The Kidd Vs. The American
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD
THE AMERICAN is hardly the movie you think it is. It isn’t a spy movie by any means. It isn’t an action film either. Therefore, if you’re looking for something along the lines, you might want to check your expectations at the door. Instead, THE AMERICAN is a film that serves as a [...]
The Kidd Vs. Going The Distance
Before The Kidd walked into the theatre to see GOING THE DISTANCE, I had the feeling that it could go 1 of 2 ways: either be incredibly funny or ridiculously lame. Well, Lady Luck must have been in my corner, or there must have been a horseshoe up my ass, or maybe there was a [...]
The Kidd Vs. The Last Exorcism
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD
Over the years, The Kidd has found that people like their horror films to come in different ways. There are those of you who like the blood and the gore. You like the idea of one (or two) clearly defined killers who stalk their victims before violently killing them, often in some creative [...]
The Kidd Vs. Piranha 3D
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD
What exactly are you expecting out of PIRANHA 3D? Are you looking for some highly intelligent, well-scripted, tremendously acted piece of cinema? Or are you looking for an over-the-top outrageous flick about piranha that take over a lake during Spring Break, and attempt to eat everyone who enters its waters? Because, if it’s [...]
The Kidd Vs. The Switch
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD
On the surface, one might think that a film based around Jason Bateman spilling out another man’s jizz and replacing it with his own would lead to all sorts of hilarity. That is where one would be horribly wrong, leading you to find yourself trapped watching THE SWITCH, an ultra-bland flick that chooses [...]
The Kidd Vs. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD
I am The Infamous Billy The Kidd… and this is my review of SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD, telling you just how incredibly awesome this movie is…
ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…!!!
I’ve really tried to think this review as best as I can, but I honestly have no idea where to start, because the more [...]
The Kidd Vs. The Expendables
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD
They certainly don’t make them like this anymore. THE EXPENDABLES is a throwback to the big, loud, explosive action movies of yesteryear that we don’t see much of these days. It’s filled with every action cliche in the book, from its cheesy dialogue chock full of one-liners to its insistence to blowing up [...]
The Kidd Vs. Eat Pray Love
There’s a reason Elizabeth Gilbert’s post-divorce memoir Eat Pray Love has found itself on best-seller lists for the better part of 3 years. This isn’t your typical story of a woman who is stuck in a place of unhappiness as she makes her way through life and just deals with it. Often we read books [...]
The Kidd Vs. Winter’s Bone
There’s a reason Jennifer Lawrence is receiving all sorts of acclaim for her stellar performance as the forced-into-action heroine Ree Dolly in WINTER’S BONE. She is absolutely brilliant as the 17-year-old forced to abandon all hopes and dreams and any sense of normalcy, in order to provide for her siblings and mentally sick mother, all [...]
The Kidd Vs. The Other Guys
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD
The Kidd isn’t a big Will Ferrell fan. I’ve really enjoyed him in a few movies – OLD SCHOOL, ELF, and, on a more serious note, STRANGER THAN FICTION. But, when it comes to his comedies, particularly when he pairs up with writer/director/producer Adam McKay, it always feels as if I’m watching Ferrell [...]
