The day after Cinema Days I was away to London to see an almost-finished version of Kick-Ass, the cinema adaptation of Mark Milar's comic. Fuller reviews have to wait until closer to release. However...as someone said, it's the sort of film that will have The Daily Mail and Fox News 'shitting kittens...' but when it's actually seen in its entirety it's a wonderfully executed guilty pleasure. Controversy over violence and language aside it's got a great story at its heart (kid tries to be a superhero and as well as inspiring others, pays the consequences). Think Pulp Fiction meets Clerks meets John Woo. I fully expect it to feature on my Top 5 films of the year.
Right after getting back from LeicesteR and London I was into some new design work for a film DVD/film distributor and which based on my experiences so far - and their very positive reaction - should prove fun and rewarding over the months to come. Equally the PEACE Fund auctions go on, so I encourage you to visit (and spread word about) the various items up there which are beiNG sold to raise money to help with coping with the horrendous situation out there. (See previous blog post for more info).
And so, into February... where does the year go?
