DVD & BLU-RAY PICKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kick-Ass<\/a><\/strong> (Universal): A post-modern\u00a0superhero<\/a> film based on the\u00a0comic book<\/a> by\u00a0Mark Millar<\/a> and\u00a0John Romita, Jr<\/a>. It is\u00a0the story of teenager (Aaron Johnson) who\u00a0decides to become a super-hero named Kick-Ass after purchasing a costume (even though he has no powers or training) and soon finds himself involved with a local gangster (Mark Strong<\/a>); his son (Christopher Mintz-Plasse); and a highly trained father and daughter vigilante duo (Nicolas Cage<\/a> and\u00a0Chloe Moretz<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Directed by\u00a0Matthew Vaughn<\/a>,\u00a0produced by\u00a0Brad Pitt<\/a> and written by Vaughn and\u00a0Jane Goldman<\/a>, the film was independently financed \u2013 at a budget of $28 million dollars \u2013 and gleefully subverts the superhero movie whilst also paying homage to it. It isn’t the awe-inspiring masterpiece that some would have you believe, but it is still a witty and interesting take on the comic-book genre.<\/p>\n
