Kick Ass

What happens when Mystery Men go Kill Bill? Move over Dark Knight, Kick Ass is in the room! Though the idea is not completely novel, it is good to have this "ordinary guy turns super hero" genre to view once in a while. When you think of super heroes like Iron Man and Superman, they really live in a fantasy world beyond anyone's grasp, but Kick Ass is really just some ordinary dude... Or maybe not so ordinary as soon as he starts getting help from sidekicks like Hit Girl.

In any case, if you throw in some Michael Ceraish youth (in Revolt), Some Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman in Kill Bill) attitude, colorful photography (or was that just the Vivid setting on my TV?), A funnier than Tom Cruise Nick Cage with his full leftover arsenal from Lord of War, and some cool kitchen integrated living room area that overlooks part of New York, you got yourself this "Nerdy guy befriends and gets the hot girl" -and makes the city a safer place in the mean time - comedy that is definitely a fun way to kill, not Bill, but 90 minutes of your valuable TV watching time... "With no power comes no responsibility" Touché Spider Man! (Now I don't think so many characters and super heroes were ever mentioned in such a short blog ever... beat that!) If you like some goofy humor and don't mind much the formulaic, you're in for a good time with Kick Ass. Rent it.
