      Damon Macready: So... Have you thought a little more about what you might want for your birthday?

      Mindy Macready: Can I get a puppy?

      Damon Macready: [surprised] You wanna get a dog?

      Mindy Macready: Yeah, a cuddly fluffy one, and a Bratz movie-star make over Sasha!

      [Damon is stunned]

      Mindy Macready: [laughs] I'm just fucking with you Daddy! Look, I'd love a Benchmade model 42 butterfly knife.

    Kick-Ass
    A great adaptation of the source material makes for a very entertaining and violent ride. Begs the question, what would a superhero be like in real life? If you dig violent action and can handle a lot of profanity, this movie could be for you. Chloe Grace Moretz without question steals the show in this one.
