I tend to miss a lot of movies the first time they come out. I don’t know if it’s got something to do with laziness or the fact that I’m usually blissfully unaware of the world around me or I’d rather spend my day watching the latest Ashlyn Rae video (no, not really) but I tend to end up looking at my friends with a blank stare and going “Buh?” when they talk about the latest awesome movie.
This is why I’m making up for missing all those times by checking out some movies I’ve missed. Also, I’ve got a huge queue of unwatched movies sitting on my hard drive – I seriously need to free up disk space. I guess wasting my time writing reviews won’t hurt a bit since I’ve got nothing better to do.
Kick-Ass

High school kid gets bored with his life.

They manage to take down the mafia.
I love the comics, and it’s no surprise that this movie is an instant favorite. It’s no classic, of course, but it’s a fun watch.

After Kick-Ass gets bored with superheroics, he inexplicably turns up in Liverpool with a Liverpudlian accent and he’s… John Lennon. He starts to hang out with his estranged mother, and they have a creepy, almost Oedipal relationship.
