"I can't read your mind. But I can kick your ass." - Kick-Ass

Based off the Marvel comic, Kick-Ass is a movie starring Christopher Mintz-Plasse (from Superbad), Nicolas Cage and Aaron Johnson. The main character Dave Lizewski is an average high school student who is interested in comic books. He wonders why there are no super heroes in real life, similar to those in his comics. One day he decides to become the super hero Kick-Ass, even though he has no powers or training. Eventually other people are inspired to become a super hero like himself and they form a crime fighting team together.

This movie was incredibly funny and entertaining the whole time. The plot was something completely unexpected and different. The whole movie was sort of a spoof of super hero movies and had a very comical nature. The fight scenes featuring Dave Lizewski as Kick-Ass are absolutely hilarious as it is blatantly obvious that he has no previous fighting experience and is fighting with no clue to as what he is doing.

I would rate this movie an 8 out of 10 and highly recommend watching it.

They're spitefully romantic :"10 things i hate about you"

'10 Things I Hate About You' is directed by Gil Junker, starring Heath ledger, Julia stiles, Joseph Gorden-Levitt and Larisa Olenek. Most of you guys probably watched 10 things i hate about you which is pretty old, however in remembrance of the best Australian actor Health ledger i decided to bring it back to the view.

Adapted from the Shakespeare's play "The Taming of the Shrew," 10 Things I Hate About You first started up in a high school setting, where we are introduced to Cameron (Joseph Gorden-Levitt) who finds himself falling in love with a snobby girl called Bianca (Larisa Oleynik). Bianca's dad is very strict as he imposed a rule that Bianca is not allowed to date until her older sister Kat (Julia Stiles) dates first. For Cameron to have the opportunity to date Bianca, he came with an idea , and that's tricking the" pretty-boy " model called Joey Donner into thinking that he will get to take Bianca out if he pays someone to take Kat out . So Joey Donner decided to take Patrick-Verona, "the bad boy" to win Kat's heart. Patrick is well known for his mysterious personality, as some people say that he ate a live duck once, while others say that he lit a state trooper on fire and so on. In an attempt to get Kat a boyfriend, Cameron came up with the idea to have the school stud, Joey Donna, bribe Patrick Verona, all this is get Kat to date Patrick. Eventually Patrick went out with Kat, and Cameron went out with Bianca.

I personally like this movie because that's when Heath ledger was in his teenage years, and i rate this move 8 out of 10 as it was entertaining.

How can you possibly miss a movie with Steve Carell, so when Date Night hit the big screens, I grabbed my keys and the nearest person and headed straight to the cinemas. Ok, fine that’s not how it happened, but I wish it did. Anyhow the story of when and how I watched it will be reserved for a later time. Now it’s time to fill you guys in of what you’re missing out on.

Date Night is about a happily married couple with two children, they are living ordinary lives with managing work, family and social affairs. Every ‘one’ night they get to themselves, Phil and Claire get the baby sitter in and call it a ‘date night’, where they can forget about everything and focus on their ‘love’. The movie is around one very special night, which goes horribly wrong, when Phil decides to take some ‘no shows’ reservation in a very popular city restaurant. That was their first mistake, the movie goes on with one problem after another and during this, Phil and Claire grow closer to each other and overcome a few issues which bite any ‘ordinary’ couple.

Date night has the classic bad guys vs. good guys theme, and there is no guessing in who wins in the end. Overall I rate this movie an 8 out of 10, for its comedy, story, and just being a great feel good movie.

I personally found this review on Date Night quite interesting: http://stalepopcornau.blogspot.com/2010/04/review-date-night.html
