The Arcade<br />

by Carla da Ponte<br />

The Arcade is really great.<br />

If kids are on the street doing<br />

nothing or are at home really<br />

bored, they should go the the<br />

Arcade someday and see<br />

Movie Review by Emmy Pantin<br />

KARATE KIDS©<br />

"Karate Kids" starts with a<br />

typical "street scene" with<br />

typical "street kids".<br />

Although this movie is a cartoon<br />

it was realistically and<br />

very well done. It goes on to<br />

introduce the malevolent<br />

"smiling man". The main<br />

characters are Karate, the<br />

hero, Rosa, Kafate'.s girl<br />

friend, Pedro, a young boy<br />

and loyal friend of Karate,<br />

Mario, Pedro and Karate's<br />

friend and of course the smiling<br />

man.<br />

Mario and Pedro statt<br />

working in the market place,<br />

juggling. But later get all<br />

their money stolen. The smiling<br />

man comes on the scene<br />

and offers the boys a gold<br />

watch but before the boys<br />

can -get in to trouble Karate<br />

saves them. Karate explains<br />

(quite effectively) how the<br />

boys could get A.I.D.S. and<br />

what A.I.D.S. could do to<br />

them. The next day the smiling<br />

man offers the boys<br />

money to come with him and<br />

Mario goes with him, ignoring<br />

the advice of Karate.<br />

Pedro finds Karate and tells<br />

him what happened to Mario<br />

and Karate gets a friend to<br />

chase the smiling man's<br />

black car. That's where the<br />

high-speed chase begins. It's<br />

a great scene. I really liked<br />

this movie, it was realistically<br />

done, with no bull shit and it<br />

was done in a way that really<br />

educated me - and wasn't<br />

boring. And that's the main<br />

word - education. It's format<br />

was well done and was<br />

clearly made for street kids.<br />

Some parts were scary and<br />

very straight forward, but<br />

don't let that turn you off<br />

this movie, I highly rcccom- ·<br />

mend it.<br />
