Kick Ass Reviews, Interviews & More

Hey, remember the red-band trailer for Kick-Ass 2?  Well, here’s the exact same clip, but edited to accommodate the more all-ages green-band crowd.  Which means you get all the same things as before—Jim Carrey scene-stealing as the bizarre Colonel Stars and Stripes, some juvenile humor, and a lot of fairly cheap special effects—without much of anything new to go by, or get...

Fans of the Kick-Ass comics and film, you may now rejoice, for the Kick-Ass 2 red-band trailer is now upon you.  Sure, the special effects don’t look that hot, and the adult humor paradoxically gets a bit juvenile, but hey—you get the return of Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Kick-Ass, Chloe Grace Moretz as Hit Girl, and Christopher...

We've been hearing all sorts of rumors about the upcoming Godzilla film, but one thing is for certain: casting is happening right now because shooting is set to commence in March. Though we've heard about a number of performers being considered for the project, it looks like Warner Brothers has their eye on a new leading man: Aaron Johnson.

The journey to Kick-Ass 2 has been a long and arduous one.  First, the film was rumored to be in development, was then officially greenlit, and then quickly scurried into non-development as everyone involved appeared to be simply too busy to film the sequel to the 2010 cult hit.  Now, however, it seems that Universal is swooping in like a caped crusader to rescue the film from the...

Hey Kick-Ass fans, you’re not waiting for the sequel to hit theaters next year, in which the film will adapt the Kick-Ass 2 comic, are you?  You’re not looking forward to the continuing adventures of Kick-Ass as he preps for the arrivial of The Red Mist, right?  Oh, you are?  ‘Cause, you see… well…

Matthew Vaughn currently has his hands full with the release of 20th Century Fox's X-Men: First Class, but that hasn't stopped fans from wanting to know what's next on his agenda. How about Kick-Ass 2? That's what a lot of people want to see, but according to screenwriter Jane Goldman, that's not happening any time soon.

Last week, we posted an article entitled, "Was It Bad Timing That Befell Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World?" It pretty much explained the reasons why neither film was a huge commercial success, even though we're sure they'll gain a following on DVD. Despite its low ticket sales, comic creator Mark Millar recently revealed during an interview with BBC Radio that a Kick-Ass...

A good mix of DVDs this week as we get both an attempted blockbuster (Kick-Ass) and several smaller films that almost made Rotten Tomatoes explode with good reviews (The Ghost Writer and A Prophet). Plus, if you have kids, you can pick up a DVD to entertain them why you check out one of these R-Rated flicks with...

It's no secret that a sequel to Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass adaptation is in the works. Even though the film wasn't a huge commercial success, it made enough money to warrant a follow up. According to Movieweb, Kick-Ass creator and writer Mark Millar recently opened up about his comic book sequel entitled Kick-Ass: Balls to the Wall...

We have a number of films to choose from this week with a lot of solid potential. The stand-out film of this week is Kick-Ass, it's almost impossible to find something bad to say about it. If comedy is more your thing then you are in luck. First we have Derrick Borte's dramedy or "rom-com", The Joneses starring the...

As I said right after seeing this film at ShoWest, this film does what it says it will, it kick's ass. There are some things that I could pick at if I really wanted to but overall it's a darkly comedic film about fake superheros fighting crime and it's some of the most fun I've had in theaters all year. The tone, the dialogue and the comedic-violence are brilliantly well executed...I was sold...

Around this time last year Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of Kick-Ass was considered the little engine that could. No studio wanted to buy it because they thought the content was too graphic. They weren't just afraid of violence and gore because that's been done to death (literally), they were worried about the dialogue given to the youngest member of the cast, Chloe...

The movie theater is where you need to be at when the clock strikes twelve tonight. Finally, Kick-Ass is here. So many of us have craved for this day to come, and up until now we've only had cool clips, awesome posters and Kick-Ass trailer to satisfy our cravings, but the wait is finally over! Lionsgate -- also excited about the release of...

Tonight is the night that Hollywood's elite comes out to watch a bunch of kids curse and kill criminals. We're talking about the West Coast premiere of Matthew Vaughn's new film Kick-Ass that opens nationwide this Friday on April 16th. Below you can watch the movie's cast including Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Mark Strong, and Nicholas Cage...

Mark Millar, the author of the Kick-Ass comic book series recently spoke a little bit about Matthew Vaughn's upcoming release and some of the changes that had to be made so that the original series would work on the big screen. For the most part many of the changes that took place were to help the structure of adapting the film (so that it didn't want to fall victim...

Kick-Ass is coming and he's bringing all his crazy hero friends with him. The Matthew Vaughn comic adaptation hits theaters on April 16th and a new TV spot has debuted online. Not only that, but Lionsgate has decided to throw us a bone by releasing a new clip from the movie that shows Hit Girl getting a very special and very dangerous birthday present from Big...

Now that April is officially here, the debut of Matthew Vaughn's comic adaptation Kick-Ass is on the horizon. The film's cult fanbase has grown significantly over the past year thanks to its unique marketing campaign and there's more to come. Today, we've got two clips from the film that show the title character Kick-Ass himself and the older, slightly insane Big...

Kick-Ass wants you to be their fan on FaceBook. As much as I hate having to become a fan or add my name to anything in order to get something, it's a pretty small price to pay in order to have access to new clips, live interviews with the director and more... And I have to say, this film is completely worth it (check out our ShoWest First Look). We have one of the...

Earlier today we gave you our first impression of Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass after it was screened at this year's ShoWest, now a new theatrical trailer has been conveniently released by Lionsgate. The video is short and sweet running just 10 seconds over the 1 minute mark. It focuses more on why these "heroes" do what they do, and dare I say tries to give the film an...

...it kicks ass. Much like the title of this film, Kick-Ass is very straight forward. It has one idea, one concept and it follows through 100% with what it promises to do. There's no debate over the rating, no lines that they're afraid to cross, it's just a simple comic-book story about a guy who is anything but your typical hero. The fight scenes are extremely well...
