Bright and irreverent, "Kick-Ass" kind of does exactly that.
Luckily he meets up with other wannabe heroes – including a scene-stealing Nicolas Cage and Chloe Grace Moretz – who are as insane as they are incredible. "Kick-Ass": Tired of the typical comic book movie? Try out this energetic, slightly satirical 2010 action comedy about a young nerd (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, in his breakout role) who decides to become a superhero despite a lack of superpowers or even general fighting prowess. Firecracker action scenes, Mann's visceral thrills and a fully loaded cast from the stars to the supporting players make "Heat" a fire selection for your next stream. "Heat": Al Pacino and Robert De Niro shared the screen for the first time together in this vigorous crime classic directed by Michael Mann, following a gaggle of cops (led by Pacino) attempting to take down an elite gang of bank robbers (led by De Niro). It's lot of old classic genre fun mixed with new style and verve. "The Harder They Fall": Super stylish and slick, this all-Black Netflix Original Western is a good wild ride following outlaw leader Nat Love (Jonathan Majors) as he seeks out revenge against the sadistic gang leader Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) who murdered his family. With thrillingly stylish action sequences, a sharp cast, eye-catching visuals and a club-ready electronic score from The Chemical Brothers, "Hanna" will make you wish Wright would make another action movie, stat.
"Hanna": Who knew the guy behind stiff upper lip Brit Oscar stuff like "Pride & Prejudice," "Atonement" and "Anna Karenina" could kick so much butt with an action movie? We do now, thanks to Joe Wright's kickass 2011 teen spy thriller.
STUCK AT HOME COVID CRACK
Crack open a Corona and crack open one of the better action blockbusters this side of the millennium. "Fast Five": The first five "Fast & Furious" movies are all on Netflix now – and while spending time with the fambly is always nice (well, not ALWAYS nice *glares at "Fast X"*) if you're only watching one, you have to make it "Fast Five." The entry that really hit the NOS on the series, "Fast Five" features thrilling heist action – the perfect intersection between the franchise's on-the-ground and cartoonish sensibilities – entertaining performances and soapy yet sincere drama. "The Dark Knight": Only one of the best blockbusters ever made, Christopher Nolan's second Batman film is an excellent comic book story, an excellent crime saga and just a plain awesome action movie, all featuring one of the most iconic performances ever put on the big screen with Heath Ledger's take on the Joker.
Watch it, sweat out an ocean from all the tension, marvel at Tom Hanks' performance – especially the final moments – and then write the Academy an angry letter for somehow not nominating him. "Captain Phillips": Paul Greengrass ("United 93," the latter Bourne movies) sets his masterfully jittery docu-drama lens on this pulse-racing true-story thriller about a boat captain attempting to get himself and his crew out of a hostage situation on the high seas.
Go and stream away – you can get around to that to-do list tomorrow. So, to help make your nights in go as outstanding as possible, here's a list of 100 good movies – from awesome action flicks to cool choices for children to stellar sports stories and Will Ferrell singing to honor the great country of Iceland – you can currently find on Netflix. I'm not judging I'm doing the same thing as we speak. Staying at home? Sure, you could try to convince yourself that you're going to spend that time getting around to those cleaning projects you've been putting off or learning a new skill, but let's be honest: The reality is you're going to sit on the couch, snack away and stream something hopefully good.
