Big Fun in the Big Town (1986)
Sincerely yours, 1986
Interview format documentary about the Bronx's rap culture with a Dutchman asking locals light to frank questions. Some of the local celebs included:
Grandmaster Flash, Doug E Fresh (best beatbox i've seen him do), Roxanne Shante & Biz Markie (live), Russell Simmons, Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels (rapping to a tape in his car), Run & Jam Master Jay (in the studio), LL Cool J & E Love (straight outta Grandma Todd's house), Suliaman El Hadi of the Last Poets, Schooly D & DJ Code Money
Nowhere near as gritty as "80 Blocks from Tiffany's", but edgier than an afternoon special.
The Karate Kid (2010)
At least this movie explains the stuff.
Chinese medicine... Jacky "effin" Chan as a teacher (instead of Happy Days' Arnold)... Who cares about the title. AND, I'm not afraid that Ralph Machio's girlfriend isn't going to run over him in the end. It's a good movie, if you've seen the original. And, it's a good Jacky Chan movie, if you haven't seen the Pat Morita, Hollywood script tight, true to nothing in actual martial arts original, "Karate Kid".
Btw, I've seen every great Jacky Chan movie. This one ain't bad.
As far the Fresh Prince to be, I didn't mind him at all. A lot of folks are saying that this flick is a "vehicle" for him, but who cares. The kid gets his butt kicked left and right, traditional evil wushu style. I felt bad for him.
I got more if you need.
