The Number 23 (no more rubber faced Jim Carrey/ A SERIOUS Jim Carrey)

The Truman Show
The Majestic
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

If not the first two...definitely the last.



(Btw what I'm saying is that he's done serious roles before and he's EXCELLENT at them)

The "serious Jim Carrey" part concerns me a bit, but had I not already had some cemented faith in his acting abilities, I'd be worried.

[Trinitus]

I wouldnt be worried either cause i have realised that commedians from what i have seen can play these Serious Roles very well, take Jack Black for instance School of Rock>>>>King Kong see what i mean??? I think that has to do with the fact that in comedy they can portray any role they can get into cause its easy...easy cause its funny. My 2 cents and dinner mint..

[Qloxx]

What about Robin Williams in Insomnia with De nero freaky. But the movie looks good

[W1nTry]

Actually I rather disliked Jack Black in King Kong so I wouldn't use that as an example. Its interesting I remember watching on E or some other such channel where actor/actresses said comedy is one of the hardest roles to act and only a few can pull it off. So it leads me to wonder if its easier for a comedian to act a serious role... or a normally 'serious' actor to act a comedic role... I mean if yuh look at things like Arnold doing Terminator then doing Twins... yuh see where things go awry (not that arnold is the best example) so how about Robert De Niro acting in say HEAT (I beleive it was heat) then acting in Rocky and Bullwhinkle... WDF??? So maybe it is  better a comedian go serious than the other way around...

Robin Williams in serious roles... good god he's great in serious roles....


Anyone ever seen "The Final Cut" or "What Dreams May Come"?

[W1nTry]

Yuh know I forgot bicentienial man.. I really liked that movie and though it was somewhat of a romantic comedy it was also quite a serious role...

[Berzerk]

hmmm im not worried about jim carrey's acting abilities nuh

im more worried about the director......egads!

[disciple]

nah. the man could get on bad...  as synchronomyst said..  eternal sunshine....


anybody caught robin williams in one hour photo? lol.. that was a teifhead.. man played a nutter who drove a YARIS, yes.. lol

So despite the fact that this movie has garnered negative reviews from movie critics...I watched it yesterday (via pirated copy) and I found the movie to be quite entertaining. It's an interesting look into obsessive compulsion and psychosis. Carrey's acting performance was good (not great) and you really get the idea the he had a genuine feel for this character. I think most movie critics truly missed the mark on the type of movie this is supposed to be. I read one person used the word "conspiracy movie" in describing this film. He's, coinicidentally, an idiot. The movie is is a foray into the distubed mind and a bit of a metacommentary on fate. If you have any appreciation for pyschological thrillers you'll like it.

The only thing that was bad....was possibly the film noir elements during the recanting of the novel. Bleh.


Not an oscar contender but still a must see.

[TheApprentice]

I looking forward to seeing it...

From the ad i saw...it looks quite fun
