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.

Yesterday on Channel 7 at 8:30pm, there was a movie called "the rock" starring Nicolas Cage as "Dr. Stanley Goodspeed" as an FBI agent and his partner Sean Connery acting as 'John Patrick Mason' as the convict.

It all begins with an FBI agent and a convict, who breaks into the former Alcatraz prison in order to stop a renegade general from destroying San Francisco. The renegade (including Ed Harris who plays 'General Francis X. Hummel, USMC') currently have 81 tourist as hostages. Their leader demands $100 million to be paid, as restitution to families of Marines who died in covert ops. Otherwise, he will launch 15 rockets carrying deadly VX gas into the San Francisco Bay area.

It was really exciting during the three hours, packed with wholesome action, through shooting and destruction of various objects. My favourite scene had to be the chase involving the Hummer and the Ferrari down California Street. In the final climax the Ferrari is destroyed after colliding with a tram. For the men out there, the movie contains extreme violent, exhausting action and macho posturing making it an unlikely ticket choice for women and children.

Overall i rate this movie 8 of 10
