Kick-Ass is a movie that is hard to duplicate in its value of humor and over the top violence that is easy to watch and not offsetting of the moral message it sends to the audience beautifully. In the same way that Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead slowly goes from parody to becoming an honestly scary zombie film in the final act, Kick-Ass starts as an awkward teen comedy but becomes a wildly enjoyable action adventure that simply destroys many of the Marvel Universe films when it comes to pure entertainment. A film that has already offended many, Kick-Ass may not be one of those movies that crosses every demographic (I don’t think your grandma will like it when Hit Girl uses the c-word and Roger Ebert has already blanched at the idea that the same character gets punched repeatedly by a grown man … somewhat missing the point that said grown man is a horrible human being who is merely being presented as such), but it delivers on every level for the demographic that is interested in seeing the latest and greatest zero-to-hero story. Expertly directed, well-performed, and cleverly structured, the biggest problem with Kick-Ass is that we’ll have to wait a few years for the sequel.

Aaron Johnson (The Greatest) stars as Dave Lizewski, an awkward kid who can’t talk to the prettiest girl at school (Lyndsy Fonseca) and spends his days in the comic book store with his two wisecracking buddies (Evan Peters and Clark Duke). Dave also gets beat up a lot and is tired of looking the other way as criminals take over his neighborhood. He’s had enough and he begins to wonder why no one has ever put on a costume and fought crime like the heroes of the books they read every day. Dave will be the first. He will be Kick-Ass.

Meanwhile, Chris D’Amico (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) has a brutal gangster father named Frank (the great Mark Strong), who seems reluctant to pass the baton to his son. Frank D’Amico is clearly a super-villain but what will his son become in this universe? Even after he turns into Red Mist, the answer to that question is unclear.

Meanwhile again, a young girl named Mindy Macready (Chloe Grace Moretz) is introduced with her father Damon (Nicolas Cage) shooting her square in the chest. Of course, she has a bulletproof vest on but the message (that I think some critics are missing) is that this is not your typical father-daughter relationship. Damon has a dark, twisted past and he’s basically been abusing his daughter by turning her into a killing machine also known as Hit Girl to use him for his own revenge. Damon’s alter ego is a chubbier Batman known as Big Daddy. Kick-Ass, Hit Girl, Red Mist, and Big Daddy will eventually unite, pull apart, and come back together again for an amazing climax that truly needs to be seen by anyone who dares call themselves an action fan.

The actors perform their hearts out in an epic, over the top thrill ride that will have the audience cheering by the end. This movie is a breath of fresh air into the standardized super hero movies that we’re all used to seeing.

Radar information suggests the meteor landed in the southwest corner of Wisconsin, either Grant or Lafayette counties, said Ashley Sears, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Milwaukee office. Officials in both counties said no one has reported seeing a meteor or crater.

But if you missed the show Wednesday night that was seen from Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin as far away as St. Louis, there isn’t much of a chance you’ll see another one.

You can probably see meteor showers if the sky is clear the next few nights, but to see another one this large is a long shot, said Michael Briley, a physics professor and astronomer at the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh.

Forecasters said there is a meteor shower called gamma virginids occurring from April 4 through April 21, with peak activity Wednesday and Thursday.

Elementary schools are next. In East London, to celebrate Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender History Month, primary school students watched a special adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet renamed Romeo and Julian. Stories covered in the lessons at George Tomlinson School included a fairytale about a prince who turns down three princesses before falling in love with one of their brothers and the tale of Roy and Silo – two male penguins who fall in love.

We as parents cannot remain passive about this. Even if you are not a parent and especially if you are a youth group leader, you need to make the parents in your life aware of this issue. Many parents are not aware of this movement or think that it will not affect their child. This lax attitude leads to us holding our heads when it is too late.

I’ll tell you how this attitude personally affected me. I attended an all-women liberal arts college in Wellesley, Massachusetts. During our first year orientation, we gathered in the common room where mats were laid out of us. A senior from the Gay and Lesbian Association (GALA) asked us to lie down on the mat and close our eyes. Scared to death, at 17 fresh off the plane from Lahore, Pakistan, I had no clue what they expected from us. It wasn’t anything promiscuous, God forbid. They just asked us to close our eyes and imagine a world where daddies were only married to daddies and mommies were married to mommies and if I was a little girl in that world, who liked the little boy across the street but I couldn’t because mommies could only marry mommies. Very innocent, the words.

Those words stuck with me and I still remember them after 17 years. “Once you have the vocabulary to talk with young children about homosexuality, it becomes very easy,” says Dr. Justin Richardson, a Harvard-educated psychiatrist and director of Columbia University’s Center for Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Mental Health. Richardson says educators need to aid the pre-homosexual child with a supportive school environment, paving the way for his later coming out. He claims that a child’s sexual orientation is determined very early in life around four years of age, so why not prepare the pre-homosexual child for the inevitable? This quote by Dr. Richardson came from a talk he delivered ten years ago at a teachers’ conference. This agenda is at work in our public school system and the fitnah has created is real.

Also in my student orientation, I heard a young, black woman talk about her life as a poor, black, gay teenager. I met many intelligent women who were kind and gentle and gay. I remember being admonished by several housemates for thinking that homosexuality was a mental abnormality akin to physical abnormalities. I was figuratively ‘hypnotised’ into believing that it was natural for 10% of the human race to be homosexual believing that they could not control themselves. That December, when I went to visit my parents over winter break, my sister snapped me out of my brainwashed state. She said ‘Apa! Listen to yourself.’

In psychology, the study of brainwashing, often referred to as thought reform, falls into the sphere of “social influence.” According to Julia Layton, author of How Brainwashing Works, “social influence happens every minute of every day. It’s the collection of ways in which people can change other people’s attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. For instance, the compliance method aims to produce a change in a person’s behavior and is not concerned with his attitudes or beliefs. It’s the “Just do it” approach. Persuasion, on the other hand, aims for a change in attitude, or “Do it because it’ll make you feel accepted/good/happy/healthy/successful.”

The education method (which is called the “propaganda method” when you don’t believe in what’s being taught) goes for the social-influence goal, trying to affect a change in the person’s beliefs, along the
lines of “Do it because you know it’s the right thing to do.” Brainwashing is a severe form of social influence that combines all of these approaches to cause changes in an individual’s way of thinking without that person’s consent and often against his will.

I was 17; away from home but brimming with the confidence that children raised in a Muslim country exude. Now, imagine your middle schooler or your teen. Her politically correct classmates surround her; she doesn’t know what to say when her best honor society buddy starts exhibiting ‘homosexual’ traits. Imagine being a student whose religion teaches her that homosexuality is a sin being in that environment. Being judged by their peers because they did not remain silent in support. If you disagree with homosexuality you are called a bigot or a homophobe. Imagine your teachers and mentors who instruct you from 8 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon, framing their lessons around Day of Silence. The adolescent culture is liberal, and adolescents desire to fit in. The vast majority of conservative teens does not feel comfortable vocally opposing their culture and will not do so. We as adults, often don’t have the guts to speak up against homosexuality, let alone teenagers.

Alan Chambers, a gay man that has overcome unwanted homosexual desires, started a family, and is the author of Leaving Homosexuality says: “The Day of Silence leads to a slanted discussion about homosexuality…because students are being bombarded from every side on the issue of homosexuality…seemingly the only voices that are allowed or respected in the public school system are those from a pro-gay side. It’s important for everyone to have a voice on this issue and for every opinion to be expressed. If one side is going to be expressed, then the other should be as well.”

Northern Utah was struck with a 5.0-magnitude earthquake Thursday night.  Rich County in Northern Utah was hit with a 5.0-magnitude earthquake that was felt from Logan down to Provo. There are several reports that people in Idaho and Wyoming also felt the Utah quake. Early reports initially reported the quake at a 4.9 in magnitude.

The earthquake hit just before 6 pm mountain time. No damages or injuries have been reported. TV stations have been flooded with calls about the quake. Many people have reported that the quake felt like it created more of a rolling feeling.

A 5.0-magnitude earthquake is considered moderate, but could cause structural damage to older houses, according to ABC 4.

Having the ground shake reminds many people of the devastating earthquakes that have occurred in Haiti, Chile, Mexico and China. Those earthquakes were above a 7.0 in magnitude.
