When you think costumes, you think Super Heroes, right?

April Fools!  There was no post yesterday! Ha ha...  Okay so I'm more of a space cadet than a prankster.  Oops!  Oh well, here's the beginning of a well needed April's worth of some Halloween goodness:

Costumes go hand-in-hand with two things: Halloween and comics.  So let's kick off the month with some Kick-Ass!  Here's a film, quite unlike the likes of Spider-man and The Hulk.  We have three kids and a dad (Nicholas Cage,) all with no "super" powers, who decided to take crime into their own hands.  Batman?  No.  Foul-mouthed 11-year-olds? Yes.

Kick-Ass spawned from the mind of Mark Millar.  He says the comics, and henceforth film, are based on his childhood.  Millar and a couple buddies came up with their vigilante names and costumes, BUT never actually went out and put it to use.  Well, Kick-Ass is what could have happened had they.

I am so excited to see this flick!  For one, it has McLovin.  Secondly, Kick-Ass looks badass!  This (barely) teen-starred film is rated-R and rightly so.  Below, you'll find the general audience trailer, then the red-band trailer to follow.  I assume no 10-year-olds read my blog, but be warned: the second trailer features a dirty-mouthed little lady who can use her weapons.

Kick-Ass hit's theaters on April 16, 2010.
