Originally released for free on the web through a deal with Blockbuster, “Jackass 2.5” is basically deleted scenes stitched together to loosely form a movie- hence the .5 added on to the title. It’s nothing spectacular- nothing that wouldn’t have made a two disc collector’s edition of the sequel worth buying had it been added on that. Instead, they limited the “free” deal once they realized they could milk a few bucks off this and yanked it down and put it out for sale for $19.99 at your local retail outlets. Let me be the first to tell you what you probably all ready know- this “movie” isn’t worth dropping $20 bucks down for. It’s debatable if it’s even worth renting, unless you are a hardcore fan of the series. Put it this way- the majority of the movie consists of interviews with the cast and filmmakers explaining why the scenes they are about to show you weren’t good enough to make it into the movie to begin with. Naturally, because these guys are funny, there are some moments of hilarity, but like I stated earlier those scenes could have made for some great special features on a future “Jackass 2” Special Edition release (which I’m sure will happen anyway). Given that most of the people involved with the series/movies are anti-establishment, it’s tough to imagine that they would be comfortable with their fans paying to buy something like this. It was fun for free. Paying for it will make you feel like the jackass.
This was another music blog, but let's face it- there are enough of those to go around at the moment and the web is becoming a bit too crowded for them (except for the bomb ass ones like "Fight Test", "Fluxblog", etc...). So, I decided to make this a movie review blog where I'll post reviews of the movies I watch. I'll include MP3s from the movie soundtracks to download when I can find them. Keep in mind these are just my OPINIONS, so you could very well love a movie I hate or vice versa- so please, don't bother posting comments on what an idiot I am for not liking a movie you like (or for confusing a slight fact- no need to call someone a dumbass for not knowing a remake was originally Thai and not Japanese. There are some rude people out there) It is pointless and I'd rather you just not come to the site if that's the case. Also, the MP3s posted are to help encourage you to either purchase the soundtrack and/or the individual group or artist's album(s). If you are the owner of any of the songs posted and want them removed- please let me know and it will be done ASAP. Thank you for stopping by!
