The person that came up with the movie title, Kick-Ass , rocks. Because really I am so excited I can actually say those two words together and it mean something well meaningful. These four new posters from the upcoming movie Kick-Ass were just released. The movie stars Nicolas Cage, Aaron Johnson and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. The movie hits theaters on April 16th, 2010.
KICK-ASS tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who 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 (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage).
Comic books and super heroes are a great combination!
It looks like Zac Efron is already tackling reading more scripts as he was munching on an apple while going into a Los Angeles hotel today. Zac proves that apples can do a body good. Look at him!
Zac recently got back from Vancouver where he was filming, The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud. Zac plays Charlie who is overcome by grief at the death of his younger brother. So much so that he takes a job as caretaker of the cemetery in which his brother is buried. Charlie has a special lasting bond with his brother though, as he can see him. Charlie meets up with his brother (Sam) each night to play catch and talk. Then, a girl comes into Charlie’s life and he must choose between keeping a promise he made to Sam, or going after the girl he loves.
Back in July, I posted the trailer for, Brothers, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire. Now that the movie is hitting theaters on December 4th they released a couple of new stills. This movie looks amazing, especially with the cast that it has. The quick synopsis is that a man (Jake) comforts his sister-in-law (Natalie) and children after her husband (Tobey) goes missing in Afghanistan. I’ve watched the trailer more than a couple of times already.
Here we are at the tenth episode already of the last season of Supernatural, it looks like it will be the last season after all. I haven’t heard any rumors of it being otherwise. I will have to soak up the last season as much as I can.
The tenth episode is called, Abandon All Hope, and it goes like this: Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Castiel (Misha Collins) track down the Colt and head off to find Lucifer (guest star Mark Pelligreno) to send him back to Hell. It’s a hunters’ reunion when the crew joins forces with Bobby (Jim Beaver), Ellen (guest star Samantha Ferris) and Jo (guest star Alona Tal) for what could be their last night on Earth.
I have to thank the CW for some really cute still of Jared for once! It’s about time Sam gets some love too!
I am an avid reader and right now I’m reading, The Mortal Instruments Series. I’m almost done the second book but feel heartbroken about the characters so I must admit that I haven’t been reading as much as I used to.
I had heard about Nightlight by The Harvard Lampoon a couple weeks ago and how it was a parody of Twilight. I know that when I was reading it I had some silly questions about the characters. The book finally came out today and on the EW website they posted a chapter of it.
The main character is Belle and she is moving from Phoenix to where her dad lives, Switchblade. And the main character that she falls in love with is a computer geek named, Edwart. I have to say that I read through the first chapter quite quickly laughing and getting stares at the other people in my house. Here is my favorite excerpt from the first chapter.
It was then that I saw him. He was sitting at a table all by himself, not even eating. He had an entire tray of baked potatoes in front of him and still he did not touch a single one. How could a human have his pick of baked potatoes and resist them all? Even odder, he hadn’t noticed me, Belle Goose, future Academy Award winner.
A computer sat before him on the table. He stared intently at the screen, narrowing his eyes into slits and concentrating those slits on the screen as if the only thing that mattered to him was physically dominating that screen. He was muscular, like a man who could pin you up against the wall as easily as a poster, yet lean, like a man who would rather cradle you in his arms. He had reddish, blonde-brown hair that was groomed heterosexually. He looked older than the other boys in the room — maybe not as old as God or my father, but certainly a viable replacement. Imagine if you took every woman’s idea of a hot guy and averaged it out into one man. This was that man.
”What is that?” I asked, knowing that whatever it was it wasn’t avian.
”That’s Edwart Mullen,” Lululu said.
Edwart. I had never met a boy named Edwart before. Actually, I had never met any human named Edwart before. It was a funny sounding name. Much funnier than Edward.
I can’t wait to get the whole book and read and giggle through the whole thing! I hope they end up writing all the books. I know there is a couple of the characters like Dr. Cullen and Emmett and how they would make them really funny.
The new movie, The Box, with Cameron Diaz and James Marsden, is hitting theatres on Friday. And every time I see the trailer I am always asking myself what is this movie really about?
So after doing a bit of research I found out that it is based on the short story, Button, Button, this short story also made it’s way into being an episode of The Twilight Zone. The quick run down of the movie is this: Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger, delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. But, pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don’t know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.
This brings me to the question I have been asking everyone around me. And annoying them with it. Would you press the button if you would cause someone to die and take the million dollars? I know personally I started thinking of every way possible to try to win. Everyone knows I love to play games and I love to try and cheat and win because I’m a sore loser. But there is no way that you can win in this one. If you really need the million dollars, since these days a million dollars doesn’t seem like much, but if you need it it might seem like a sweet deal. But I couldn’t handle the thought of having someone’s death in my head that whole time. And then if I didn’t take the money and really needed it might cause me to have something bad happen to me. So what is a person to do? Would you push the button?
