Jake's Cinema Room

It's been 14 years now since Joe Dirt came out back in 2001. The film has garnered a small cult following despite the fact that it's not the greatest comedy to ever come out. I'll be the first to admit that while I don't find the film to be particularly good there are some parts that do make me laugh and it's something I can throw on everyone once in a while. Now here we are in 2015 and for whatever reason we're getting a sequel that I'm pretty sure nobody asked for. We can thank the streaming site Crackle for this sequel, who got the exclusive rights to show this instead of it going to theaters or straight to DVD. That should give you some perspective on how good this could possibly be. When we last left Joe (David Spade) he had gotten back with his girlfriend Brandy (Brittany Daniel) and everything was going well for him. We watch as Joe and Brandy get married, go on to have three daughters and have a fairly nice life together. That is until a terrible...

Kevin James is back as Paul Blart in the sequel that nobody asked for. I'll be the first to admit that I didn't mind the first film. Sure it wasn't great but I didn't flat out hate it either. Also despite his very lackluster film career so far I do like Kevin James and think he can be funny given the right material, just look at Hitch and his years on The King of Queens. Since the first film was a surprising box office success it was inevitable that a sequel would probably follow, it's just a shame that nobody thought about even trying when it came to making a second film. This time around we pick up where the last film left off. We see Paul marry his love interest Amy (Jayma Mays) only for her to leave him just six days later. This depresses Paul but he continues on keeping his mall safe. His daughter Maya (Raini Rodriguez) is tired of seeing her dad so depressed and talks him into taking a much needed vacation. She recently got an acceptance letter to college ...

Channing Tatum and the boys are back for a second go around in  Magic Mike XXL . It’s been three years since we last saw Mike (Channing Tatum) who has since left the stripping world and is hard at work running his own custom furniture business. One day he gets a call from one of his old buddies who gets him to meet up with the old crew who are planning on going up to Myrtle Beach for a stripper convention to put on one last spectacular performance. Along the way they team up with some old friends of Mike’s led by Rome (Jada Pinkett-Smith) who help them out in putting together their final performance. >When the first  Magic Mike  came out in 2012 it was quite a surprise for me. Not because it was actually good but because of how good it ended up being. It was surprising to see that it was more a character study about a guy trying to get out of a life he was unhappy with and do something he was more passionate about. This time around we get less of a character study...
