Recent Movie Review Spotlight: Jackass 3D

Jackass 3D movie review:


Jackass 3D is a 3D film and the third movie in the Jackass series. It follows the same premise as the past movies and the TV series. Although it has received mixed to positive reviews, it's a very funny movie for sure. Jackass 3D is, of course, in 3D which is a phase which has come and gone throughout recent history. Jackass 3D is more hit and miss than the last two films; few of the stunts really fall flat, but some make your sides hurt from laughing so hard (or by making sick) Jackass 3D promises you a dirty, painful time and it delivers across the board.


Johnny Knoxville assembles his insane crew once again. Along with; Bam Margera, Steve-O, Wee Man and the rest of their fearless and funny friends they create yet another round of outrageous pranks and stunts. Johnny Knoxville, once again leads the group as they perform ridiculous tasks that include animals, feces, flying dildos, and, well, more feces.


Although it is difficult to justify the cost of a 3D ticket, come back for a third time, you won't feel ripped-off. It's hard to tell when a Jackass bit will be funny or just make you feel sick.If you have never seen a Jackass movie before, It's really just a bunch of guys doing crazy and disturbing stunts all for the sake of a laugh. It's worth seeing, and if you're into the Jackass series, you'll absolutely LOVE this movie. And for everyone else, it is often hard not to laugh at some of their inventively stupid stunts.


It is one of the most consistently funny installments in the series, a testament to the universal humor to be found in men hitting each other in the groin, face, and butt. So, if "Poo Cocktail Supreme" and "Sweatsuit Cocktail" sound like they might be funny, then you'd better get to the theater soon, because this movie IS for you.

Recent Movie Spotlight: RED Movie Review

RED Movie Review:


RED starts with a slow opening, leaving you unsure of what to expect. I think it was marketed this way on purpose, leaving the result of this movie to be a total surprise to its viewer. Its plot hits almost everyone in a good way, whether it be Romance, Action, or Comedy. It is similar, in a way, to Burn After Reading, but in a good way. It has a form of independence that is not seen to often these days. It is well worth the price of admission.


RED stands for "retiRED and extremely dangerous" and follows Frank (Bruce Willis) a former CIA agent who is forced back into the job of killing, running and smashing skulls when he is randomly attacked after years off of duty. RED has a story that is better scripted and has loads of humor and romance, but what RED really has that many action movies never can match is two strong female leads who don't normally make a living in action films. RED is based on the DC Comics graphic novel of the same name by Warren Ellis.


*SPOILER*


It is about four people, three of them, Frank, Joe, Marvin, and Victoria all used to be the CIA's top agents - the fourth is a government worker involved with pensions. Unfortunately, they seem to fall in the spotlight of some bad people. When you throw in the CIA and a few corrupt people, bad things tend to happen.


*END SPOILER*


Final Review:


Overall, RED is one of the best movies around. In the top three I have seen this year. It's not the actors or actresses that make this movie what it is (although they do help). What it truly is, is a wonderful combination of popular genres. That makes it so this movie can really be enjoyed by any demographic.
