Date Night opens today; it’s the only new film opening nationwide, taking on the 3-D juggernaut (Alice, Dragon, Titans) that has dominated the box office for weeks. Date Night is the big screen pairing of Steve Carell and Tina Fey in a screwball sort of comedy about a night out gone horribly wrong. Critics have been pretty happy with the picture; while there’ve been a few snarky comments about the script and the director, most everyone enjoys watching the two stars. Date Night has snagged almost as many theaters as Clash of the Titans, and the two will likely battle it out for the box office crown.
Meanwhile, let’s talk Kick Ass some more. (Did I mention I’m looking forward to this one?) The film is rated R but mostly the trailers – the ones that screen in theaters -- have been PG. This is normal; very few theaters will screen trailers that aren’t for general audiences, even before an R rated film. But now, thanks to the Internets you can see the so called “red band” trailers (the background for the opening screen – “the following preview has been approved for …” is red, instead of green). Traffic for the Kick Ass red bands has been brisk, although there is some concern about violence, teen style sex talk, and the fact that a 13 year old girl uses the "c" word (not that "c" word. The other "c" word. No, wait, both of them) and it's tough to keep young people from watching it on their computer screens. Hey, I get it, I kept my kids out of R rated films until they were old enough to sneak in themselves. By then I figured I'd given it my best shot. Anyway, this is a foul mouthed trailer advertising a foul mouthed film, and you can watch it here (note that when you get to the site you will have to enter your age to see the trailer).

I have not read excellent reviews for this movie at all but at school people are raving about it. A certain friend told me "The whole audience was pee-ing themselves!" I figure it cannot be that bad!
