There is nothing like a surprise at the holiday time of year. Mine is "Kick-Ass"(2010). I never paid any attention to it. Not much of a super hero fan other than the Japanese reels of Ultraman and the weirdly wonderful Batman T.V. show from childhood. Big mistake! "Kick Ass" is a black comedy worthy of late night cult status. I thought it was simply a Coming of Age flick. Fun but not worth the time. Wrong! This is an absolutely strange and brilliant film. In the tradition of "Harold & Maude", "Eating Raoul" and many others. A MUST see. Brilliant Nicloas Cage as " Big Daddy" is actually over shadowed by his onscreen daughter named "Hit Girl". Other surprises for film history fans are everywhere!. I'm not going to tell....
Well done.
