The Karate Kid.

My kids have been nagging to see "The Karate kid" since the first trailer was shown on TV weeks ago. The minute i saw Jackie Chan was in it i decided we had to go see it!

Today was the day we finally went, I say finally but it was only released here 4 days ago.

I was very intrigued to see how Jaden Smith would be as an actor, as bad as this will make me sound I was wondering if he got the part because of his high profile father (Will Smith) or his own acting skills. I am very glad to report it is the latter, he is a brilliant little actor, he will definitely be giving his dad a run for his money as he gets older.

The film was great and took nothing away from the original. In my opinion it surpasses the original in its kung fu and spirit. We get to see some breathtaking views of China, including the Forbidden City and The Great Wall of China.
Overall "The Karate Kid" gets five out of five stars from me

Unfortunately when we got back home my boys, who are 8 years old (twins) decided they wanted to try out the cool kung fu moves on each other. So I have a feeling im going to be doing a lot of telling off over the next couple of days.


You can visit the movie's website here > The Karate Kid

Reading Challenge

As I have said before (and any of you who know me will know) I'm a HUGE bookworm.

I love the Good Reads website, they also have a cool iPhone app too (it's free too) Anyway on Good Reads I recently joined the Paranormal Romance group, because I read alot of PNR books. On the discussion boards there there is this cool person "Yz the Whyz" that sets monthly Challenges for Book addicts like me. Here is July's challenge:
This time we will be doing one that I call The Challenge of Time and Place.


Challenge Duration: July 1, 2010 - July 31, 2010

Settings, including both the time element and location, are as important in the makings of a good story as great characters and well-though out plot line.

Of Time:

1. Read a book that is set in the past (historical).
2. Read a book that is set in the present (contemporary).
3. Read a book that is set in the future (futuristic).
4. Read a book that involves time-travel.
5. Read a book that was popular on the year that you were born.
    A good source for #5 is Good Reads or Fantastic Fiction
6. Read a book that is set in a major city (urban)
7. Read a book that is set in a rural setting, small town or country.
8. Read a book that is set in space or off-planet.
9. Read a book that happens in a place that is completely created by the author's imagination or a place that cannot be found in a current world map. (fantasy).
10. Read a book set in the city, state or country you currently lived in, or a place, city, state or country you have visited.
But no reading before July 1st. books close July 31st.

This really looks like a challenge and a half especially since its my first challenge attempt, but I am gonna give it a go. Did I mention just to make things harder, 7 out of the 10 books you choose have to be Paranormal Romance?

I'll post my list as soon as I get it together, I think its gonna take a little bit of research. So stay tuned!

Does anyone fancy joining me on this challenge?

TrueBlood Season 3

Since we only have to wait for less then 24 hours for the next season of TrueBlood, I have decided to do a special TrueBlood based post. Plus the fact that i'm a huge fan of the show and would love any excuse to drool over Eric Northman (played by Alexander Skarsgard).

The following Video is a sum up of TrueBlood up to date narrated by Lafayette in just under five minutes. If you've seen the previous seasons its a good way to refresh your minds before watching the first episode of Season 3, which airs on HBO @9pm EST June 13, or if your are new to the show and don't fancy watching the first two seasons it's a great way to get upto date on the show.
But if u haven't seen it and plan on watching the two seasons before you sit to watch season 3 it does contain **SPOILERS** for seasons 1 & 2.





Now that you are upto date and ready for Season 3, here is the full Season 3 Trailer



You can also watch both of these video's on HBO's YouTube channel by clicking Here

Enjoy The Next season of TrueBlood. I know I will! :)

A sad farewell to David Tennent

I have just watched Doctor Who - The End of Time, parts 1 and 2; in which we say a sad farewell to David Tennent who plays 'The Doctor' for the last time. This is an brilliant two part special in which we get to see all our favourite charactors; Captain Jack Harkness, Donna Noble, Wilfred Mott (Donna's grandfather), Rose Tyler, Jackie Tyler, Sarah Jane, Luke (Sarah Jane's son), Micky, and Martha Jones.

I cry at everything, so obviously I balled my eyes out watching the second part.

I have loved David as 'The Doctor' I would say he is my favourite, upto now. When we said goodbye to Christopher Eccleston I was very dissappointed I would never of believed David would have be as good. But In my opinion he was better, which is amazing because I loved Christopher Eccleston at the time of him leavng too.

So we now say "Hello" to the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith. I was worried when I saw photo's of him as I thought he (no offence to Matt intended) looked to geeky for 'The Doctor'. In fact I have been dreading this next series. But having seen his entering scene and the following trailer for the fifth series; I believe he will do a great job. He seems to have the same quirkiness David did, especially with what looks like Matt's catchphrase "Geronimo".

I can't wait for this next season to air.


 Farewell David Tennent, Hopefully you have enjoyed being 'The Tenth Doctor' as much as we have enjoyed you being him. Good luck in whatever you plan to do in the future, I'm sure your fans, me included can't wait to see you again.

Good Luck Matt Smith, Enjoy being The Eleventh Doctor.

Aim'z xoxo
