I could tell by the previews that this wasn't going to be a good movie and that this story shouldn't be told in a corney "hollywood action movie with bad dialog" way. But to say "play the race card to lure the viewers in"?? Huh? Admittedly I haven't seen this movie and have no interest in it but you gotta explain that one.
Again I'm not suggesting this movie does a good job of this but are you suggesting that any movie that highlights the black experience in a war is playing the race card? I think you guys are starting to kinda overuse that completely racially incensitive term just a little bit now but I'd love to hear you explain it. I didn't see the film so educate me.

I'm suggesting that deliberately marketing any film as a 'black' film is disingenuous and will in fact do more to harm the success of the film and help. And who or what are you referring to as 'you guys'?

"Shame" - about sex addiction (I think) but a bleak, boring and wholly depressing piece of film making. And not in the least bit arousing despite its title.
Re: What is The Last Movie You Watched?

You should check out a movie called Super, starring Rainn Wilson, if it's available in the UK. Similar to Kick Ass in that it's about a regular guy who gets fed up and becomes a superhero. It's funny, dark, twisted, and surprisingly violent. Great movie.
Re: What is The Last Movie You Watched?
Kick-Ass is instantly forgettable, a silly film about things that could never happen in real life but ok, its a cartoon-strip fantasy, but let's be honest, Nicolas Cage owes his career to his uncle, his inability to even to pretend to act is embarrassing. Anyone smothered in paraffin/gasoline in a confined space where guns are being fired and hot bullets flying around like confetti at a wedding would have been toast long before the ditzy jailbait with a pink wig turned up to rescue dad while firing her own shots from guns with recoil that would throw most 10-year olds against the wall.
The film is RUBBISH, Herge's Adventures of Tin-Tin should be preferred.
