Jackass: Number Two

You either get it or you don’t. The naysayers who felt the first “Jackass” film was the downfall of Western civilization shouldn’t even bother with “Number Two,” in which Johnny Knoxville and company prove they still haven’t exhausted all possible methods of self-mutilation. Some of the more elaborate gags fizzle, but everything else moves more quickly than the previous film. Personal favorites are medicine-ball dodge ball, a locked car filled with bees and anything involving charging bulls.

Verdict: See it (if you liked the first one)

“Flyboys” is a World War I film that recounts the courage and fear of the world’s first combat pilots. Inspired by the legendary Lafayette Escadrille, the movie focuses on four characters, all coming from very different walks of life, who find out the hard way that the average life expectancy for pilots is three to six weeks. In an attempt to find meaning in the war, the soldiers struggle to learn what it means to be “killers” while proving their strengthened unity as combat pilots. James Franco of the “Spider-Man” films stars.

Verdict: Rent It
