my recent movie reviews: yoohoo!

Posted: March 12, 2007

i have posted a lot of videos and movies lately. to be honest, they take the least amount of effort with the biggest payout. plus i find all of this stuff either fun or interesting. that being said, i am not a movie or video buff. but from time to time i will do a movie review. keep in mind that my taste in movies is not very good. i am an easy critic most of the time. i suggest everything to everyone. so take the following with a grain of salt.

i watched a few movies over the last few weeks and i want to share my opinion on some of them. i know what you are thinking: YES!

saw 3

out of all the genres of movies that exist i am the biggest fan of horror. don’t know why but i just am. i loved the first two saw movies but saw 3 was horrible. i was so disappointed that i took the time to post a review on netflix warning others. my netflix review: One saw, two saw, three saw crap. I loved the first two. This one was desperate. I don’t mind watching people get mangled as long as there is a thoughtful payout. It would take a team of serial killers to pull some of this stuff off and this movie attempts to convince you that it is a bed ridden cancer patient with a brain tumor and an emotionally unstable ex-junkie. If there is a Saw four I most likely will not waste my time.

jesus camp

this movie is extremely different from saw 3. this is a documentary that is pretty much about the title: jesus camp. i really enjoyed this film and think it is worth checking out despite your beliefs. it surrounds a evangelical camp for children in kansas city, missouri. holy bible belt batman! this one is a head trip!

jackass two

it took me forever to see the first one. mostly because i wasn’t really too interested. however my buddy jeffrey convinced me one afternoon to sit down with him, have a few beers and watch it. i laughed so hard i almost died. it wasn’t enough of an impact for me to go to the theater to see the sequel but i did make sure to put it on my netfilx list for when it came out.

i give this one a c+. don’t get me wrong, it made me laugh really hard and there are some scenes that i had to watch a couple of times. but it felt like they were taking some advice from the creators of saw 3. they went way too hard on some of the scenes. so hard that you could tell the guys doing these crazy acts had fear in their eyes. steveo is an exception though - how he is still alive amazes me. if this sort of thing is your bag then you will enjoy this movie. if it isn’t really your thing then just rent it to watch the opening scene. it is beyond me how they pulled some of this stuff off.

i have more reviews coming soon. i say that as if people will be holding their breath. oh well, cheers!
