Ah, I stand corrected =)
Hello. I'm alive =)
I've written a bunch of shorts which have won a bunch of awards, and also a few unproduced features, as well as an unpublished novel. I currently work as a director and screenwriter for TV, as well as a journalist for several magazines, and consider everything I've done as practice for my future screenwriting.
Yeah, they are definitely in the same vein, though I would say Jock Wick is the better movie by a long shot =)
Naaah... not really. It's a much more down to earth superhero flick, which for once doesn't feature big CGI monsters, and IMO this was a good thing. There are some really kickass fight scenes though, and I especially loved seeing a little girl chop peoples' heads off.

Why?
Wow, I hadn't even noticed the low rating. I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea, and anyone who expects a wall to wall slapstick comedy will surely get disappointed.
If you are going to check it out though, you should know that this is a sequel to Punching the Clown, which is funnier, and also a softer introduction to Henry Phillips' special brand of tragic comedy.
Great, thanks for the response =)
Just came back from watching it. I really liked the guts and gore, and thought it was nice to finally see a Marvel film which features real violence, and doesn't treat it's audience as fragile children which has to be sheltered. But other than the brutal fight scenes, it was nothing special.
