I am not really sure what exactly to think about this trailer. It is almost as if they wanted it to look like there is supposed to be nothing happening. If you ask me you do not put an assassin in a movie with huge guns and then not shoot the said guns. Not to mention you have some ladies holding guns in the movie making you think that George Clooney might take his old ass and put it in the backseat on this one.

My first impression of the trailer is not very good. It just looks boring from all angles. Maybe they wanted to make a super stripped down bond movie without all the fancy gadgets and some old dude getting his ass handed to him by a couple of women? Sounds like a winner. Regardless of how shitty this movie might be, I will watch it and tell you guys how much I wanted to scratch my eyes out. So, stay tuned for the exciting review of “The American” hopefully coming that opening weekend.

The American Release Date: September 1, 2010

If you have not seen the movie Kick-Ass by now you should scrounge up the change and get down to the theater real soon. It was a pretty good movie as far as the action/comedy genre goes. The creator of Kick-Ass, Mark Millar, has stated that here will be a comic book series coming out in the UK soon. It will be featured in CLiNT magazine, what ever the hell that is.

The comic book will obviously play off of the first movie and will be the basis of the second movie, “Kick-Ass: Balls to the Wall”. The only crappy thing about the whole situation is that the comic book will almost be exclusively targeted towards a UK audience. Now this is generally not a bad thing but when such a HUGE audience is in the states or even other parts the world it is almost as if they are shooting themselves in the foot on this one.

The production for “Kick-Ass: Balls to the Wall” has been scheduled for next years and will be released in theaters in 2012. The director will obviously be Matthew Vaughn which has been quoted:

“‘Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall’ has been scheduled for production in 2011 for a 2012 cinema release, but fans of the first movie can find out what happens two years in advance by picking up CLiNT.”

If you have seen the first film you know what type of things to happen in the second film. Actually if you have ready any comic books or seen any comic book based movies in the past 40 years you will know what type of film to expect. It is quite cliche but hopefully the jokes and actors can pull a lame script in to something that will explode when it hits theaters in 2012. Expect the same core group of actors in this one as the first one, which include: Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Chloe Moretz.

Iron Man 2

This was one of those movies that you wait for any you know will be a decent movie. The first Iron Man was a pretty dang good movie for the type of movie that it is. Well, Iron Man 2 takes that great stigma and feeling behind the movie and makes it part of this one as well. It takes the same type of action and packs it right on top of the where the original left off.

Iron Man 2 is in all reality just your average action packed sequel to a great movie. What I really like is that Jon Favreau really kept what was great in the movie. Not to mention that Robert Downey Jr. did an amazing job as he always does. The story flowed really well along with the characters that made it move, even Mickey Rourke who I thought would just slow it down and for good measure dumb it down.

There were a couple of things about the film that kind of sucked but they are not major things. For instance not casting Terrance Howard. This is not a huge screw up but having the original cast in a huge feature film is kind of a big deal. Not discrediting Don Cheadle, he was really good in the movie and should have been in the first one. The other thing that bugged me was the ending fight with Mickey Rourke and Robert Downey Jr., it was kind of lame and could have been done a LOT better. You will see what I mean when you watch the movie.

A movie directed by Jon Favreau which features Robert Downey Jr. you would expect some really witty and funny come backs ect. Well, it kind of falls short on those compared to movies like Couples Retreat and the first Iron Man. What it lacks for in comedy it makes up for in great acting and sweet action. If you have not guessed by now I LOVE action movies and will pretty much cream my pants when I see titles like “Iron Man” and “Transformers”.

I would really recommend seeing this one in the theaters, even though I hate telling people that. You will get your money out of this one like you did the first one, you know you did. So go make your own judgments about this film and come back here and let me know I am a sucker and dumb ass for action movies.
