Weekend Update: 3rd Week of April

We're almost to the summer movie season, and up until now most of the film released this year have just been filler, and awful filler at that. Still we occasionally get a film that requires our attention like the big release this weekend, Kick-Ass. Early reviews placed it as an unexpected gem of the superhero genre, but the film has recently caught some criticism from those worried that children will be negatively influenced by the onscreen profanity and violence. That's quite possibly one of the worst reasons not to like a movie.

Still don't expect huge box office from Kick-Ass this weekend, but expect it to at least cover the budget, a measly $28 million. As for the other release this weekend, Death at a Funeral, I have no respect for anyone going into that movie. My expectations are for it to get $10 million or less opening weekend. If your going to see a rated R comedy this weekend, at least try to see a good one. Other than that there doesn't seem to be much out there until next week.
