KICK-ASS 2 Movie Review

I have not previously reviewed the original Kick Ass movie, which I happened to really enjoy. However this review is for the sequel Kick Ass 2. I will compare the two though for those of you who have seen the first and wish to know more about the second installment.

Let's say Kick Ass 1 had a base score of 10/10. For the Sequel I would give 8/10. Why? Well although as a whole the second was an enjoyable movie experience The start seemed very amateur and the pace was a little slow. However, after roundabout one third of the way through the movie I felt I was back in the Kick Ass universe and the story got really dramatic. Again the film is rife with dark humor and is not recommended for kids. I don't like giving spoilers so I will not discuss the plot of the film but if you enjoyed Kick Ass 1 then this is definitely worth a watch. By the end of the film I'm sure you will be satisfied with your next adventure with Kick Ass, Hit Girl and the rest of the odd ball characters whom make Kick Ass, Kick Ass. Enjoy the movie!

Harold and Kumar go to white castle

What a funny movie. The first time I came across this film I didn't watch it because I believed it to be an amatuer movie. Now however, after watching it whilst on holiday. It is one of my personal favourites. A hilarious overnight adventure for the two titled characters. Very entertaining and a must see for lovers of comedy.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil

A HILARIOUS classic starring Richard Prior and Gene Wilder. This is another of my personal favourites and tells the story of a blind man and deaf man. Who unwittingly become dangerously involved in a murder case.

This is an adult movie which contains strong language and some nudity.

The Lost Boys

One of my personal favourites and a cult classic. The Lost boys tells the story of a family who move to a new city which just happens to be the murder capital of the world. Once there, the family become involved with a gang of Vampires, and must fight for survival.A very talented cast including Kiefer Sutherland, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. A must see for all horror or comedy fans.

Borat

An absolute classic for me and one of my personal favourites. Borat tells the fictional story of the titled character. He travels from Kasakhstan to the United States of America for cultural learning. The movie is hilarious from one scene to the next and the people he interacts with are NOT actors. A fantastic comedy and a must see.

Trivia:- The actor who plays Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) is actually British. He shot to fame with his entertainment program 'Ali Gee'.

Dodgeball: A true underdog story

A hilarious comedy starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. Very far fetched in places but purposely done for comical effect. It tells the story of 2 rival gymnasium owners. Global Gym, a multi-million dollar industry owned by Stiller and Average Joe's a small private gym owned by Vaughn. The latter is in lots of debt and on the verge of going bankrupt. In a desperate effort to save Average Joe's, a client suggests entering the Los Vegas Dodgeball competition which pays $50,000 to the winner. Well $50,000 would save the gym, so the team agree to give it a go and begin hopeless training to qualify for the finals. A fantastic comedy and well worth watching.

Pulp Fiction

Pulp Fiction is my personal favourite of the director Quentin Tarantino. The breakthrough for Tarantino came with Reservoir Dogs, a low budget 'Underworld' movie which was big on conversation. (I may mention that one at a later date.) Again, this movie is big on conversation and again tells an underground tale. It has several inter-twined stories that all meet up in one place or another. The ending to the film is when Bruce Willis rides off on a motorbike with his woman, but that part is featured about 3/4 of the way through. The actual ending of the film is set just prior to the start of the film and then blends in to a hilarious effect. I will forgive you for feeling confused but after following the entire movie from start to finish you will appreciate just what a rare piece of art this gem is. An all-star cast, if you haven't seen it then check it out.

The Terminal

The true story of Viktor Navorski. A man who was actually forced to live in a United States airport. Before seeing this film, I pondered the question - How can they make an entertaining movie with a story like that? Well they showed me how. Another 5 star classic with barrels of entertainment. It has great comedy value and is my number one feel good film of all time. If you have not yet seen it then I assure you that your 2 hours will be well spent. It stars Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones (Or is it Catherine Zeta Douglas now???) Anyway who cares, the bottom line is that this is a must see movie.
