Springtime Double Feature: Super vs. Sucker Punch
Preface: This was supposed to be a review of Super, but I couldn’t help contrasting the craziness in Super with the craziness in Sucker Punch. Both James Gunn and Zack Snyder are swinging for the fences with these movies, but Gunn hits it out of the park while Snyder epically whiffs. Both movies have the distinction of being totally batshit insane, but only one of them resonates. READ MORE!

Review: Kick-Ass
Matthew Vaughn has crafted the best superhero movie this side of Watchmen in Kick-Ass. The movie’s tone is all-at-once hilarious, relentless and violent in all the right ways.
Dave Lizewski is your average comic-book nerd dreaming of something better. He spends the movie narrating for us in much the same way Jesse Eisenberg’s Columbus guides us through the rules and wackiness of the world of Zombieland, or the Fight Club-style lecturing and posturing of James McAvoy in Wanted.
