Collection of films from the popular comedy franchise. 'Jackass: The Movie' (2002) is the first big screen outing for Johnny Knoxville and friends and features a variety of silly and dangerous stunts, including fun and games with golf carts, urine-soaked snow cones and self-inflicted paper cuts. Series regulars Bam Margera, Steve-O, Dave England, Chris Pontius (alias Party Boy) and Jason Acuña (alias Wee Man) all make an appearance. 'Jackass: Number 2' (2006) features more cringe-worthy stunts, more nasty spills, and more stupid pranks. As well as their native US, the crewmembers also take their camera to Australia, India and Moscow in their search for new ways to gross out the audience. 'Jackass 2.5' (2007) is another insane foray into stupidity, featuring all the stuff they couldn't show you on television. The boys take their stunts to all-new heights that will leave you laughing, squirming, and begging for more (or, possibly, less). In 'Jackass 3' (2010), bull riding, a paintball shootout, rocket jet-skiing and bungee jumping while strapped to a (full) toilet are just some of the pranks the boys get up to this time round, as well as 'the worst wake-up in the world', in which Bam Margera wakes up his sleeping friend in the most brutal and disgusting ways he can dream up. 'Jackass 3.5' (2011) includes stunts which couldn't be included in the previous instalment 'Jackass 3'. The latest additional footage features the likes of firework stunts, skateboarding through a series of dangerous obstacles, 'extreme' skiing and Steve-O being painfully introduced to a snapping turtle.
The first three films in the Jackass franchise, in which Johnny Knoxville and friends perform a variety of crazy and dangerous stunts. 'Jackass: The Movie' (2002) sees the boys having fun and games with golf carts, urine soaked snow cones and self-inflicted paper cuts. Series regulars Bam Margera, Steve-O, Dave England, Chris Pontius (alias Party Boy) and Jason Acuna (alias Wee Man) all make an appearance. The original MTV wreckin' crew returns in 'Jackass: Number 2 Uncut' (2006), pushing the limit of what is morally acceptable to commit to celluloid even further. More cringe-worthy stunts, more nasty spills, more stupid pranks than even the first movie. As well as their native US the crew also takes the camera to Australia, India and Moscow in its search for new ways to gross out an audience. In this compendium of the cruel: Chris Pontius makes his private member into a puppet - painting a mouse-face on it. It is then dragged around in a snake's cage until the snake strikes at it and doesn't let go; a fake valentine card is hung on the wall of cast members' hotel rooms and a hidden camera installed to watch the action. Why? Because behind the paper is a pneumatic arm with a huge boxing glove; special guest Spike Jonze is dressed up as an elderly woman named Gloria who goes around L.A. talking to salesmen. After the two parties have conversed, the old lady's shirt drops, revealing fake, drooping breasts; the team baits a hook with Steve-O (hook actually through his cheek) and throws him into the water - crowded with Mako sharks; Johnny Knoxville is blindfolded and charged by an angry Yak. Everything as normal for the Jackass crew, then. 'Jackass 3' (2010) sees another onslaught of insane and painful pranks. Bull riding, a paintball shootout, rocket jet-skiing and bungee jumping while strapped to a (full) toilet are just some of the pranks the boys get up to this time round, as well as 'the worst wake-up in the world', in which Bam Margera wakes up his sleeping friend in the most brutal and disgusting ways he can dream up.

When they met for the first time in Los Angeles in 1993, the Beastie Boys and Spike Jonze were rising stars of their respective fields - the golden ages of both east coast hip hop and MTV. Immediately a connection formed between the three MCs and the young filmmaker, which has lasted throughout their careers. Twenty-five years later, this book collects for the first time more than two hundred of Spike Jonze's personal photographs of his time spent with the Beastie Boys. Edited and with an afterword by Jonze, and including a foreword by Horovitz, this book shows the greatest act of the hip hop generation in their truest colours as only a close friend could see them. From going on stage at Lollapalooza to writing together at Mike D's apartment; getting into character for a video to dressing up as old men to hit the basketball court; recording an album in the studio in Los Angeles to goofing around in barber shops. From the music video to Sabotage to the cover of the Sounds of Science album, Spike Jonze is responsible for some of the most iconic images of the band ever made - but here, the emphasis is on the candid, the unexpected, and the real.
Revered filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs the shocking true-life story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort. From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title – “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Money. Power. Women. Drugs. Temptations were for the taking and the threat of authority was irrelevant. For Jordan and his wolf pack, modesty was quickly deemed overrated and more was never enough. (2014 Oscar nominations for: Best Motion Picture; Best Director; Best Actor; Best Supporting Actor; Best Adapted Screenplay)

"I'm Here" is the latest film from director Spike Jonze (of "Where the Wild Things Are" fame), a half-hour narrative short that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2010 and was released on the movie's own website in March. "I'm Here" is your typical boy-robot-librarian-meets-girl-robot-free-spirit, boy-robot-librarian-gets-girl-robot-free-spirit in truth, "I'm Here," a whimsical and touching look at love among robots in contemporary L.A., isn't typical of anything, and neither is this charming book, which provides spreads of color stills from the movie. "I'm Here" isn't drawn or stop-motion animation; the movie is live action, with the actors wearing wonderfully awkward costumes concocted of obsolete computer parts. The performers concealed beneath all this hard-molded plastic are British actors Andrew Garfield ("Boy A," "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," "The Social Network") and Sienna Guillory ("Love, Actually"; the television miniseries "Helen of Troy").
The Shooting Script of the new movie by the team that made Being John Malkovich: writer Charlie Kaufman and director Spike Jonze - starring Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep Adaptation concerns Laroche, an eccentric collector of rare orchids (played by Chris Cooper), a journalist called Susan Orlean (played by Meryl Streep) who's writing his story and a screenwriter called Charlie Kaufman (played by Nicolas Cage), who, in adapting the resultant book, writes himself into the movie...OK? Off-the-wall it may be, but Adaptation really is an adaptation - of a book called The Orchid Thief, which tells of a scheme hatched up by a Florida orchid hunter to use Seminole indians to lift the extremely rare 'ghost orchid' from protected swampland, clone it and sell it to orchid fans all over the world. As with Being John Malkovich, this new film is shot through with Charlie Kaufman's bizarre imagination, most notably the way he folds his own adventures into the story that he himself is trying to adapt, much as John Malkovich entered his own portal in the earlier film. A Columbia Pictures film, Adaptation also stars Catherine Keener (from Being John Malkovich) and the British actress Tilda Swinton. This new title in the NHB Shooting Scripts series includes the complete screenplay, an introduction by Charlie Kaufman, stills and credits.
Filled with gorgeous photography, behind-the-scenes ephemera, and
funny, inspiring interviews, There Are Many of Us celebrates the
uniquely spontaneous making of Spike Jonze's new movie I'm Here.
The book includes an original CD soundtrack as well as a DVD of the
30-minute movie, I'm Here, with special bonus content. I'm
Here--which opened the 2010 Sundance Film Festival--is a
boy-meets-girl love story, set in LA, experienced by robots.
Maurice Sendak′s classic book Where the Wild Things Are follows the adventures of Max, a headstrong young boy who leaves home after having a fight with his mother, only to find himself in a mysterious forest bordering a vast sea. Misunderstood and rebellious, Max sets sail to the land of the Wild Things, where mischief reigns. But how do you turn one of the world′s favorite children′s books into a movie? This film incorporates the most dynamic elements of voice performance, live-action puppetry, and computer animation into a live-action adventure story that captures the magic of the book-and takes it to a new dimension. In order to preserve the realistic nature of the film, the Wild Things are not created digitally. Instead, Spike Jonze brings these characters to life in the form of physical suits built by the Jim Henson Company. These creatures, operated by a suit performer, interact with the live actor playing Max on set in front of the camera. After principal photography is finished, CGI is being used to make the creatures completely lifelike and convincing. HEADS ON AND WE SHOOT unveils the unique collaboration behind this highly anticipated film-the combined work of Maurice Sendak, Spike Jonze, Dave Eggers, and all the cast and crew. The book design is heavily image-based, a mix of early sketches, storyboards, character designs, and extensive behind-the-scenes photographs that show both incredible live-action puppetry and computer animation. The text includes forewords by Jonze and Eggers, interviews with the cast and crew, stories from on and off the set, and early drafts of the screenplay. The resulting book will be simultaneously a beautiful object for collectors, an insider′s guide for devotees, and an intimate window into the creative process.
This lavishly illustrated monograph is the definitive publication on the internationally renowned Canadian artist Marcel Dzama. Characterized by an immediately recognizable cast of fanciful and frightening characters, Dzama's work draws from a diverse range of influences, including Dada and Marcel Duchamp. While the artist is best known for his delicate psychosexual drawings, his work also includes sculpture, painting, and film. More than 500 color images from the late 1990s through the present trace the artistic evolution and tremendous talent of this highly acclaimed young artist. Textual contributions include a foreword by the contemporary artist Raymond Pettibon, three original short stories inspired by Dzama's work by Dave Eggers, an essay by the art historian Bradley Bailey, and an interview with Dzama by the filmmaker Spike Jonze.
