stay in her lane and just hear Brandy out when she vents. Did you notice how quickly Ray checked Shay when she tried to tell him about his inappropriate behavior...LOL.
What do you think of Bran Nu? Brandy as a rapper isn't something that I necessarily saw coming but I think she did a good job and her makeup was great when she performed at the House of Blues.


On a completely different note what is going on with Timberland's figure? He wears these t- shirts with his arms exposed and it looks like he lifts weights. Does he think the public believes those lumpy curves are muscles? I think NO Timbo. Any while we're on the subject Dark Child had on some ill fitting hip huggers when he attended the office party. When he walked away from the camera you saw his fluffy sections oozing out of his pants.....LOL.


What Chilli Wants


A little baby hair to the side never killed anyone but Chilli enough is enough. Moving on-

Chilli's quest to find a man stopped briefly last week as she went to see a therapist. She revealed a portion of her private life when she confessed that she had an abortion which she seems to regret. She then spoke about Usher and the fact that there were certain things she couldn't live with so the relationship had to end.
She takes her son out on dates so that she can groom him to be a great date when he enters that stage of his life. She told him not to "smack" while he was eating- did you catch that she too had some mouth wide open scenes while eating? Well I guess you want your kids to learn and do better so whatever.....

Nothing too exciting happened this episode.

Basketball Chicks on the side Wives
In the last episode the women revealed to Royce all that Gloria had said about her in an attempt to make Royce realize that Gloria is not a friend. Can we have the lady Suzie, (I think her names is) write down whatever she wants to say and then someone else can read it because her speech impediment is giving me a headache.
Are you watching this show?

Tiny and Toya

I hear that Tiny and Toya will not return for another season because TI doesn't want Tiny to move forward with the show? Did you hear this too? Perhaps it's just a rumor.
The Joneses

The kids went to LA with their mom to pursue their separate dreams- the son wants to be a singer while the daughter wants to be an actress. I will not talk about the children on this blog, so I will just move on in silence, but you all can read my thoughts right??? Ok good. lol
