I'll be the odd one out and say I've loved Jim Carrey in almost everything I've seen him in.

I just watched War of the Worlds, and I was pretty impressed for most of it. I mean, sure, the characters are meaningless, but the effects were awesome, and sticking to Ray's POV was both interesting and maddening. It made it less like a bombastic sci-fi flick and made the audience feel like we were in the shit.

I thought most of the early action sequences were exceptionally well crafted, and the scene later on with the eye roving through the basement was awesome. I liked the pacing because it felt realistic, since we were following one man's journey.

Everyone complained about the ending, and I was surprised that er, well, they actually just used the original ending, so...I really can't fault them for that, right? It's not Spielberg's fault the actual ending is so lame.

Overall, though, I think the movie captured the death and destruction and chaos and anarchy of an actual alien invasion.

The last 45 minutes of Nashville are my favourite Altman. For such a diffuse story beforehand, it comes together so solidly and with such a quick succession of gut punches that it's, ah... I can seem to find a way to finish this sentence. You can assemble something coherent and grammatically correct out 'wonderful' and 'surprising' if you so wish.

Reminded me a lot of early Battlestar Galactica tonally.

Stranger than Fiction is one of my favorite movies ever. I want to see it again right now.

I guess my favorite Jim Carrey role was in Peggy Sue Got Married. That being the only movie he's in that I've seen more than once.

I think the only movie with him that I've seen multiple times is Earth Girls are Easy.

I've seen Once Bitten a lot of times. I was stupid, and it was probably on cable a lot. But I am not ashamed of thinking he was good in Dumb and Dumber and especially Liar Liar.

Official website for the movie of The Golden Compass.

Just saw Elizabeth I with Helen Mirren.

This will shock you, I'm sure, but she's not a half bad actress. It's true!

So, you're saying there might be a future for her in the acting game?

Unrelated to the above, we rented Mission Impossible III and Gates of Heaven this weekend. One of those movies was not good. One was wonderful.
