Kick-Ass Review

Kick-Ass premiered last week amongst a blaze of publicity. Produced by Brad Pitt, directed by Matthew Vaughn and penned by Jonathan Ross' Mrs.; Jane Goldman. It was bound to garner some press attention especially as it features a 12 year old assassin called Hit Girl who only answers to her vigilante father "Big Daddy". Funnily enough the Daily mail took issue with that. Publicity and big names aside the film opened in cinemas yesterday and whilst we had high hopes, they weren't completely dashed. It's not so much a criticism but the film flits from comedy, to fantasy and right back to drama and more often than not it does it in a clumsy manner. Ok, so maybe it was a criticism. But the transition was not as smooth as one would have hoped for. Highpoints for us funnily enough came in the form of "Hit Girl". Perhaps because she was a foul mouthed child assassin that riled the Daily Mail but she was often the highlight and saviour of the film in more ways than one. A particular low point for us came in the form of Christopher "McLovin"Mintz-Plasse whose ropey acting and clunky dialogue left us questioning the longevity of his career post Superbad. Aaron Johnson did well as the hero of the film with impressive acting and a thoroughly convincing American accent. Overall the film is a good watch, providing some laughs, drama and a strong plot but we couldn't help feel it didn't achieve its full potential.

P Diddy and Crystal Palace may collaborate

None other than the BBC are reporting that P Diddy is thinking of moving into the football business. With the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy's publicist confirming the matter to the Beeb, the administrator of Crystal Palace has said he would "welcome an approach" by the rap star. Mr Guilfoyle, of The P&A Partnership financial firm, said he was "a big hip-hop fan" and would be "delighted if P-Diddy wanted to buy Crystal Palace". In January, Palace had 10 points deducted after going into administration. They are currently fourth from bottom in the Championship having previously been pushing for a play-off place.

Fiddy tells us to expect the unexpected

According to reports 50 Cent is recording a dance album, inspired by his trips to European clubs. 50 said: "I went to a nightclub after party. It was different music after a while. The music they were playing before they were playing the music I created was more up-tempo, more dance.

"I wanted to make a song like that, so I went into the studio. Because I'm travelling with my live band, I took the band with me and we sequenced it and recorded the actual record while we was out there."

In an attempt to improve lacklustre sales He added: "I won't allow myself to be placed in a box where I can only do one style, or do one kind of music.

"They should expect the unexpected on this one. If they can understand how I enjoy different genres of music and different styles, for the people who have various tastes in music, they'll really like it." we're not gonna hold our breath on this one.

Oscars

Whilst Oscar fashion for men often proves to be particularly dull. Three gents stood out from the crowd on Sunday's red carpet. Tom Ford always cuts a dapper figure because well quite frankly he's Tom Ford. Woody Harrelson breaks the mould in a custom designed Burberry tux made entirely out of hemp. And finally Robert Downey Jr brings the cool by rocking a blue bow tie and trainers.
