The Review: Jim & Andy

Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond - The Story of Jim Carrey & Andy Kaufman Featuring a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton 9/10

Yeah, I know that is a long ass title. Koko, her friend, and I went to see this documentary Jim & Andy during the AFI Fest and it is really good. I had no idea what this was gonna be like because in recent years I have heard nothing but bad things about Jim Carrey and the last thing I saw him in, The Bad Batch, he didn't talk and I had no idea it was him until the credits when I saw his name. I know about Andy Kaufman through stand up and old footage from his wrestling days. Never saw Man On The Moon. This should have bored the shit out of me but it did the opposite.

Theater Whore: Kick Ass 2

Yay! A good movie! Seriously, this summer has been full of so much disappoint in the theaters that I am so glad that Kick Ass 2 didn’t suck. I don’t know what I would’ve done if it had been bad. Start a riot. Kick shit over. Or come home and write a strongly worded blog. Yeah. That’s closer to reality. I liked the first film a lot so I have been looking forward to this one for quite a while. 

Kick Ass comes back comes out of retirement after a bunch of others in the public have started wearing costumes and fighting crime. He and Hit Girl are in school and she has never stopped fighting crime. She has been adopted by her dad’s former partner and friend played by Morris Chestnut. He suspects that she is still fighting but she tells him she isn’t. Kick Ass joins a group called Justice Forever lead by Jim Carrey’s Colonel Stars And Stripes. Other include Battle Guy and Night-Bitch.
