OPENING THIS WEEK
THE OTHER GUYS
WILL FERRELL and MARK WAHLBERG form a mismatched pair of cops (where haven't we seen that before?) in this comedy/action flick that is sure to do some decent box office numbers. This is a big movie for Ferrell who, while he is hugely popular, doesn't always translate into box office figure (see: Land of the Lost). My take? If you're in the mood for a comedy this will be the ticket, but if you want the best overall movie choice, go see INCEPTION.
POPCORN WORTHINESS: $6
STEP UP 3D
ALL I can say about this movie is that I hope it makes Step UP 2: The Streets look like You Got Served.
POPCORN WORTHINESS: $1
MIDDLE MEN
Luke Wilson as a bad guy? or just as a guy that doesn't whine constantly throughout the entire movie? Doesn't work. I'm sure the story has more plot holes than Ray Cascella's face as well...
POPCORN WORTHINESS: $3
ON DVD THIS WEEK
KICK-ASS
Kick-Ass Dave Lizewski, a comic-book fanboy, decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name -- Kick-Ass -- assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit-Girl and her father, Big Daddy.
Special Features:
# A New Kind of Superhero: The Making of Kick-Ass
# It's On! The Comic Book Origin of Kick-Ass
# Audio Commentary
# The Art of Kick-Ass
# Marketing Archive
ALSO ON DVD: DIARY OF A WIMPY KID (Kinda saw it on a plane, not my bag), THE GHOST WRITER (Not Rider, no headless beings in this just a bunch of boring political drabble)
