Based on the Mark Millar comic book series, Kick-Ass is an ultra-violent oft-profane tale financed independently by director Matthew Vaughn. It’s about a high school student who decides to become a superhero though he has no powers or training.
Staying with graphic novels, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, Chris Evans, Columbus Short, Jason Patric and Zoe Saldana join hands for The Losers. It’s about a CIA black ops team on a mission to take down those who targeted them for assassination.
Clash of the Titans kicks off the blockbuster season with go-to guy Sam Worthington as Perseus, mortal son of Zeus (Liam Neeson), on a mission that entails battling the monsters of Greek mythology.
From one remake to another. Look forward to A Nightmare on Elm Street with Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger, the knife-fingered serial killer who haunts dreams.

The right movie diet for 2010: Part III
March
A delicious marriage of material and maker happened when Tim Burton took on Alice in Wonderland with usual suspects Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in tow. Add Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, Stephen Fry, Christopher Lee, Michael Sheen, Alan Rickman and Mia Wasikowska and there is little that could disappoint about this project. Burton’s new take returns Alice to Wonderland as a teen where she reunites with familiar friends to defeat the Red Queen. Burton, Depp, Wonderland - what more can I say? A 3-D release too.
Kicking off the animation segment of the year is How to Train Your Dragon, the tale of a young Viking sent to the North Sea to take on a dragon as a rite of passage. The visuals are pretty arresting and the humor seems spot on. With the 3-D phenomenon here to stay, this should be another immersive experience. Featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
Another good choice is The Runaways, a 1970s biopic about the first successful all-girl hard rock band of the title starring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, the film is based on the book by Cherie Currie, Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story.
