It doesn’t show us that WOM was great or good either    (and I actually enjoyed Expendables 2 as a stupid movie).

 

Am i the only one that LOVED Expendables 2? 

Also, i like it way more than the 1st one with just this scene

 

Definitely an Oscar Clip

So dead in here for a Friday, must be summer basically being over. Good riddance, the quality just hasn't been there this year.

[MovieGuyKyle17]

I'm sad that Kick-Ass 2 didn't get more business. I loved both and really want a 3rd

[grim22]

Finally watched "The Conjuring", it was a pretty well made movie with some cool scares, not deserving of a R rating though IMO.

Belgian.

The first Kick-Ass wasn't a hit theatrically (after all the press online building it up as a breakout), it didn't take off on home video and none of its cast broke out elsewhere. The only real surprise here is Universal being dumb enough to bankroll it.

Kik-ass grossed $96m with a budget of $30m.Who is dumb?
