Plus narration by Ian McKellen, David Kelly as the guard of the wall, Mark Strong (love that guy!), Mark Heap (Spaced anyone?), Mark Williams as Billy, so much great stuff! Pretty sure it just came out on BluRay, looking forward to finally adding it to my collection. It deserves it.

Ever since my Star Wars days I try to watch an anticipated (by me of course) movie on opening day. I'm like a big kid at Christmas when it comes to certain movies, especially Kick-ass ones like this (pun intended).

Quote:Originally posted by lwaves: Sometimes because I want to see the 'big event' film before others get a chance to hype up or play down it's impact. Sometimes it's a film that may have a big twist and I don't want to be spoiled by comments, reviews etc after it's opened. Like you it's based on what I feel is must see movie, not what promotions or others tell me.

Quote:Originally posted by BigRichard: for some reason, in Australia, we get certain movies REALLY LATE. Book of Eli comes out next week. It's REALLY annoying. Other times, if they do poorly in the US, we don't get a cinema release at all. Anyone seen Stay? Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, Ryan Gosling? Yeah. Didn't do well at US, so we got it for one week. Luckily I saw that opening night, and loved it. Another good reason to go opening night - for those small movies you're not sure will last long!

Quote:Originally posted by lwaves: Didn't realise you were from the land down under. That sucks having to wait so long. Actually we get the similar treatment in the UK but it's generally not as bad as what I've heard you Aussies have to put up with and these days the bigger releases tend to be the same day or within a couple of weeks. Less well known films tend to suffer though and as you say may not even appear at the cinema.

As reprehensible as it is for the character of Damon Macready/"Big Daddy" (Nicolas Cage) to train his daughter in weaponry and martial arts to the point she becomes "Hit Girl" and helps him exact revenge against the mobster who helped frame him and send him to prison, I think it is almost as reprehensible that the parents of the twelve year old actress (Chloe Moretz) would allow her to appear in such a gruesome and graphically violent film, including her uttering just about every obscenity you would expect to hear in a Scorcese or Tarantino film. I know those in the target audience will call me and Ebert old-fashioned and out of touch, but so be it. I don't have anything against violence or obscenity in films as long as it serves the story, but not when it is the entire story.

I doubt I would agree with Ebert on most things, had stopped watching his show long before Siskel died. It's just in this case I agree with his assessment. I'm obviously not in the target demo for this film although I could have been if their intent hadn't been to depict the most graphic and goriest ways to off the bad guys or to show protagonists that are every bit as psychotic and morally bankrupt as the villains. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Quote:Originally posted by BigRichard: I have had that about Legion. Will probably give it a miss until it comes out on DVD, or I get a voucher or something. It's a shame because I love Paul Bettany usually, and a film about angels etc, should be excellent, but it sounds like it just all falls apart. Harry Brown I'm excited about, love Michael Caine, and I've heard good things. To take the thread back on topic, I saw Kick Ass AGAIN today. And I loved it again. I went with another friend who I saw it with last time, and a friend we took to see it for the first time. We all loved it. First time, second time, we all had a great time. Upon seeing the credits roll this time, I decided. This is a release day BluRay buy for me. Love it.

Quote:Originally posted by Cavalier: Quote:Originally posted by pcch7: well, would you wanna mess with them [River + Hit-girl]? No, but I doubt that they would get on. Bluntly, our BDHs are criminals. The last time we saw them on their day job, they were robbing a bank. The last time we saw Mindy, she was hospitalising two kids for trying to steal her lunch money. What do you think she would do to a bunch of bank robbers? So if she ever encountered the crew of Serenity, it would probably be bloodshed at first sight... (FWIW - I think Mindy wins if she has access to firearms. Otherwise, I'm betting on River on grounds of her greater reach and, presumably, strength.)
