Kick Ass

Well so much for updating regularly, I was intending to post every few days or so but for some unknown reason (probably slackness) I haven't updated for a while.
Updates since then have been that I have not being doing so well with the ol' Script Frenzy. I changed my story idea which helped but then my enthusiasm for the whole thing just kind of collapsed. However I am still giving my full support to Erik (have even offered to work on his script with him if he gets stuck) and am still attending the write-ins.
A couple of Saturdays ago I went to see Kick Ass with Erik and a couple of friends. Erik has been in a rabid fanboy frenzy about this movie ever since he first heard about it. We've both read the comic collection (looking forward to future issues too) and looked forward to seeing the film.
I'm not sure how many other countries the film has an R18 rating in. I had a good laugh during a walk recently in Newmarket where I saw a poster next to the Kick Ass movie poster stating that if you were under 18 and wanted to see the movie, you can't. Then again I remember being underage and wanting to see certain movies, being frustrated that I couldn't.. well until the DVD release anyway. I think they had DVDs then..
The movie is quite violent and while it is funny in parts some of it is kinda dark. However I enjoyed it and laughed, cheered and even went 'aww' at a few scenes. Definitely not a movie for everyone but one for those who enjoy action/comedy/superhero movies who are not easily offended.
Erik is planning on seeing it again on Tuesday so I might be able to update this post with more thoughts after we go and see it again. There's also some other movies coming out soon that I am looking forward to seeing.
In other news tomorrow I am heading up to the Bay of Islands for a work famil aboard the overnight cruise ship Ipipiri. Working in the travel and tourism industry rocks!
