Welcome to Jackass.

Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, 'Danger' Ehren McGhehey, Dave England, Jason 'Wee Man' Acuna and Preston Lacy are back.
With more extreme stunts than ever.

Okay I'll admit compared to their earlier years, most of this stunts were not as extreme.
Gone are the days of 'Paper Cuts'.
But enter the days of 'Poo Cocktail Supreme'.

And almost all the scenes were laugh-out-loud funny.
I am shitting you not. Literally.
Everyone in the theatre was either laughing or ooh-ing and aah-ing.
I laughed til my stomach cramped up.

If you need a break from whatever it is you're doing then go watch this movie with a bunch of friends.
Stupid or not - the Jackass boys have balls.

God bless em.

Final Verdict:

Paranormal Activity 2

Watched With: My Snooqums @ GV VivoCity (22/10)
Snacks: Cheesy Hotdog & Iced Lemon Tea
Genre: Horror

Boo.

Dan (Brian Boland) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden) live together with their daughter Ali (Molly Ephraim) and newborn Hunter.
With their nanny Martine (Vivis Cortez) and visits from Kristi's sister Katie (Katie Featherston) and her fiance Micah (Micah Sloat), things seems pretty normal in their suburban life.

Things suddenly start to turn weird when there seems to be someone else in the house with them. Someone. Or something.
This unseen benevolent presence disturbs and compromises the safety of the family which leads to a terrifying outcome.

Okay so this is obviously more money-making scheming from Hollywood and it will undoubtedly work.
The success of the first movie was phenomenal and the movie was actually pretty scary. This sequel is not even directed by the original director but I will admit that it did have its moments.

And yes. It does help if you watched the first one.

Final Verdict:

Buried

Talk about a one-man show.

Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is a truck driver contracted by his company to deliver good in Iraq.
One day while delivering supplies to a school, Paul and his convoy are ambushed.

When Paul wakes up, he is in a coffin. Buried.

He has a cellphone, a Zippo and about 3 hours to get $5 million to pay his ransom or he will die beneath the ground.
It is a race against time to get in contact with his family, the kidnappers and also the FBI who are trying their best to rescue Paul.

Time and air and luck are running out.

You guys remember Phone Booth where Colin Ferrell was the main character and most of the movie was only about him in that phone booth?
Well this take it one-up.

The whole movie is literally Ryan Reynolds in that box.
The only other people in the movie are the voices on the phone.

In a way, it was really good acting by Reynolds and you really start thinking about how you'd react in a similar situation.
And the suspense really builds up towards the end of the movie.
Too bad it's just one guy which means the prospect of any development is nil.

Final Verdict:

I Love You Phillip Morris

Watched With: My Brother @ The Cathay (02/10)
Snacks: None
Genre: Drama / Comedy

This movie did not affect my sexual preference.

Steven Jay Russell (Jim Carrey) was a stand-up guy.
Good husband and father. Hard worker. Good with friends. Goes to church.
And then one day he discovered he is a gay man.

He moves to Miami and spends his time with his boyfriend Jimmy Kemple (Rodrigo Santoro) and his two dogs.
But Steven soon turns to a life of crime.. well.. more a life of cons to keep up with his extravagant lifestyle.
And then the law catches up with him and he is hauled off to jail.

It is in prison that he meets Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor) and the two fall in love.
Steven is subsequently released but turns back to a life of con not only to get Phillip released from jail but also to convince him that he is successful and ultimately wants them to be together forever.

But one things leads to another and the results are unbelievable.
The best part - this really happened.

I did a bit of research when I got home and found this to be an incredible story that really took place.
And in the end, I realized this was not a Jim Carrey comedy as most people would expect.
It does have its comedic movies with Carrey's signature evident but this was ultimately a drama about redemption and was quite sad when I come to think about it.

A good watch if you're up for some good story-telling.
Don't expect to roll on the floor with laughter is all I'm saying.
