Entertainment v. REAL good movie

[parfait]

The best film ever is without a doubt Shaft.


"You know it's my duty to please your black booty" (and yes, I'm talking to you MPBL)


Close second is El laberinto del fauno.

I thought that would get your attention. I would call it 40 Year Old Virgin humor but with a gorgeous hunk in it.

I'm pretty hard to please when it comes to comedy movies. GI Jim might not wanna hear this (sorry, sarge) but I hate virtually everything Jim Carrey has ever been in. I just don't think he's funny. I didn't care for either Ace Ventura movie ..... Me, Myself & Irene ...... The Cable Guy ...... The Mask ....... Dumb & Dumber ...... or The Truman Show. I did like him in Liar, Liar though. I haven't seen Bruce Almighty but people tell me it's good. Not sure if I want to rent it someday. Jim Carrey has let me down so many times before. Can I find it in my heart to forgive him? IDK......

Most Jim Carey movies don't appeal to me, but I have to say that I really liked "Eternal Sunshine on a Spotless Mind" where he wasn't being "Jim Carey"...it's a clever movie with the aesthetics I like.
p.s. I heart RPattz, too.

Eternal Sunshine is movie brilliance.

It was written by Charlie Kaufman who also wrote "Adaptation" - another one I love. It's a kooky convoluted story based on a true story from a book (The Orchid Thief)...it's basically about passion - but a different kind of passion...I just think it was a fascinating story and then written into an odd but great screenplay.
He also wrote "being John Malkovich" but I've never seen that movie...or the latest one he wrote...his movies seem to be in a similar vein.
