Did Kick-Ass Kick Ass?

Yesterday I had two of my wisdom teeth pulled. I'm not hurting as bad as I thought I might be. I haven't even had any swelling. The doctor provided me with some handy drugs. That's nice. I was awake for the procedure, and no lie, it was pretty cool. The only thing I didn't enjoy was having needles stuck into my gums and my tongue. That sucked.

So . . . I took yesterday and today off. I slept most of the day yesterday. Four hours total. It was pretty nice. Today I woke up and didn't do a whole lot of anything. That's what made me decide to go catch a movie. I've been planning on seeing Kick-Ass for a couple of weeks but hadn't got around to it. I finally did.

My thoughts.

I'm kind of disappointed. Wasn't what I was thinking it would be.

The highlight of the movie was Hit Girl. Watching a foul mouthed twelve year old kick the crap out of a bunch of men was fun.

McLovin' a.k.a Red Mist was not so fun. Sadly I think Super Bad may have type cast Christopher Mintz-Plasse (for me).

The protagonist Kick-Ass/Dave Lizewski was somewhat boring.

Nicholas Cage gave one of his best performances in a long while. Cage is a comic book lover and seriously shamed himself with his Elvis impersonating Ghost Rider. Gladly he redeemed himself with Big Daddy.

I wish the movie had been more about Big Daddy and Hit Girl than Kick-Ass. They're where the movie is at.

Where does Kick-Ass come in on the rankings . . .

1. How To Train Your Dragon

2. Shutter Island

5. Alice In Wonderland

6. Book of Eli

7. Remember Me

8. Valentine's Day

Next week I may check out Iron Man. Not because I'm excited about seeing but because Scarlett Johansson is in it.

Until next time,

Adios and via con dios.
