Aaaah, I knew you would like it! I just read a critique in the Houston Chronicle this morning and the critic described it, almost verbatim, as I did to you. It was a lot different than what I expected. I thought it might be a teeny-bopper movie worth a few giggles but it seemed to evolve or morff into a really cool, hip, action packed film. I think it may be destined to have a cult like following.

I saw it this afternoon. Enjoyed it very much and I think Turq would too. Was it what you expected? Over the week I had read and heard mixed reviews. I think some critics thought it was going to be a movie for kids because of Lionsgate's lousy marketing which made it seem so. It's not though in spite of that in front of me at the ticket counter was a mom and a bunch of young teen agers who had probably talked her into taking them to it. I was wondering what she was thinking as the movie played (it's R rated mainly for language and violence). This is the kind of role Nicholas Cage does best: a complete goof ball though he did a great job in "The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call -- New Orleans." But the star of the film was definitely Chloe Moretz in a great performance the Cage character's daughter. The extra bonus was to hear more of John Murphy's "Adagio in D Minor" which was first used in "Sunshine". Now you can hear the whole piece on his website. Due to some legal problems the score for "Sunshine" was never released on CD and the only versions of the piece most people could hear was the excerpt from the movie with voice over it. The work is almost like Mozart transported to the 21st century and one of the most spiritual pieces ever written: http://www.johnmurp hyofficial. com/tunesbox_ 1.html I think this movie will do better on DVD and Bluray and will probably be a bit cult hit. I may get the Bluray. Mike Dixon wrote: > Hey Bhairitu, I've got a movie for you to see that I think you'll like. I > just saw *Kick-Ass*. It's nothing like I thought it would be, thank god!
