Re: [scifinoir2] Kick Ass lightly taps butt
I loved Kick Ass! It was one of the best action movies I've seen in a long time. i hope they get a part 2 On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 8:09 AM, Kelwyn ravena...@yahoo.com wrote: http://www.imdb.com/news/ni2121050/ Perhaps the fanboy audience that was panting for Matthew Vaughn's reinvention of the superhero movie Kick-Ass was just too young to get in.

I can offer nothing in regard to Kick-A$$'s box performance, but I can say that I see no need whatsoever to have remade Death at a Funeral.

Re: [scifinoir2] Kick Ass lightly taps butt
As rave said in his review, Peter Dinklage reprised his role. Matthew Macfadyen played the lead, with Keeley Hawes as his love interest. Alan Tudyk (Wash from Firefly) played the fiance who gets the dose of acid just before the funeral. No one else of immediate name recognition, but here's the IMDb link. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795368/ On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 9:00 AM, Mike Street streetfor...@gmail.com wrote: I didn't know this was a remake...who was in the original?

It was an English film. IIRC Allan Tudyk was in the cast. Justin On 2010-04-18, at 9:00 AM, Mike Street streetfor...@gmail.com wrote: I didn't know this was a remake...who was in the original?
