For those of you who have had a chance to see Robert Zemeckis‘ latest motion-capture film A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carrey as Scrooge, Jim Carrey as The Ghost of Christmas Past, Jim Carrey as the Ghost of Christmas Present, and Jim Carrey as the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, what did you think about the choice to use the same actor four times over? Of course there are a few moments with Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Cary Elwes, and Robin Wright (no longer Penn) mixed in, but really the star of the show is JIM CAREY.
He’s shown us time and time again that he is one of the best and most popular physical comedians out there who has shape-shifted many times over. But did it work for you? Vote below…

It’s that time of year again when we’re about to be inundated with the Holiday spirit. Bah-Humbug! Our first film attempting to spread the Christmas joy (all the way in early November) is Robert Zemeckis’ latest live-action-animation, IMAX 3-D film A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carey multiple times over. This isn’t the original 1908 version, the 1938 film, 1951 adaptation titled Scrooge, or the 1949, 1971, 1982 (parts 1 and 2), 1984, 1989, 1994 (Flinstones version), 1997, 1999, 2000 or 2004 TV versions, or the straight to video versions by “Sesame Street,” “The Muppets,” or “Barbie”… but it sure feels a whole like all of them. The only difference is that this one is done in Zemeckis’ favorite half animation style and is in IMAX 3-D.
Is it worth it? Let’s discuss.

For all of you who thought The Truman Show was just another movie to Jim Carrey think again. The actor is taking a cue from the voyeuristic feature, and is allowing fans to get a peek into his life. Carrey has launched a website that will allow you to see more of him than you ever bargained for. Movie Jim Carrey is great, but real Jim Carrey is down right insane.

Besides Giamatti’s casting, the latest big news surrounding the film has to with Carrey’s massive weight gain for his part as Curly.

Disney has released another trailer for the Robert Zemekis adaptation of A Christmas Carol. The film stars Jim Carrey as the voice and digital image of the story’s villain, Ebenezer Scrooge. The film has all the traditional imagery that you would expect from the Charles Dickens’ classic, but with a layer of 3-D graphics. The second full length trailer is a bit more upbeat than the teaser we showed you a few weeks ago. It’s still slightly depressing, but not as much.
Take a look at the second trailer for A Christmas Carol…

In case anyone was wondering, I Love You Phillip Morris is about Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor being gay, gay, gay. I have no clue if the film will be half as fun as the trailer, but if it is, it could be one of the most entertaining films of the year. Although some annoying people have an issues with this film and its “graphic depiction of intimate homosexual relationships” nearly everyone at Sundance loved it and its about damn time we get some A-listers doing a gay romantic comedy.
Check out the trailer below…

Every year a list is compiled of the top earning actors in Hollywood. Typically this information is released in the beginning or halfway through the year. The information tallied is based on film revenue from the second half of 2008, combined with any upfront pay for films in 2009. Every year certain actors earn a spot on Forbes Magazine’s annual list of highest earning actors and I can’t understand why. This year, I put on my thinking cap and did some investigating. Not only have we discovered the outlandish numbers, but we’ve found out the truth behind them.

The elusive comedy-drama I Love You Phillip Morris has gained some marketing momentum with the release of a new poster. The film is directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa and stars Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor, and Rodrigo Santoro. Morris has been at the center of much controversy due to what some call “a graphic depiction of intimate homosexual relationships” between it’s main characters. It’s such a lame and unfair reason to shelve a film, but it looks as if it’s picked up some steam. The film is set for domestic release on February 12, 2010.
Check out the poster after the jump.
