Kick-Ass

Nicholas Cage (Damon Macready/Big Daddy)

Chloe Grace Moretz (Mindy Macready/Hit Girl)

Aaron Johnson (Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass)

Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Chris D'Amico/Red Mist)

Setting: Present Day New York City

Be forwarned. The first hour and a half are disappointing. However, the last half an hour is, dare I say it, kick-ass! That is the time when Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) takes over. I think that Hit Girl would have been a much coherent film than Kick-Ass (Aaron Johnson). A guy thinks it would be cool to be a super-hero. So he does just that. Along the way he meets Hit Girl and Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage). Wait for it to come out on video! 2 1/2 out of 5 stars. The End. (2010 - R)

Date Night

Steve Carrell (Phil Foster)

Tina Fey (Claire Foster)

Mark Wahlberg (Holbrooke)

Ray Liotta (Joe Moletto)

James Franco (Taste)

Mila Kunis (Whippit)

Kristen Wiig (Haley Sullivan)

Mark Ruffalo (Brad Sullivan)

Setting: Today in New York City

Phil (Steve Carrell) and Claire Foster (Tina Fey) are an average couple living in the suburbs with two kids. They keep their lives interesting by going on "Date Nights" where the two of them go out sans kids. One night, instead of going to a local eatery, they head into the city. Phil and Claire are mistaken for somebody else. Further hijinks ensue. A strong showing by Tina Fey and a host of stars add to this run-of-the-mill comedy. I must admit there were several parts I laughed at, but I would wait for it to come out on video. I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars. But seriously, I would wait for the DVD. The End. (2010 - PG-13)

Clash of the Titans

Liam Neeson (Zeus)

Ralph Fiennes (Hades)

Sam Worthington (Perseus)

Setting: A long, long time ago

A 3-D movie. The worst I have ever seen. Instead of using Claymation effects, they used a green screen. That is the only difference I saw between the 1981 version and the present version. Perseus (Sam Worthington) is a demi-god who is raised by a fisherman and his wife. Zeus (Niam Neeson) is the real father. I don't know the rest of what happened. It was very confusing. At one point, Perseus beheads Medusa. He then shows the head to Hades (Ralph Fiennes). But Hades doesn't die, he goes and rules the netherworld. Release the Craken. I would give it a 1 1/2 out of 5 stars. The End (2010 - PG-13)

Chloe

Liam Neeson (David Stewart)

Julianne Moore (Catherine Stewart)

Amanda Seyfried (Chloe)

Setting: Today

A Gynolgist...A Gynokogist....A Gynecoljist....An OB/GYN (Julianne Moore) and Professor husband (Liam Neeson). She thinks he is having an affair so she hires a woman named Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) to spy for her. Chloe ends up seducing her. In the end, Chloe admits she is making it all up (the part where David is unfaithful), falls out a window to her death. Soft-core porn. I would rate it 2 1/4 out of 5 stars. The End. (2009 - R)
