PICKS OF THE WEEK
"Kick-Ass" (R) -- "Kick-
Ass" is one of my favorite
films of 2010 (after "Toy
Story 3" and "Iron Man
2"). Based on the cult
comic-book series, "Kick-
Ass" is the story of a high-
school nebbish named
Dave (Aaron Johnson) who
secretly decides to become
a superhero named Kick-
Ass. When someone with a
phonecam videos Kick-Ass
beating down a bunch of
goons, Kick-Ass becomes
a YouTube sensation and
Dave finds himself taking
on more and more danger-
ous assignments.
- Eventually, Kick-Ass
comes to the attention of
a local mobster (Mark
Strong) and the teen finds
himself over his head.
Luckily, there are other
masked vigilantes in town
ready to come to his aid:
Big Daddy (played to the
hilt by Nicholas Cage
doing his best Adam West
impression) and 10-year-
old Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz),
a ruthless, vulgarity-spew-
ing assassin.
With its high-octane,
ultra-violent set pieces,
"Kick-Ass" definitely earns
its R rating, and director
Matthew Vaughn keeps
the pace of the film rockin'
like Dokken. If you're a fan
of films like "Kill Bill" or
"Robo Geisha," then you
definitely need to check
-out "Kick-Ass."
"The Breakfast Club"
(25th Anniversary Edition)
[Blu-Ray] (R) -- This film
about a group of high-
school stereotypes bonding
during a Saturday detention
session made John Hughes
the king of '80s teen-angst
films, created the term
"Brat Pack" and skyrock-
Aaron Johnson as Kick-Ass
eted Judd Nelson's flaring
nostrils into superstardom.
Special features include a
12-part documentary by
the cast and other film-
makers reminiscing about
the making of the film and
its impact on American
culture, a commentary
track with Judd Nelson and
Anthony Michael Hall, and
a documentary on The Brat
Pack.

sary DVD Collection"

sive, 17-disc collection
