Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass may turn out to be the most exciting film of SXSW 2010. The odd-ball take on modern-day superheroes is a supremely twisted, fun take on the genre tale that lives up to its name, despite some missteps here and there.
Umm…shit. I can’t say I’m a Tron fanboy by any stretch, but Disney’s new trailer for the December 2010-slated sequel, Tron Legacy, is pretty damn awesome. I have to think that with a visual film like this, 3D rendering is the right choice and should prove a big pay off. Jeff Bridges, too, looks solid returning as Flynn.

Following the 82nd Annual Academy Awards comes a second trailer for the upcoming Iron Man 2. This take gives us a look at some of the new elements to the story, such as Stark’s on-to-go suit (or whatever you might call it), as well as Rourke’s character Whiplash; which I still contend is going to be the best part of the film.
Christopher Nolan looks to have another hit on his hands. Damn if Inception doesn’t look to be a fascinating mind-bender.
“Elementary, my dear Watson.”

I was definitely a fan of the first Iron Man, so I’m positively giddy at the release of the official trailer for the sequel, Iron Man 2. This time around, however, I think what piques my interest most of all is Mickey Rourke and his character Whiplash. Rourke’s previous film, The Wrestler, is one of my all-time favorites, in fact.
