Why watch this film?
In the 1980s, Mötley Crüe redefined the meaning of "rock star" with plenty of excesses. Based on the best-selling biography of the band, "The Dirt" is directed by Jeff Tremaine ("Jackass") and includes all the stories of overdose, tragedies, and harassment. The filmmaker, with his affinity for excess and absurdity, uncensored portrays the inconsistencies of the group members, with drama and humour in the right dose to create empathy with the legendary musicians, no matter how many mistakes they make. Unfortunately, the musical part is lacking, and the movie feels rushed and not given much care.

Jackass Forever
The franchise 'Jackass' marked a very emblematic phase of television and cinema in the early 2000s. Therefore, 'Jackass Forever' is one of those productions for a very specific niche of people, with a very nostalgic feel made to be the conclusion that fans needed. Following the already established formula, the production is a sequence of absurd scenes with the famous cast, led by Johnny Knoxville. The proposal here is to have fun with a bunch of senseless people getting into the most senseless situations in the world - which can be attractive and repulsive at the same time, depending on your taste.
Jackass: The Movie
Few productions have marked American popular culture of the 2000s as much as the reality show 'Jackass', created by Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze and Jeff Tremaine, in which Knoxville and his gang of friends (Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, Chris Pontius and Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, among others) make all kinds of jokes, as well as absurd and dangerous tricks to get laughs. 'Jackass: The Movie' is more 'Jackass' than a movie, since it is actually a collection of shenanigans in the same format as its television counterpart, only with a clearly higher budget. With that said, the same warning applies to the movie as to the television program: if you're in the mood to watch people do mundane yet extreme stupidities just for fun, you're most likely to have a great time with this movie, provided you're willing to laugh one moment and maybe be disgusted five minutes later.
Jackass 4.5
No, this isn't 'Jackass Forever' with a different title or extended version. It's actually a documentary about the movie. Although the other feature films have a documentary style, this production shows the behind-the-scenes of 'Jackass' with comments from Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Wee Man, Danger Ehren, Preston Lacy and the new additions. It's really fun to follow how they felt filming certain scenes and also the not so pleasant side of this work (if there is a pleasant side to what they do). The covid-19 pandemic is addressed in the most surprising way possible, in a way that only 'Jackass' could do. It's important to warn that the amount of profanity in this documentary surpasses any frontal nudity that cinema has ever tried to normalize. Be prepared. 'Jackass 4.5' is funny, disturbing and brings a good ending for the 'Jackass' team and fans.
Comedy
The Potemkinists
In 1905, the sailors on the battleship Potemkin are given political asylum in Romania - an act of defiance against Russia. In 2021, a sculptor (Alexandru Dabija) wants to create an artwork inspired by the event. A comedy about art, history, memory and cinema, which film critic Andrei Gorzo describes as "a cross between a Caragiale sketch and a Mark Rappaport video essay"
Hard Feelings
Two best friends try to make it through high school while dealing with embarrassing new urges and their very inconvenient feelings for each other.
Where the Tracks End
This is a touching Mexican film directed by Ernesto Contreras (I Dream in Another Language, Cosas imposibles), based on the eponymous novel by Ángeles Doñate, which in turn is inspired by the real cases of "railroad schools" that existed in rural areas of Mexico around the mid-20th century (and of which one still exists). Where the Tracks End (El últimio vagón) tells the story of Ikal (Kaarlo Isaac), who constantly travels with his father for him to give maintenance to the train tracks. He ends up joining one of these railroad schools, where he meets new friends and where the teacher Georgina (Adriana Barraza, Academy Award nominee for Babel) does her best with what she has to educate them, in the face of the threat from an official of the Ministry of Education who intends to close the school. It's a conventional yet moving story, well-written and with excellent performances, perfectly suitable for a family weekend with a beautiful tale of friendship and empathy.
