Johnny’s Can of Whoop-Ass

The Karate Kid – How bad was Johnny, really?

by Zac on May 01, 2010 in Movies

It’s all about the kids As I have shared before, one of the joys of parenting, in my opinion, is exposing my children to movies from my childhood and watching to see if they are filled with the same joy and wonder that I experienced as a child.  It’s self-serving and silly, but mostly harmless [...]

by Zac on Oct 11, 2009 in Celebrity, Movies
