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
3. The Crazies
4. Kick-Ass
5. Alice In Wonderland
6. Book of Eli
7. Remember Me
8. Valentine's Day
9. The Bounty Hunter
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.
