Byron House at Trent University, Nottingham, is the perfect venue for intimate shows with a very good sound system. I would guess there must have been 250 to 300 supporters in the audience for the Reverend And The Makers gig on March 9, which gave a real feeling of being with the band.
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.
