Lights, camera, couch! Herewith, four DVD picks for a night of home
entertainment.
Kick-Ass
If
youre feeling frumpy after too many holiday treats, pick up Kick-Ass
to get yourself feeling more like a superhero. Aaron Johnson and Nicolas
Cage do a pretty good job of defending the world from villains, but its
Chloë Moretzs portrayal of Hit Girl that will get you practicing your
knife skills and high kicks.
Jennifer Nachshen, Montreal editor
(English edition)
Heartbreaker
Whats
better than a rom-com? A French rom-com complete with a tribute to Dirty
Dancings and some Wham thrown into the mix. Starring the ultra cool
Vanessa Paradis and handsome Parisian Romain Duris, Heartbreaker
is the story of Alex, a professional Lothario who loses his cool when
his latest assignment gets a tad too personal.

Winters
Bone
Justin Bieber isnt the only teen phenom
headlining a film these days. Actress Jennifer Lawrence was 18 when she
starred in this book adaptation about twisted family ties in the Ozarks.
Her performance already has a Golden Globe nom and the same is sure to
come from Oscar.
Joy Pecknold, Vancouver editor
Smash
His Camera
Artist, stalker, scumbagphotographer Ron
Gallela has been called all of the above, and more. The documentary,
spanning decades in the career of the man who was sued by Jackie
Kennedy, socked in the jaw by Marlon Brando and adored by Andy Warhol,
is a nostalgic and insightful look into the life of a celebrity
paparazzo.
Maria Tallarico, Managing editor
