My daughter and I saw Kick-Ass 2 tonight. I thought it was great. Though I miss understood somethings. My daughter laughed at me because I didn't understand that hit girl actually got turned on by boyband videos. I thought she was going to hurl when she saw them. She looked horrified. But apparently she liked what she saw. I had no idea Hit Girl did what she did with vision problems. Makes her just that much more impressive.

P.E.: "Your name is John Coffey?"
J.C.: "Yes sir boss. Like the drink, only not spelled the same."




P: "Mr. Cobb has a job offer he would like to discuss with you."
A: "Like a work placement?"
C: "Not exactly."

I have just recently "this morning" watched 12 Angry Men (1957). A recommendation made by several individuals also posting in this thread. I must say, I was absolutely enthralled by the movie, the drama, the action, all within one room for the majority of the film. For those interested, I was able to locate a full length movie of it here 12 Angry Men (1957) FULL - YouTube .
