Q: How many divas does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I've loved Gal Costa's recordings since the seventies. She has a distinctive, incandescent voice and chooses good material written by some of Brazil's greatest composers. This acoustic, live-for-MTV concert features a killer rhythm section and the Orquestra Petrobras Pro-Musica arranged and conducted by the highly esteemed Wagner Tiso. I like most of the songs chosen for this performance from Gal's huge catalog. I love that both English and Portuguese sub-titles are available, greatly enhancing appreciation of the lyrics and patter for a non-Brazilian audience. Great singer, wonderful musicians, good
material, lush and grooving arrangements, beautiful venue, adoring audience, what's not to like? Well... Gal. To me, she comes across as a self-absorbed prima donna who thinks she's doing the world a favor to perform for us. I kept wishing I had a mute button for the picture. Oh well, I'm still giving it four out of five stars because the music and production is mostly wonderful. And by the way, A:Just one; she grabs the light bulb and the world revolves around her.

Boring 1 out of 5 stars.
7 of 10 people found this review helpful.

Who really liked this cast? They were uninteresting, and "un" real. It looked like MTV spent too much time making sure they got the black people, the whites, and the weirdo's! I'm really liking the Chicago cast much better!! Someone to actually relate to! Fun people in their 20's who are trying NOT to get along! NO more CORA! The house tour was pretty good though on the DVD version. If you REALLY REALLY liked this cast, it may be worth it for this and the Hampton scenes otherwise, wait for Real World Chicago.

Not Worth the Money 1 out of 5 stars.

I am a hardcore Real World fan. There is only about 45 minutes of additional footage and not much is really interesting. It is something you'll watch once and probably not watch again.

The Best Season Ever 5 out of 5 stars.

I thought that this was the best season in the many wonderful years of the Real World.Never has there been three African-American cast members in a real world castat the same time! I was very happy with this season because myself and lots of people I know could see a piece of themselves in the the cast and relate to them more so than other casts.

I Should Have Been There 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This DVD has a CD to it that not every KISS fan, but every rock fan should listen to at least once. I really never expected the acoustic KISS to be good but it really is. It is much more calm, and much more mature sounding. They didn't play any of the hard core songs like Strutter, but the songs they did play went great with the acoustic sound. Another thing I was surprised about was that Ace showed up! I was worried that he would have skipped out on this because of past relations with the band. The concert went great. The fans were cheering by the time it got to Rock N Roll All Nite, which also was a good acoustic version. So if you are interested, or already listening to KISS, you should definitely get this DVD or CD.

A Movie Worth Watching I f You Don't Have Anything To Do 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I gave this movie one star because it is stupid and sick. When they say that it's unrated it's true, they show the guys in the movie butt naked, thowing up, and more. Now I will admit there are some very funny parts in this movie but I would NOT suggest that you get this and watch it with kids in the room younger than 17.

Pros: It can be very funny at times. There are 4 or 5 parts in the movie that will make you laugh.

Cons: There is a lot of cussing, guys butt naked,& doing thing's that should be kept private.

All in all if you have t see this movie go out and rent it don't buy first off.

Editorial Review:

For better or worse, MTV funded a bumbling case of idiots to play with poo and dress in a variety of men’s undergarments. Never before has arrested development looked so much fun as the cast of Jackass make it. From stapling Jackass on their rear-end to mounting magazine stands in gorilla costumes, Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the gang show us what it takes be a Jackass!

Jackass in its Prime 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I think that this season was better than 2 and 3 because it was still the beginning and MTV hadn't started to destroy it by cutting down scenes. This probably explains why this volume hasn't been released until now but it was worth the wait. This set contains so many prime moments of Jackass including The Goldfish, Bam and Brandon's BMX joust, Dave's bicycle rides, and so many more.

Jackass is one o=f the funniest shows to ever be on television and you wonder to yourself how any of these people can actually do the stuff that they do. The low budget cameras also give the show a home-video feel which is pretty funny. Johnny Knoxville is great in this and you'll end up laughing again and again if you buy volume one.

Some of the Highlights Include:

Poo Cocktail
Daddy and Baby 2
BMX Joust
The Goldfish
Extreme Pogo
Mexican Snowboarding

Overall this is a great buy and it will provide you with hours of entertainment. Lots of fun from Johnny Knoxville, Stevo-O, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, and the rest of the gang. It's makes you wonder how MTV

Want to know why teenagers are so gosh-darn screwed-up these days? Just look at Knoxville & his anti-social crew for starters!!! 1 out of 5 stars.
6 of 12 people found this review helpful.

Contrary to moral relativists and Jackass apologists who downplay Jackass 2 as comedy or the immaturity common among teenagers, Jackass 2's popularity--and the following of the Jackass franchise--is an implication of where American and western society's heading: into the gutter of depraved indecency!!!! An incrimination of the low-mindedness lowlifes celebrate in this Jackass 2 movie was seen when it defied all odds of sanity or justice by debuting at number one when it came out!!!! In analyzing Jackass 2's noticeable success, where even the makers of the movie had to be self-deprecating about their chances of repeating the success from the first movie, one has to resist the temptation to write off the moviegoers as merely asinine and misled teens. Ghoulishly, many immature and dissolute adults entertain their lowbrow, inner desires by buying this DVD.

Jackass 2 cannot qualify as a movie since movies have a plot, maybe a theme, some conflict, and character development. Flagrantly, Jackass 2 is more of the same mischief: Knoxville, Steve-O, Pontius et al connive to get together for more anti-social stunts which are just perilous and self-destructive. Many teenagers, clearly neglected by their parents and free to pursue copying Jackass' stunts due to feeling a void in their useless lives, have imitated Jackass' toxic stunts, so these films and series are definitely affecting society in a polluting way.

An impartial count by the "Screen-It" Movie Review website found 135 f-words, 39 MoFos, 19 d#@k/c---su#*er, and 22 a#@holes. This is only the beginning of the lewd profanity unconvincingly described as "comedy" that's scattered throughout Jackass 2. It has no redeemable qualities because the "humor" isn't funny; it's simply slapping together unconventionally perverse situations which get the audience to utter nervous laughter due to the shocking perversity of the stunts. For instance, semen is lustfully collected from the erect p*nis of a horse, and a man has a phallus (for all the mentally immature adults viewing Jackass 2, they'll need to check a dictionary for the definition of phallus) blasted up his derriere!!!! Nothing is even remotely "funny" about this; if one finds this "funny" there are only three choices. Either they're being intellectually dishonest, have the maturity level of an anti-social teen, or are so obscenely deteriorated.

The overall ratings for Jackass 2 should be one star at the most if we lived in a morally upstanding society, but we don't, regrettably. Egregious nudity to get the moral-reprobate audience off is rampant with men and women totally nude; again, there's nothing "funny" or remotely defensible about this nudity since it's softcore p*rn. Worse than this is the miscreant means for which human nudity is misused: for instance, a man's p*nis is actually put through the hole of a snake cage. The reviewers mendaciously defending this sm*t-film are villains. From this content of the movie, you'd seriously have to be debauched, mentally underdeveloped, or just asinine to enjoy this. "Movies" such as this used to be relegated to red-light districts, and most of Jackass 2 is more extreme and shocking than any snuff or p*rn film.

The only abominations remotely capable of being passed off as lowlife humor are scenes of drinking horse semen (Fear Factor never stooped this low), eating horse manure, the stimulating sight of freshly passed human excrement, and stoners and drunks vomiting in graphic glorification!!!! With all these increasingly damning descriptions of the content of Jackass 2, it's clear that the only people enjoying this depravity are mentally ill, as it's incrementally clear that no sane or good human being could derive entertainment value from this degeneration.

Besides these contraventions of human dignity, Jackass 2 endorses abysmally unethical misconduct and/or harmful misconduct. Alcohol is used in almost every other scene; Knoxville is in a scene corrupting a child, as this child drinks alcohol from a brown paper bag; Bam has his b*tt branded several times, resulting in three brandings of a p*nis and a scrotum outline; and one probably liberal and therefore hopelessly lost man has his scrotum frozen to small ice sculptures and when it does, Knoxville pushes him off so hard that pubic hair and excrement remain on the sculptures!!!!

All the other reviewers except for me were unscrupulously downplaying the noxiousness of Jackass 2 by disguising it as mere immaturity or humor--that's why they deceitfully omitted presenting the content of the DVD. In grim reality, even immature teens or p*rverts couldn't really get a rise out of Jackass if they tried; one must be mentally ill or a complete rogue to tolerate this end-of-the-world sacrilege passed off as a movie. I watched the DVD just to be able to unmask all the sm*t in
it. After reading my review of Jackass' content, how can any sane or moral person buy this foulness?!

Editorial Review:

Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O and the entire crew from the popular MTV franchise return in the most insane DVD of the year, jackass number two. Available in both rated and "too hot for theaters" unrated versions, jackass number two pushes the limits with all-new stunts, pants-wetting practical jokes, fun with bears, bees, snakes, bulls, sharks…and other REALLY bad ideas.

DISAPPOINTING 1 out of 5 stars.
26 of 29 people found this review helpful.

DO NOT BUY THIS DVD. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. ALL NUDITY IS BLOCKED THEY EVEN BLEEP SOME OF THE CUSS WORDS. IT'S JUST STUPID [stuff] THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT ON TO THE SHOW, SOME OF IT'S FUNNY, BUT NOT WORTH BUYING. THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE REAL WORLD'S SO I KNOW IF THIS ONE [is bad] THE OTHERS MUST BE WORSE.

Editorial Review:

" The Real World You Never Saw: Las Vegas- Confessions from Sin City" takes viewers beyond the television program and deeper into the lives and adventures of Alton (rock climbing violinist), Arissa (tough girl with a heart of gold), Brynn (self-described party animal), Frank (small town boy), Irulan (artistic Aries), Steven (hunky hetero and bartender at a gay bar) and Trishelle (closet Southern wild woman). Normal people ten to do crazy things on vacation in Las Vegas, and MTV's handpicked seven include exhitionists who hold nothing back. The very first episode feature a hook-up and the second episode followed with another tryst, but this time with two girls. With that in mind, one can only imagine the extras that were too hot for MTV to air. This is the true story of seven prima donnas, picked to live in a casino and do what they do best: gamble their trust funds away and get falling down drunk trying to live it up in Las Vegas.

what a shame 1 out of 5 stars.
21 of 21 people found this review helpful.

I must admit that the DVD has interesting performances on it. Unfortunately, if you have a reasonably good stereo, you will quickly notice the very uneven sound quality of the performances. On some performances the vocals sound just fine, while the backing instruments sound muted and muffled; on other performances the opposite occurs; in a few cases (e.g., Chris Issac) the sound is quite good. I do not know if the original recordings are bad or if the engineering of the DVD is quite poor, but be forewarned: the sound quality of this DVD is quite uneven. I own remastered jazz CDs, originally recorded more than 40 years ago, that sound better than some or the performances on this DVD.

Caution - Missing Sound In Some Parts 1 out of 5 stars.

I've bought and returned this DVD twice now because the sound on some of the videos is entirely missing. When I first bought the DVD and had a problem I thought I just got a bad DVD - so I exchanged it for another one and had the same problem. Even in the places where the sound is intact, it is of poor quality. The image itself is also not that good

Editorial Review:

Some critics see the success of Jackass: The Movie as the last nail in the coffin of civilization, and they're probably right. This compilation of pain-inflicting stunts and embarrassing pranks has no artistic merit whatsoever--which doesn't keep it from being freakishly entertaining. Among other things, Johnny Knoxville and his posse get beaten up by a female kick-boxing champion; shoot bottle rockets out of their rectums; run amok in Japan wearing giant panda bear costumes; swim with whale sharks while holding pounds of brine shrimp in their swimsuits; and get done up in realistic old-age makeup so that they can race each other in motorized wheelchairs, among other goofs. It's a weird mixture of machismo and masochism, adolescent recklessness and frat boy homoeroticism, and someday someone will write a doctoral thesis about how Jackass relates to our safety-obsessed society. In the meantime, just enjoy. --Bret Fetzer

Jackass Number Two could be alternately titled " From Bowties to Bunny Ears: What Will Chris Pontius Be Wearing Next?" Like the first Jackass movie, Johnny, Bam, Chris, Steve-O and the gang are all here. This "sequel" is full of stunts, pranks and one-liners, and contains more defecation, more male nudity, more scream-worthy moments and of course more uncontrollable laughter. The film opens with a rather well directed cinematic piece: the entire Jackass gang running from a stampede of bulls. From there it takes off into the hysterically exhausting world of Jackass. The bulls are actually in quite a few stunts, one of which has "leader" Johnny Knoxville using himself as a red flag, and getting spearheaded by a charging bull. Ah, good times. Some of the stunts include: "Beehive Limo", "Fart Mask", "Red Rocket" and a fake terrorist plot which boasts the improve line, "Where I'm going, I don't need luggage." Bam gets branded, they fish for sharks with Steve-O as bait, Johnny catches Anacondas with his bare hands, the list goes on. The gem in this collection of antics has to be the offensive interactions with the innocent people on the street by Johnny Knoxville and director/actor Spike Jonez, while disguised as a very old man and woman. Celebrity guests partaking in stunts include extreme sports legends Tony Hawk and Mat Hoffman. The movie culminates in a beautifully choreographed, fantastical and dangerous musical number not to be missed. Throughout the movie it is apparent that the Jackass gang is older and a little more worn, especially when Bam pleads, "Please God, don't let there be a "Jackass 3". For fans of the TV series and the films, a trilogy may be just what the doctor ordered. The DVD extras (deleted scenes, unrated material and two pretty funny music videos) are more of the same and worth the watch, though some of it is not for the faint hearted. --Rachel Moss
