Check It. Bad Lieutenant.

Werner Herzog's (Grizzly Man, Rescue Dawn) Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans is over-acted and sort of unbelievable, but also pretty cool.

Nic Cage is a bad cop, and Eva Mendes plays his junkie prostitute girlfriend. It's crazy. Cage's Terence McDonagh is a proponent of a type of vigilante justice that isn't quite right, but it's fun to watch. His wild laughter makes it all the more insane, but keeps you intrigued.

Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, and Jennifer Coolidge also appear in the film, out on DVD today.

Check It. Mika's "Kick-Ass" music video [Guest Post].

The patron saint for lost boys and girls (who want to stay lost) assembles yet another dance-youth anthem, this time with GaGa’s RedOne tucked into his shiny tailcoat pocket.

Curly locked pop-sensation Mika helms the title-track and the promotional buzz for upcoming super-hero comedy flick Kick-Ass, due out in theaters April 16. The music video premiered yesterday and is making its way through the blog circuit faster than a speeding bullet. After all, this is a superhero movie...or is it?

The cast of pimple-faced pseudo-heroes is led by relative newbie Aaron Johnson (The Illusionist) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin’ to us). These crimefighters opt for DIY-costumes and goofy theatrics, but are on that noble quest to achieve what every nerd dreams of–chicks. You’ll find yourself wondering why Nicolas Cage is in this movie, and why his ass isn’t the one being kicked. It's a mystery that looms overhead like a Bat Signal with a blown fuse, so while I go solve that crime against cinema, enjoy "Kick-Ass."
