Novocaine review – Jack Quaid is put through the grinder in ultraviolent action comedy

A man’s inability to feel pain comes in handy in this extravagantly gory bank heist caper Risk-averse San Diego assistant bank manager Nathan Caine (Jack Quaid) lives a cautious, cotton wool-wrapped life. It’s not that he’s afraid of getting hurt. Quite the opposite, since a rare genetic abnormality means he’s unable to feel pain. Rather, Nathan is concerned that because of his sensory quirk he risks inadvertently injuring himself. When the girl of his dreams, sparky fellow bank employee Sherry (Amber Midthunder), is abducted during a heist, and Nathan embarks on an off-the-cuff rescue mission, his unusual condition suddenly comes in handy. While Nathan may feel no pain, the audience certainly does: this is an amped-up, cartoonish blitzkrieg of ultraviolence and – fair warning – a bit of an endurance test if deep-fried fingers and snapped bones give you the ick. Directors Robert Olsen and Dan Berk take a sadistic glee in dreaming up extravagant horrors to inflict on their irrepressib...

In Spite Of Criticism, Khloé Kardashian Is Really Not Scared To Tell Kim Kardashian The Truth

The Good American founder, 38, gives Kim some constructive criticism in the latest teaser for season 2 of The Kardashians when they talk about the consequences of her remark to Variety that women should "get your f—-ing ass up to work." The SKIMS founder, 41, comments to her sister, "You can see all of the criticism on the Variety article. No one understands you, Khloé replies. Kim says, "I'm embarrassed, and I can see why people were offended. Following the uproar, Kim apologized in a Good Morning America interview. In March, she clarified, "It wasn't a sweeping comment toward women or to feel like I don't value the labor or think that they don't work hard. Kim also discusses how she is going through an independent phase after her divorce from Kanye West. She says, "I genuinely feel like I've discovered my self-esteem." The teaser also includes some behind-the-scenes footage of her getting ready to wear Marilyn Monroe's famous "Happy Birthday Mr. President" outfit as she prepared to walk the red carpet at this year's Met Gala, to which she responds, "Honey, I'm the Marilyn and the Jackie." Kendall Jenner, the younger sister, too, seemed to be relishing her freedom. The 26-year-old founder of 818 Tequila exclaims, "I believe as If I'm becoming my own woman." I aspire to have my own business. As Kendall advances in status, Kourtney becomes a wife and puts on her bridal gown before getting hitched to Travis Barker. When Khloé isn't giving Kim advice, she's still coping with the fallout from her ex Tristan Thompson's affair as she gets ready to give birth to a child. Khloé says of the affair, "Going through what I came through was extremely challenging. Simply put, I feel like a fish in a fishbowl. She adds, "I'm ready," and describes the newborn, who was born early last month, as "very exciting.
