Cinephile No. 486 "Kingsman: The Secret Service"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

"Kingsman: The Secret Service" was over the top in all sorts of comic book ways. The violence, outfits, gadgets, language and the way each character carries his/herself screamed of a good old fashioned comic book. At first, I wondered what great actors like Colin Firth and Michael Caine were doing in such a film, but both add a level of seriousness and believability that would have been sorely missed without them. I don't know if I would recommend this movie for everyone, but if you believe comic book movies have gotten a little too serious then this is your movies. 

 

Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
