I know this is completely left field, but after seeing Eddie the Eagle I thought Hugh Jackman and Taron Egerton had great chemistry and that they would be great in a rom-com together.

Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001)
Should've ended at Season 6.
When I first watched Degrassi, I was hooked. It was real, and I related easily to the characters. The kids felt realer to me, and was easier to sympathize with. But after Season 6, it all went downhill.
I think it should've ended right after J.T. died. I'll admit I was a big fan of his, but when Degrassi merged with Lakehurst, everything went downhill. I think that they just simply ran out of issues to cover and repeated them. But when they did, they presented it like juicy drama or gossip from a tabloid magazine. The kids stopped looking like real kids, they started looking like the cookie-cutter Hollywood type in typical teen shows.
Degrassi was a great show. After it got handed to The-N or Teenick or whatever, it just fell down amongst the rank of clichéd, typical teen garbage.
If you want to enjoy Degrassi in it's prime, I suggest you watch the older episodes.
The Karate Kid (2010)
Well...it has it's merits...
If you're looking to see something like the 80's version, you'd be mistaken. While the concept is the same, it's all different. Starting with Jaden being about 8 years younger than Ralph when they took the roles.
Unlike the original, I think, this lacks...that umph. I'm not sure what it is, but the original definitely had more character, it felt more raw and more believable than this one. The new one just felt more commercialized, like there was less interest in making the characters or the plot unique. Dre's the typical American kid sticking like a sore thumb in a foreign country. Meets girl. Culture keeps them apart. Bullies. Blah, blah, blah. Though the original was still a clichéd plot, there was just that thing, that umph, that the new one didn't.
I guess because it's a remake of something that's a pop icon, and when the first one came out, it was just an idea.
But this does have it's merits. It has funny moments, intentional or not. It's a feel good movie, and fun for the family.
My advice: Looking to see a reincarnation or anything close to the 80's version - Don't go. Looking for some light, family fun, or you're just bored - Do go.
Drag Me to Hell (2009)
Predictable and Clichéd
When I saw the preview for this movie, I thought it seemed interesting enough.
But no, the movie started for only 20 minutes and I figured out what was going to happen throughout the whole story. Guess what? I was right.
The movie is not scary, if that's what you were hoping for. It is only scary because the low then loud music they play every five minutes for supposed "suspense", will blast the living life out of your ears. The graphics are cartoonish, and it is more gore than actual fright. And that Mrs. Ganush lady sure liked sticking things in Christine's mouth, didn't she? And let's not forget the clichés. The skeptical boyfriend, the high-strung parents of the boyfriend, the being cursed by an old lady thing, the traitor co-worker, and the whole you think it's all okay but then the protagonist dies in the end unexpectedly, and when I mean unexpectedly, I mean you saw it coming if you have common sense. . Yes...she dies. DUH. The poster is actually a spoiler. That only happens in the end.
I watched this with my 11-year old sister and we both laughed hysterically at the "horror" scenes.
The end.
