Kick-Ass

7/10

Absolutely fantastic! It surpassed my expectations. I thought it was going to be a cornball movie about a group of people with no powers pretending to be super heroes, and it was that a bit, but then the little girl came on the screen. She was the best thing about this movie, and now I can see why so many people were all, "omg dgsdjg the little girl sdsh". Her fight scenes were beastly. The main character's voice was annoying as hell, but other than that, really entertaining.

The Runaways

6/10

I don't really know too much about The Runaways since I only liked and listened to Joan Jett's stuff she did with The Blackhearts, but I knew there was some sort of homoerotic undertones gonna be all up in here. It's just kinda weird because Dakota Fanning is still jailbait, but whatevs. Decent film though I think it would have been better if it had more of a direction. It may have been a biopic, but it could have had more of a focus and a point than merely depicting the band. Oh, and Fanning is extremely good as a drunk and stoned Cheri.

Dahmer

7/10

This shows that Jeremy Renner (from The Hurt Locker) is a phenomenal actor. He was so creepy in this film even when he was just sitting in a chair. I liked how they showed the relationship he had with his family and actual events that occurred. The casting was all really great. Each person they showed looked so much like the actual victims. Though if you're looking to see him kill up a bunch of people, it's not that type of film. It doesn't show anything incredibly graphic -- except with his first victim.

EDIT:

New York, I Love You

8/10

Didn't expect to see this, but New York, I Love You was just on. Very impressive storytelling by multiple writer/directors one of which includes a segment directed by Natalie Portman. All the directors hail from New York so you really get the best out of the New York lights on the camera. The short stories were great. Some funny, some sad, all of them very clever. And all of them about the different types of love.
