Exactly! Can't watch Jim Carey films at all! I'm the same with Nicohlas Cage, don't care what he's in - I just can't watch him and I can't really explain why

Yeh, I'm not a big fan either... I've loved some of his films and he's made some pretty decent ones... he's just hard to watch. Same with Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger for me... cinderella man was a nightmare :eek: my housemate and I after about 5 minutes kinda looked at eachother and I got the remote control.

Although I like renee in bridget jones and jerry maguire.. I just don't like her accent when she's thin it goes stupid! And I thought he was brilliant in american gangster, only film I've liked him in.

I do need to tell myself 'it's Jim Carrey in a serious role' otherwise I'm just waiting for him to pretend like he's speaking with his ass.

still without speakers but yeh, I know ABOUT the film. It got kinda mixed reviews but seemed intriguing.

Have you seen Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or The Number 23. Those are truly different. Not comedies.

the number 23 was uttter shite. horrible. i was embarassed for virginia madsen to even be in it. the other 2, good......eternal sunshine of the spotless mind brilliant!


i see a LOT more movies added on the list since yesterday, and now i don't fully agree. some of my FAVe movies.......out of africa, the english patient, lost in translation etc......i see listed now. eh well. but there are still plenty listed i agree with.

Haven't seen the number 23 yet. I read you didn't like Secret Window but I thought it was ok. Not great, or even good but enjoyable.

"didn't like" is far too weak, thought it was utter shite as well. and hey, i am ALL for making up your own mind.....but you are forewarned, that's all.

the secret window IMO was pure shite... absolutely agree 100% there.

TBH, and watch THIS post shake the thread up I can't stand Johnny Depp films in general. I dunno what he's trying to do... and for the love of god, somebody tell me WHY he's trying to do it! (cmon Rita, ya know ya wanna )

Everyone told me how great I Am Legend was but I was a bit disappointed really.

I'll see the number 23 eventually. I'm not going to rent it anyway

i am legend didn't disappoibt me, b/c i never expect much from flicks in that genre. so, for what it was, i found it entertaining enough. just not rally my kinda flick, bt gotta let hubby make some movie choices from time to time. compromise eh? i think i've helped influence/improve his movie choices ...but sure, i am a lot more open to flicks that normally i'd pass on. not to say i've grown to like any of em, haha, but with a different set of expecations....can at least be *enjoyable*


however, films of ANY genre can end up being utter shite.



in regards to johnny depp.....eh well....we all have different tastes. to see the beginnings of depp and his appeal/greatness as an actor, go see what's eating gilbert grape...tis the beginnings of his growth and appeal as an actor. he also takes some very interesting roles...some end up to be clunkers, but otehrs end up daring and exciting.

read all the posts here.

My movies that I can't stand are:

Pirates of the Caribien - nothing interesting to me, felt like I was too old for these movies
Lord of Rings
The Matrix
unbreakable
scarface - didn't do anything for me, bunch of cheese

Movies dissed here that are great:

Crash
Departed - best movie I've seen in a long time
Old school - funniest movie in a long time

Crash is horrible (more proof the Oscars are a sham).
Departed " " " " " " " " "

Old School is hilarious.

It really is all subjective.
I haven't seen Old School but LOVED the other 2 you mention.

Now me, I cannot stand Starship Troopers or anything that involves those kids playing hockey on top of the convenience store.
