Ralph Macchio and me

I've just spent the last few days downloading and watching the Karate Kid series (Obviously not the fourth film, starring Hillary Swank) purely and simply because I am in Korea so therefore I have time to kill. I hadn't seen any of the three films since watching them on video over twenty years ago and I rather enjoyed revisiting my youth. There's something about watching 1980's films that I cannot resist. Surely that's because it was the decade I grew up in. So many 80's films are cheesy and cheap looking but have some naive or innocent quality that I seem to enjoy. Here is a sobering thought, Ralph Macchio is 47. Time sure flies
