Kick-Ass

   17 June 2013, mid-afternoon

I watched Kick-Ass over the weekend. I had missed it in the cinemas. It’s one of those, “what if superheroes were real” movies, based on a comic book of the same name. What sets it apart from most comic book films is probably its excessive violence. Also, it stars Nicolas Cage, who is fantastic in his role as the Batman-like Big Daddy. There are some pretty great action sequences. The fact they are super bloody is a nice bonus. If you haven’t seen Kick-Ass you should check it out.

  1. Did you recognize some of the locations? I saw it at the Scotiabank on Richmond, and at the scene where he goes to the movies everyone in our theatre was all, “hey!”

  2. It’s funny, I mostly just tune out the “hey that’s Toronto” when watching movies now. I don’t think I noticed anything while watching!

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
