The Karate Kid (Trailer)
Trailer for remake of The Karate Kid
Tip: Rollover video unit to expand screen
We Say:
We’re big fans of the original Karate Kid and are looking forward to this remake too, starring martial arts legend Jackie Chan…
They Say:
In Columbia Pictures’ The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could’ve been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother’s (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying – and the feeling is mutual – but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre’s feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts “the karate kid” on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
Piccadilly (1929)
The fifth in our series of films selected from the BFI’s National Archive, Piccadilly (1929) provides an exotic taste of inter-war London’s sleazy underbelly.
Dipping in to both the glamour of the West End and the sleaze of Limehouse and the then Chinese Quarter, this film – starring Anna May Wong – is notable for its at-the-time risque portrayal of inter-racial sex.

Tea Making Tips (1941)
Here’s top tips on how to make the perfect cup of tea.
This film, from 1941, is the latest in the series of fims we have been highlighting from the treasure trove that is the British Film Institute (BFI) National Archive.
The tips are spot on; always use freshly boiled water, warm the pot, etc but just one thing that we think’s missing; don’t forget to stir the pot once just after you’ve poured the water in.
What’s also great about these archive films is listening in to the historic accents, whereby even your lowly charlady sounds posher than a present day Dame.

Man throws bicycle at muggers on motorbike
Posted by admin in Bizarre, Fail, Law & Order on December 29th, 2009
Here’s a piece of benevolant street theatre from China.
Two muggers on a motorbike are making their getaway having stolen a handbag from a woman outside a hotel in Wenzhou. Step up a street hero who tosses his bicycle straight at the criminals, felling them in the process.
Music soundtrack is Kung Fu Fighting by Karl Douglas.
