Week 6

This week we are supposed to go see a movie at The Normal Theatre or rent one from the Movie Fan but I went home this week to attend a wake and funeral. SO, I watched a movie here instead. The movie I watched was Kick Ass. I told myself I would never watch this movie because it looked so dumb but I was talked into it. I came to the conclusion that it was still pretty dumb but somehow I liked it. It is shocking how much you can make a little girl do in movies now. She was swearing like a sailor and cutting drug dealers limbs off, not to mention shooting people in the face. This definitely was not intended for children. Some parts were pretty funny and pretty epic like the whole bazooka shooting the main bad guy out of a tower in New York but most of it was just overbearing. I can only imagine how many angry parents left the theatre with their kids learning some vulgar language and sexual concepts. That should not really be an issue because of all the stuff kids find online and on television anyway. One of the most unsettling concepts was the end when the bad guy is beating up the little super hero girl. He was choking and punching her in the face. It was so graphic. I am only squeamish when it comes to little kids and old people getting abused or killed like in the movie The Stepfather. That was a very unsettling movie. I suppose the directors did their job though since they conveyed some sort of emotion to the audience. Moral of the story, don’t beat up old ladies or little kids and don’t try to be a superhero because you will only get shot or shanked in the stomach. You will end up being blown out of a window by a short range missile or in an ambulance wearing a scuba suit.
