Jackass: The Movie

It's 90 minutes of utter nonsense with a good soundtrack.

Just a few comments, really. First, it's great, go and watch it if you are remotely interested in the field of Stupidity. Second, I am getting thoroughly cheesed of with Bam Margera, and will by buying Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 so that I may crash his smug little face into the concrete a lot. Finally, it cleverly shows that movies do not desensitise us to violence. In my time I have sat, unflinching as a variety of hideous and gory woundings have been inflicted on movie characters. But could I watch while four idiots sat around giving each other paper cuts? No I could not.

Hard to give this one an "out of 10" rating. It's basically the leader of a field of one.

Solaris

I liked this film simply because it wasn't at all like yer average sci-fi. The whole set and cinematography echo movies that either have implausibly-betoothed aliens or loonies doing things with the station's supply of big scalpels or something. But that's not what the film turns out to be about at all. Essentially, this is the movie where all the things that happen in Event Horizon don't.

Jolly good. Liked it. Solid 8/10
