"Kick-Ass" Movie Review

You may not have heard the buzz...maybe because there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of it for some reason, but this movie TOTALLY KICKED-ASS!

It's the hilarious story of a teenager who decides he wants to be a Super Hero.  It's that simple.  He has no powers, no gadgets.  He just says "Yeah.  I'm doin' it!" dons a wetsuit and work boots and he's off.

The results of this inspiring but incredibly stupid decision makes for some of the funniest entertainment and most "ouchy" violence (without being gratuitous like in horror-porn) you've ever seen. (*see definition of "ouchy" below) It reminded me of the action in Zombieland.  Another amazing movie.

When he hooks up with a father/daughter team (Nick Cage as he should be and a nervy and adorable Chloe Moretz) driven by vengeance, you are treated to some of the best ass-kicking in history.  5 Stars alone for the BEST father/daughter scene ever filmed! (you'll know it when you see it)

What's "ouchy" violence?  It's when you literally spend the entire movie screaming out "HOLY CRAP"; "OWWWW!; "JESUS CRIST!" OH MY GOD!" and "OUCH!" while gripping your seat arms or pulling your sweater up over your head (at least that's what I do).

You can't help but enjoy this movie.  It's funny, heart-warming and inspiring and impossible to look away.  You'll be rooting, cheering, and saying "ouchy" all the way through!!!!

What to Expect When You're Expected by David Javerbaum

I just used a little of my "me" time to read "What to Expect When You're Expected: A Fetus's Guide to the First Three Trimesters" by David Javerbaum.


Have you seen this book?

It's FANTASTIC!!!!

David Javerbaum, the writer, is the Executive Producer on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and you wouldn't naturally think that would qualify him to understand the POV of an embryo, but apparently it does.

The birth "plans" of Peggy and Ted Bradley made me spit out my seltzer.

Whether you're pregnant, an "empty-nester," or just like to make fun of people with children, this book will entertain you and keep you giggling.  I haven't had such a good time reading a parody since "The Preppy Handbook."

So, if you need a laugh, want a laugh, or are willing to consider a laugh...check it out!

The view from inside a uterus has never been so entertaining.

(Apparently, I have to disclose that I got a free copy of this book.  I did.  And I'm not embarrassed to say that I grabbed it and tucked it away like an old woman and Sweet n' Lows at the diner.)

AGON by Scott Burn

The BEST comic book ever!  Don't believe me?  Here's a review from someone who knows.   Okay, this was written by my boyfriend, but it IS amazing and I am so proud of him.  I hope you and any comic book lovers you know will check it out...if you can find it...it's sold out here in LA!
