Jackass 3D

Jackass 3D. The Dickhouse boys are back and this time in 3D. We watched this in simulated 3D because for some reason they didnt release it in real3D except for in theaters which is a real shame. I would have paid the extra dollar to see it in real3D, it would have been great. Everyone is here and hilarious. Old Characters are back and the disgusting things they do just get more and more raunchy.

I just love to watch and see if Bam Margera will cry; he is so corny. His parents April and Phil, I guess getting tired of not being part of the gang, are in the entire movie this time. They are funny and all, but like why are they there? There is no reason other then he is a child, which I think is true. I just love all the other guys though, Johnny Knoxville is always great and he usually does the craziest stuff, but he looks like he is getting old in this one. He doesn't laugh as much as he used to after getting hurt. Steve-O, Wee Man, I forget everybody else's names but they are all great too. This movie is hilarious and would be enjoied by anyone who is immature and likes to see grown men put themselves in danger for no obvious reason. :-D!

Due Date

Due Date. Robert Downing Jr and Zach Galifinakus in a strange serious of events end up having to travel from Atlanta to Los Angeles in 3 days for Peter's (Downing) wife's scheduled c-section. Zach Galifinakus is really a good actor and I think this movie shows how he will not be type casted. His character is a sad, lonely man just looking for someone to spend time with for a little bit. His father has just died and he is in mouring, plus he is naturally really weird. He is carrying with him a dog, Sunny and his father's ashes and he is going to Hollywood (as he calls Los Angeles) to become an actor. So really the reason the movie is funny is because Ethan Tremblay (Galifinakus) is a crazy pot head in mourning.

Robert Downing, Jr is the straight man. He plays an architect who was just traveling on business bumps into Ethan Tremblay and switches bags with him and its all downhill for him from here. He has no wallet; no ID, no credit cards, no cash and Ethan has a rental car and offers him a ride. He reluctantly takes the offer, having no other choice. Through their many ups and downs they somehow make it through and arrive just in time of course. But thats all I'm giving away about this one (Its too new).

I loved this movie, I'm glad we bought it, its one of those movies you can watch over and over again. Both actors are great and its like a 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' for our generation. Bottom line, its a must see.

The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle

The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle, seen on Zune on Xbox LIVE. Its hard to say in few sentances what this film is about, but basically cookies. The movie begins with a man in his early 20s reading the bible by a body of water. The man sees a bottle floating along near him and jumps in the water to retrieve the bottle. He has to break the bottle to get the message out, and hurts his hand. The message reads, F*** You, and this sets the scene for this man's unfortunate life.



The man is unemployed and can only find a job working as a janitor in an office building.Every day the man is seen he seems to be following a different religion, Judism, Muslim, Catholic, Hindu, Atheist, etc. The office building in which he works is a consumer research firm for baked goods, specifically self warming cookies. Some of his coworkers like to eat the cookies they throw in the trash. One of the researchers sees this and sees a golden oppurtunity for a controlled research group. She purposely throws out the cookies, knowing the janitors will eat them. Hopefully she didn't know the cookies make the men who eat them pregnant with what they imagine to be a blue whale.



While pregnant, the men experiment many of the same symptoms women do when they are pregnant. Including mood swings, vivid dreams, hormone changes, and so on, Eventually, the religiously confused young man confronts the researcher who admits they had no idea this would happen, but he and all the other men who ate the cookies would 'give birth' to a semialive worm like creature that will die very soon after being born.



That's all I'm going to reveal from the film; lets take a deeper look into The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle. The young man's religious confusion, I believe is a symbol of the general confusion and hopelessness of the generation just getting out of college. Because of the economy, there are no jobs for anyone, much less unexperienced college students. He is trying to find himself and answers anywhere he can, and so turns to the world religions or lack thereof in some instances. What's more each of the religions the man follows coordinates with what will happen that day. For example, on the day he figures every thing out and gives birth to Little Dizzle he is atheist. Its almost as if the film is his religious journey and then end of the movie is his enlightenment.



Little Dizzle, even though he is not alive, is very important symolically through the film. What science defines as alive is something which can metabolism , is made of cells which contain DNA, and can reproduce. By those qualifications, Little Dizzle is not alive, but he is alive through these men who are carrying him. He incites in these men an understanding for what their female counterparts have to go through during childbirth. He also makes the men think about their own life and in what direction they are headed toward. Although he is not scientifically alive, Little Dizzle exists in the hearts of the men he touched and as long as they remember him he will never die.

Dogtooth

Dogtooth, Greek with English subtitles. Seen on Zune on Xbox Live. This film is about a family who have been extremely isolated by their parents. No one in the family have names, but there is Father, Mother, Eldest, Boy, and Youngest. No one comes off the property except for the Father and no one comes on to the property except Christina, the young woman the Father pays to have sex weekly with his son. These teenagers are so sheltered they have different meanings for words that their parents just make up. They have to listen to homemade tapes of vocabulary words. They receive stickers for good behavior and the child with the most stickers at the end of the day gets to pick an activity in the evening for the family to partake in. The boy picked videos, homemade videos of themselves playing in the yard. They believe they have a brother on the other side of the fence who they feed and talk to. The father told them their bodies are not strong enough to leave the house until the dogtooth falls out; which is never.
One day Christina gets fed up with unfulfilling sex and cons the Eldest girl to perform oral sex in exchange for a headband. The next week, video tapes of “Rocky” and “Jaws” is what the eldest is bribed with. From now on she calls herself Bruce. She explains she believes a name is to the youngest sister, who now also wants a name. The parents have made the teens believe that airplanes fall out of the sky as toy airplanes. The eldest gets to the airplane first and claims it. The next day the brother is seen playing with the airplane. The eldest sees this and confronts him. He fights her so she goes to the kitchen and cuts him with a butcher's knife. She takes the airplane and throws it over the fence. The father gets the toy for the boy, but since they believe they cannot walk on the pavement unless you are in the car, he has to get into the car and drive about a foot and pick up the car. Eventually the parents figure out what is going on and find the video tapes. The father tapes one of the VHS' to his hand and hits the eldest in the head. Bruce goes to the bathroom with a five pound weight and hits herself until she knocks out the dogtooth. She then hides in the trunk of the car and is not found.
There is more that happens in the film if you can believe it, but I just wanted to summarize as best I could without confusing the timeline of events. I thought this movie was sick and crazy, but new. I have never seen anything like it before and it really keeps you wondering. What were these parents thinking? How was this going to work when their dogtooth never falls out? Would this be considered child endangerment? The film is trying to show how much of an influence parents are on their kids and. I guess, how any one can have children, even crazy psycho people. The mother didn't even go outside the grounds. Its crazy, a horror movie in my eyes.

The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia

"The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia" is a documentary about a family of self proclaimed hillbillies in Boone County, West Virginia. This family has not left Boone County, ever. The father, was shot in the face as he was starting to become famous for tap dancing. The mother raised at least 23 of her own children, natural and adopted, but the number of kids may be more around 34. Many of the children have died over the years including an accidental suicide, two shootings and a car wreck.

Bertie Mae, the mother, is 84 years old and at the start of the film the family gathers to celebrate. The documentary focuses on four of the children and their children. All this family does is drugs, have babies, and get arrested. The only ones that don't do drugs are Bertie Mae and the ones who are too young. They do anything and everything they can; pain killers, anxiety pills, cocaine, alcohol, and marijuana. 

The documentary crew follows the Whites around for a year and just see what happen. I personally thought the movie was a sad example of a family of criminals. None of them work, they all do drugs and steal and sell drugs and bad things happen to them. The only one of them who works is the one who didn't stay in Boone County and he is still a pot head. It makes me wonder about drugs and the theory about addictiveness in personality. There are two explanations for this, one they grew up around drugs and thought the behavior was normal and just followed suit or that doing drugs is just inherent in some people. The film was disturbing because I couldn't believe people like this actually existed. It was like something out of a Rob Zombie movie. It just made me never want to visit West Virginia. :)
