Death at a Funeral

A remake of the 2007 British film, this one goes for a different audience with Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, & Tracy Morgan. Zoe Saldana, Luke Wilson, Peter Dinklage, and Danny Glover are along for some laughs (hopefully). The preview is OK, but director Neil Labute's usual comedic stylings (In the Company of Men) are much more subtle.

Kick-Ass
Based on the comic book, some ordinary people try to become superheroes. Nicolas Cage and Aaron Johnson star, but 12 year old Chloe Moretz is said to steal the show. I wouldn't expect much from this were it not for director Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake) who can hit one out with the right material. Trailer here.
