*** Source Code was gripping and compelling, but pretty much falls apart as soon as you think about it too carefully. It mostly works while you’re caught up in it though.
**** Easy A. Awesome. If you liked Heathers or Mean Girls (I need to see that again and see if it holds up after all this time), you will like this. It’s very smart and well-written and funny, and Emma Stone is great.
** Teknolust. I like Tilda Swinton, a lot. I wasn’t expecting much out of Teknolust beyond the pleasure of watching Tilda Swinton, and I wasn’t surprised — it was really bad. But even so, I sat through the whole thing. I’m not sure who I’d recommend it to; fans of Tilda Swinton and/or those with a high tolerance for cheese and nonsense.
*** X-Men: First Class was a good time. Not much else to say about it.
*** Kick Ass was a lot of fun. I especially liked the homages to various superhero and action movies and characters (particularly the Matrix lobby scene), though it walked the line between homage and derivative. It’s uh… really violent, with the vast majority of the gore perpetrated by a sweet-faced, sailor-mouthed 14-ish-year-old. This is funny, but also somewhat disturbing. I wonder if the sequel will be any good.
