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.

The parents who want to bring their children to the movies in time for Christmas have much choice: “Tron: Legacy,” “Tangled” or the latest episodes of “Harry Potter” and “Narnia.” So why will they want to waste their time with the jokes rarely comic Jack Black in “Gulliver’s Travels“?

There is nothing sacred. Released in the 18th century, the classic “Gulliver’s Travels” by Irish writer Jonathan Swift was a social satire and political society, transposing with verve and intelligence fear belongs to the world and the need to define himself before the daily absurdities. Distorted through time and simplified for children, the story has lost some of its magic, being periodically transposed – in film, television, cartoons – with mixed success. Memory, hard to find an adaptation that has also failed here Rob Letterman, the director of yet sympathetic “Monsters vs. Aliens” and “Shark Tale”.

The story picks up the first two Gulliver’s Travels: one in which he finds himself the God of the Lilliputians who are continually at war, and when instead he must survive on an island inhabited by a giant. Far from home, the hero (Jack Black) who felt so different about him that he is the only hold the key to happiness…

Periodically, the masterpieces of literature are there to return film in different forms. This has just helped get Tim Burton immeasurable success with his rereading a bit bland but spectacular of “Alice in Wonderland.” It’s probably on this model has been revamped this project to the 1000 possibilities. That’s where the shoe pinches most. Not content to hold gold in the hands, the two writers developed a story populated with uninteresting characters and annoying situations where the gags more “imaginative” prove that in which Gulliver urine to stop a fire…

Most likely, those who hear the name of Zach Galifianakis until last year was going to ask: “Zach what? Who’s that? “. And it could be different, after all, even with a filmography somewhat bulky, lacked an American comedian who hit the submit to the general public. For this turn in his career came with the hilarious Hangover (2009) , one of the best comedies to hit theaters in recent years, with charismatic characters, scenes really able to spark laughter and break, the revelation Galifianakis’s talent. Since then, the actor became regulars on the comedy shows and has amended a number of projects for the cinema.

The first post-movie stardom Galifianakis is Due Date (2010), comedy that marks the meeting of the new star in Todd Phillips, the director of Hangover. If this new partnership could generate double expectations, they increased exponentially with the presence of Robert Downey Jr., an actor more interesting in the role of costar. Unfortunately, A Journey of Birth is only the promise. Even with all this talent involved, it is an uneven comedy and only sporadically funny, in which history does not work on your goals and narrative jokes seem like warmed-over from other productions.

“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.
