Jackass 3D (2010) Movie Review (IMDB – 7.5)

The cult show of the previous decade, “Jackass” comes in 3D to water the spectator of all fluids imaginable. Lovers will be thrilled, others seek to understand this phenomenon.

The popularity of the three dimension is such that he could be out almost all the movies using this technology. Meanwhile “Star Wars” and “Titanic” instead of “Jackass.” Everyone thought the series dead and buried for the episode 2 in 2006 (or 2.5 in 2007). But as the fashion glasses, the excuse is fine to propose a new episode.

The time has flown under the bridge, it should remind Johnny Knoxville and his friends seem strange that live in the past. As if they were given a challenge to get the most possible harm or ridicule the most wickedly their peers. And they do it in different ways, including by sending balls or golf balls to the face, action sports and having accidents all means of transport they can touch.

Sometimes better is not worth trying to understand what makes a series or a feature film a success. Why can a room laugh out loud or crying like a Magdalen. Without doubt there is an audience for everything and there will always be people trying to push boundaries. It is the nature of things. Provided, however, there is a change (up or down), not stagnation.

Bruce Willis and Paul Walker are currently in negotiations to join the “heist gone wrong” movie “Set Up”, which is already set up (ahem) with rapper turned actor 50 Cent in the mix. One of many for 50 cent, who is apparently trying to conquer the action movie genre one gangsta movie at a time.

Written and directed by Mike Gunther, “Set Up” revolves around a group of friends who are catapulted into the middle of a diamond heist that turns deadly. How deadly? So deadly that 50 Cent gotta bust caps in asses to extricate themselves. Now that’s deadly!

Given the age differences in the cast, my guess is Bruce Willis won’t be playing one of those “friends” who engage Startupr in the film’s central heist. He’ll probably show up as a mysterious “The Man” figure (sorta like his “Expendables” role). Just guessing, of course. Walker looks like he can “hang” with 50 Cent, though.

Ol 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) is doing quite the bit of business in the movie world lately, though most of his stuff have been going straight to DVD, probably because the need to become a movie star has taken priority over actually picking, you know, quality movies.

In 2010 alone, IMDB.com lists Jackson with 5 movies coming out, and he’s already attached to four more for 2011. At this rate, he might not have the energy to bust a cap in fool’s asses after a long hard day on the set.

The news of the day in the film industry, is undoubtedly, the 36 minutes that have been leaked on the internet for the latest sequel of Harry Potter, whose world premiere will be this Friday November 19th. Of course, Warner Bros was took action by announcing it is developing a rigorous research to identify the source of this leak and who also claimed: “This is a serious violation of copyright and theft of property of Warner Brothers . We are working to remove the copies that may be available.”

The first 36 minutes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, would have been filtered, since last Monday, in a file download portal.

Although the situation reveals, once again, the serious problem of piracy, it is uncertain how much you could affect the box office this franchise, because we must remember that this movie is just the first part of the expected end of Harry Potter and his wizard friends.

Last year, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince released to limited areas in 2009, became one of the most pirated movies with more than 8 million illegal downloads, however, was the third sequel to the greatest collection of all franchise do at the box office figure of $ 933,959,197.

“Red” (2010) Movie Review – IMDB

Several good actors are given an appointment in “Red“, an action comedy without head or tail which still have a good time. Provided, of course, let’s expectations at the entrance of the room.

Frank (Bruce Willis) is a former CIA agent. Overnight his head was a price and many people try to kill him. It falls ill, he has just met Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) who sees his life-threatening stroke. To see more clearly, Grandpa decides to meet former comrades, including Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren).

With the ultimate aim to transpose all imaginable comic film, it’s time for “Red” Warren Ellis and the tandem Cully Hamner receive the royal treatment. The writings of only 66 pages long, have been enhanced with a completely stupid scenario that questions the spell bound seniors (those that seem possible to get rid of hand by sending retired) by the through an intense stream of prosecutions and tough scenes.

But please be warned to adhere well to the company. Laughter leads the way and nothing should be taken literally in this story too long but effective, although it had almost no gas at the outset. The introduction, particularly painful, accumulates all the cliches of the genre, like a variation of the recent “Knight and Day ‘, the less relevance.

This improves happily thereafter. Without taking anything away from the couple Bruce Willis and Mary-Louise Parker, their chemistry is far from being flawless. Rather the other characters who manage to make this feature interesting. Starting with John Malkovich, who delivers a delicious performance by paranoid tripped. His puns and his facial expressions prove irresistible, like those of Helen Mirren as a woman who convinces totally armed to the teeth. Few now Morgan Freeman is eventually eclipsed by the secondary distribution, which can count on Karl Urban, Brian Cox, Rebecca Pidgeon, Ernest Borgnine and the ghost too little this Richard Dreyfuss.

Without possessing the passion of a Christopher Nolan, a Zack Snyder or Ang Lee, Robert Schwentke proved a good choice behind the camera. Although the director has completely misled with his previous “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” here it seems quite in his element, playing with the cartoon aesthetic. His staging is dynamic and always appropriate, offering few surprises well fed, which in this way to marry the codes of the Western. Only the music is too intrusive.

Take a “Salt” interesting (which was not the case of production with Angelina Jolie), cross it with “Ocean’s Eleven” and you get a derivative of “Red,” which is anything but a remake of Gilles Carles. Empty but entertaining, the essay is a viable alternative to the much more intellectual ‘The Social Network. As otherwise there is no harm to be fun and this, knowing full well that this same concept and these performers could give something more memorable.

The first battle between humans and artificial intelligence company SkyNet is about to occur. The intent to eliminate John Connor (Nick Stahl), a leader of men, the machines send a Terminator cyborg again at his heels: TX (Kristanna Loken). To protect him once more the T-800 cyborg (Arnold Schwarzenegger) back to the scene.

The director James Cameron revealed when he learned that the Terminator series would win a third party who did not like the idea since the franchise started by him – both as writer and director – the film should have ended in the second part, both would not take part in this third film. Indeed it seemed strange at the end of the first movie, the Terminator destroys Skynet’s technology lab, the technology shares were the first “Terminator” movie, which would be used to produce modern military weapons. I did not think the third part dispensable, the Terminator had only postponed the day of final adjudication, someday humans would develop these weapons alone. And the Skynet virus would dominate these weapons. The doomsday was inevitable really, just think about it. The 2003 production was not anything amazing, great action, as well as special effects and sound. Excellent!

I like cars, and when I saw the movie “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines“, two of the machines that I see on the dramatic action are the Toyota Tundra pickup truck and the Lexus SC430 hardtop convertible.

Please see the screenshot below:

(Lexus SC430 – click to enlarge)

Used during the Terminatrix introduction scene in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, the unfortunate Lexus meets its end shortly into the movie in the vetrinary clinic’s parking lot. The Lexus SC430 is put into action early in the movie when audiences are introduced to Kristanna Loken, who plays the villainous Terminatrix. In a deal with Warner Bros. pictures, Toyota and Lexus supplied the vehicles for the top characters to pilot during dramatic chase scenes.
