Thought Id put up a movie review every now and then.
Last night I watched two films, the first STAY ALIVE, the second JACKASS 2.
STAY ALIVE
After the brutal death of a friend, a group of friends find themselves in possession of a video-game called "Stay Alive," a blood-curdling true story of a 17th century noblewoman known as the Blood Countess. After playing the game when they know they shouldn't, however, the friends realize that once they die in the game--they die for real. As their numbers begin dropping and as they begin dying in the ways they died in the game, the remaining friends realize they must defeat the Blood Countess or accept their fates.
Its a standard bump em off by the numbers. People who like this genre will love this film. Its like the Ring (but not as scary) for video games. Its a bunch of no-names, a couple of hottie chicks and Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle. It was entertainment, fluffy, full of plot holes; but this reviewer enjoyed the film as popcorn. Some funny moments, some scary ones, and all wrapped up nicely with realistic looking effects. Not a thinker, but sometimes, you dont really want to think.
6/10
JACKASS 2
Chris Pontius, Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, and the whole crew return to the screen to raise the stakes higher than ever before.
Old people should stay away from this 'movie'. It's not really a movie. Its 30 year old guys plying some truly grotesque tricks on each other. Its Spike Jonze (Director of Being John Malkovich and heap of music vids) dressing like a 90 year old woman and hanging her tits out, and then a 90 year old grandpa with two saggy nuts hanging out of his shorts. Its Knoxville, championing his claim to be the modern day Evil Kenevil by riding rockets, getting shot by anti terror bombs. Its Ehran Mcgehrey getting his teeth knocked out, wearing a beard of pubic hair (funniest trick in the film) while pretending to be a terrorist. Its wee-man getting electrocuted, Steve-o putting a massive hook in his mouth and swimming with sharks, Bam Margera branding his arse with a cow brander. Not for the feint hearted, this film raises the ante on the Dirty Sanchez boys and barely leaves them alive enough for part 3.
