Live Fast, Die Young (2008)
Incredible, moving movie
A lot of things have been said about this fantastic movie, and I only hope to add a few praises.
The character who plays 'big Mack' is fantastic as David's best friend and deserves at least a Spirit nomination simply for the scene in the end. While the actress who plays the conniving assistant is great as well. However, it's got to be the agent and studio producer who steal the show with their hilarious Hollywood antics (I felt they were really at a Hollywood party and I would be scared to approach them...)
Great message movie from beginning to end. I truly believe it is a terrific film that will change hearts for God.
Another amazing thing about this movie is definitely the acting. Even if the lack of a big- budget set was not terrific, this movie still would have made my top ten list. I was captivated from beginning to end. If your looking for a typical Hollywood movie with a Hollywood ending, then do not bother spending two hours on this movie. This movie is ahead of it's time, and lands an easy 10 out of 10.
This one is a keeper in my movie library.
The Karate Kid Part III (1989)
Great, underrated film
This is a great follow up to the first one which is as good as this one cause the movie has lots and lots of great fight sequences. If Daniel does one thing he has to do another it's really interesting and the best thing is there's always something happening and you wont be able to lose interest the only bad thing is at the end when they give like a complete preview of the third one which I found to be the worst in the series this movie gets a 10/10 for its ability to captivate you through out the entire movie.
I don't know why this movie got such a bad rap. It is very clever. Might be viewed as confusing but that just shows how well written it was. Thank goodness for the pause button! That way you can think about what you saw & how it was interwoven into the plot.
Love Miagi and Ralph Macchio's characters. Martin Kove does a splendid job as well.
Kudos to the filmmakers for a brilliant Karate Kid series!
