MOVIE REVIEW
Jim Carrey has had an interesting career. For the most part, he is known as a comedian, as a man who makes slapstick and funny movies. But lately, he has been mentioned as a good actor, earning Golden Globe nominations for his comedy dramas The Truman Show and Man on The Moon. When comedy is involved, the movies usually turn out to be pretty good and pretty popular (with exception to the last movie mentioned). But what will happen when Jim Carrey takes on a drama with little comedy? You'll see in The Majestic, his latest film about a blacklisted screenwriter who suffers amnesia and finds himself mistaken for a young man who was apparently killed in the war. Full movie review »
