The Kung Fu Kid

The Kung Fu Kid Yesterday arvo, Nat invited us to go see The Kung Fu Kid (yeah yeah I know it's *actually* called The Karate Kid).  Had to convince the sweetie, and I almost didn't see the end of the Twitter conversation and nearly walked home.

So I got to see Nat's new office, then we picked up the sweetie and headed for the cinema.

Got the worst seats ever - right on the side in the front row :(:(  Was pretty uncomfortable.  I think the only other time I've had seats that bad was for Back to the Future III (I think).

Anyways.

I'm not sure that the others were too convinced, but I actually really enjoyed it.  I mean.. it's a remake, so you know generally how it's going to play out, but the execution was still pretty good.  And some of the scenery was just spectacular (some of it - the mountains - I've wanted to see for a long time).  James Horner's score was a nice mix of regular classical with eastern music as well.  Was actually quite surprised by the low ranking it's got on IMDB.

Then we went to Happy's for a late dinner (we felt like Chinese after all heh).

Thanks Nat, was a good night :)
