Nikita - Set-Up

Hitting the halfway point of the show’s final six-episode Fourth Season, “Step-Up” focuses on Birkhoff‘s (Aaron Stanford) suspicious behavior and the trouble Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) runs into in India after Amanda‘s (Melinda Clarke) manipulations make it appear as if she is privately funding Nikita’s terrorist network. Although Ryan‘s (Noah Bean) suspicions put everyone on edge it turns out Birkhoff isn’t a mole for Amanda but has hidden the likely target of Ronald Peller (Judd Nelson) who he believes has been swapped out with one of Amanda’s doubles. Fearing exposing the fake will endanger the real Peller, Birkhoff didn’t want to put his father in any more danger.

Kick-Ass 2

  • Title: Kick-Ass 2

Kick-Ass 2The work of comic writer Mark Millar (Wanted, Kick-Ass) is an acquired taste. Although he writes super-hero comics, complete with brightly-colored masks and spandex, his gritty nihilistic visions often don’t paint a very rosy picture of the world which he seems to believe are predominantly filled with irrevocably fucked-up human beings.

Realizing this, the original Kick-Ass movie made some big changes to the source material. The choice to undercut some of the more gruesome elements with humor worked in its favor (as it does with the sequel). However, the sequel is also stuck with a couple of large plot changes that have to be addressed in Kick-Ass 2.

The first movie saw Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) get the girl (something not even considered a remote possibility in the original work). The problem of what to do with Katie (Lyndsy Fonseca) is easily handled as the movie quickly, much to my disappointment, writes Fonseca’s character out of the movie never to be heard from, or spoken of, again.
