Just watched Anvil.
Interesting and sad, you do feel sorry for them...but can't help but find them pathetic as well, to be honest.

And he actually does posess some serious actng talent, Punch Drunk Love convinced me of that. But it does go without saying that most of his films are terrible. However I think all he needs is some talented writers and directors to work with, which unfortunately for him is a rarity. And that being said Funny People does look very good, I'm not gonna ignore a potentially great film just because he's in it, that would be stupid. |

I actually love a lot of Carrey's older comic roles. Ace Ventura, Dumb & Dumber, Liar Liar, The Mask and especially The Cable Guy. I liked him in Me, Myself and Irene too.
But his more recent films have just come off as rather desperate, as he gets older he lacks the energy he used to have but he still tries to reuse the same gimmicks and it just dosen't work anymore. He's still a great dramatic actor though, I agree with that. I think Robin Williams is another good example of a comic actor who is actually better at dramatic roles. He hasn't been in a good comedy since The Birdcage, but he still churns out some amazing dramatic performances, I think that's what he should stick with for now on. |

Ace Ventura ftw.
Also watched Eraserhead last night. Scariest movie I've ever watched.

Lame. Totally, totally lame. I mean, the first one was believable and good up to a point, while the second installment of the trilogy here's just so overdone, badly written and takes far too many liberties in the name of (sports) dramatic license. I dread to think what the third one's like. Anyone who's thought about seeing this, just go and watch the Damned United instead. |
