|
 |
Saw this advertised on television last night. Looks quite an interesting movie but I was quite surprised to find that Jim Carrey was in it. Certainly not his typical role in a movie!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481369/
Virginia Madsen is in it too! I havent seen her in anything since Candyman! Oh and Joel Schumacher directing?! Its gotta be good!
May the NFOrce be with you always.

Yup saw the trailer at QT.com last week, looks cool. Nope its not one of Carrey's "normal" roles this one, I guess he got fed up playing the fool all the time.. He did a really good job in "The Truman Show". Looking forward to see it.

 I take it you liked it, then.
So our opinions void on one movie, but my point still stands: Joel Schumacher is a pile of shit director. |

The Lost Boys is an awesome movie. One of the best vampire flicks ever in my opinion!
May the NFOrce be with you always.

.. and I can't say Bad Company, Tigerland and Phone Booth "utterly suck" either. Not spectacularly brilliant but not crap.

Sam Jackson standing up in court shouting
"yes they deserved to die, and i hope they burn in hell"
Other than that its pretty forgettable.
his films are ok on the whole, nothing special but he is compitent (sp??) enough

Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!

Everything Joel Schumacher does is shit.
He is competent at nothing.
The only thing that ever makes any of his movies even watchable is the actors. Falling down would have been NOTHING without Michael Douglas.

Just saw it...all in all not bad, but could have been a bit different, different in the way of expanding a bit more on "the nr.23", see the film and you know what I mean.
If your in to psychological thrillers I guess this one would rate a 8/10...maybe. A bit slow all over and a bit..."wanna be like the sixths sense" sorta.
Carrey is trying very hard to play this role "serious" i guess he does that partly, sometimes the comedian side of him shines through, no matter how much blood and weird camera angles the director throws in. I don't particularly like psychological thrillers so I give it a 6/10

watched Number 23, thought the film was very slow and wasnt really going anywhere until towards the end. Had high expectations from this film since watching the trailer.
