Kick Ass, Solar, House, Black Dynamite, Extremely Loud, House, Ironman 2, Alice in Wonderland
Kick Ass: excellent. alternatively hilarious and moving. almost ruined by retarded climactic “boss fight”. Solar: excellent. both slapstick and insightful. includes brutal mockery of (strawman?) postmodernism. same author as book behind movie “Atonement”, which I also liked. House: pretty much the only soap opera I’ve ever enjoyed, in spite of some “repetitive formula” episodes. Black Dynamite: funny Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close: good. overly sentimental and leans too much on the Forrest Gump idiot/outsider child mouthpiece for the author’s cleverest observations, but also surprisingly touching by the end. Ironman 2: boring and dumb. high quality crap. Alice and Wonderland: extremely boring and occasionally charming
