Given my (possibly inexplicable) love for the regular-guy-superhero movie Kick-Ass, I was nervous (but hopeful) about the sequel (cleverly called Kick-Ass 2) because, while it has the same cast, it has a new director and the first movie was so … Continue reading
Went to see (of course) The Wolverine, the new X-Men movie (that is not a sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine but is a sequel to X-Men 3… Wolverine is traumatized by the events of X3… while we, the audience, were … Continue reading
