"Kick Ass" looks to take names...and umm kick ass!

If you were like me and had given up on Nicolas Cage then I strongly
encourage you to go see Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.
Watching him paint that masterpiece in the role he was born to play
will completely change the way you look at him. He did such a good job
playing a man going insane that we can only assume that he is himself
insane. He's completely removed the ceiling for what kind of craziness
could come next. Kathleen Turner's accusation that he got drunk and
stole somebody's dog? Totally believe it. A bidding war with Leo
DiCaprio over a fossil? Not surprised.

Kick-Ass, starring Chloe Moretz as a trash talking 12-year-old hit
girl and Cage as her father, is a pretty decent looking movie that I
would have written off because Nic Cage was in it. After Bad
Lieutenant I'm like: "Nic Cage is in that? Hell yeah. I bet in the end
he chokes that bitch and teaches her who the boss is." It also helps
to have a red band trailer with a little girl kicking lots of ass.
(the movie title totally makes sense now!)
