“Jacks 4.5”, Netflix
Some will howl with laughter, some will vomit. The disturbed jackas return after ten years of silence
Four times I had to stop broadcasting the movie “Jacks 4.5” out of laughter and there were still 30 minutes left until the end. It was not just a laugh. It reached the level of uncontrollable howls. Not everyone will have it happen, I know. In front of scenes in the film, or even vomiting, like one of the filmmakers who himself vomited when he filmed a scene in which the participants eat chunks of sushi from the panties and flesh folds of a very fat and sweaty and very fat man.
This, more or less, is what happens in the Jackass movie series, and in the latest movie “Jackass 4.5”, which came out after ten years of silence: a group of disturbed people who do their best to hurt themselves, disgust themselves and the viewers, and with the help of these also be funny. , For those who ask. It’s possible. And how else is it possible.
The best way to explain to someone unfamiliar with the material is to describe some of the scenes that appear in the series: A crew member fills his underwear with shrimp and goes down to a shark cage. A crew member tattoos his friend while riding in a speeding jeep in a rocky terrain. A crew member pushes a toy car into our buttocks and goes to an X-ray doctor who is shocked by the results of the photo (the pelvis by the way, in the front and back, serves as a particularly endearing stunt scene for the crew). A crew member enters the evacuation of the toilets, which explode seconds later from an explosive device loaded in them, and he falls into the septic tank. The mother of a staff member returns from shopping and finds in her home an (real) alligator who brought her loving son there. And the father of a staff member came to visit his son at the filming site, locked in a room where a bear roams free, also strictly real. And yet we have not touched the real mad disgust. what a pleasure.
See or give up: see. Required. Disrupted that there are no such things.
“The Time Traveler’s Wife,” Cellcom TV, Hot, Yes
Claire’s affair runs into problems: Henry is constantly skipping over time. But in the end love wins, and so do the endless swans over love, love, love
Claire and Henry are a loving couple, but their love story is accompanied by a certain problem. Henry, involuntarily, skips over time. He appears at different ages of Claire, from childhood to old age, when on his own he grows up or becomes younger, but in spite of everything both overcome difficulties and love, oh love, wins.
The film is based on the novel of the same name written by author Audrey Nifanger, which was published in 2003 and immediately became a bestseller and sold over a million copies. A small confession: I did not go crazy about the book when it came out at the time, just as I did not go crazy about the first episode of the series that was released for review. Too much talk in my opinion about love and not necessarily because the beating heart in my chest is as hard as flint. Before starting to elaborate on the praise of love, in my opinion, need some TV meat. Some movement. A bit of a plot. The swans can be kept afterwards.
Time Traveler’s Wife (Photo: Macall B. Polay.HBO, courtesy of yes)“The Time Traveler’s Wife” suffers from too much love talk and too few options that gives time travel. A small change in journey, a slight turn at a crossroads in a different direction, it was said, 20 years ago, can drive huge changes over the years, “The Time Traveler’s Wife” chooses to ignore these possibilities and remains only in the realms of love, oh love, love, love. In these moments I felt mostly a love for the remote control, and a desire to skip if not in time then at least to another channel.
See or Give Up: The first chapter is too reminiscent of the book. Give up.
