If you liked Kick-Ass, wait until you get a load of Super!

"Super" directed by James Gunn starring Rainn Wilson, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, Nathan Fillion and Ellen Page is yet another superhero film that brings you into the lives of real people trying to be real superheros leaving superpowers by the wayside. I think Kick-Ass left an impression on people because it was marketed as a fun superhero film, prominently displaying McLovin in their marketing campaign. Little did people know they'd find an eleven year old Hit Girl cursing up a storm and dismembering bad guys. With "Super" it's pretty clear what you're in for, especially with this clip. "Super" is gaining pretty good buzz after airing at the Toronto International Film Festival.

James McAvoy to be cast as Charles Xavier in X-Men film reboot

The X-Men reboot, X-Men: First Class (to be directed by Matthew Vaughn), has cast James McAvoy to play a young Charles Xavier. McAvoy's film credentials include Wanted, The Last King of Scotland and The Chronicles or Narnia. If you can imagine Patrick Stewart as a young man, it's not hard to picture James McAvoy. McAvoy is a solid actor, and I think this is setting the stage well for the X-Men reboot. Combine that with the semi-faithful adaptation of Matthew Vaugn's Kick-Ass, I think X-Men fans won't be disappointed. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Wolverine won't be in this film and that Cyclops will actually have a pair of balls!
