going to the cinema tonight, so which film should i see?
i wanted to see c0ck and bull story but its not showing, munich looks good, but don’t think the person i am taking will enjoy it, so i am more tempted with rumour has it, or fun with d1ck and jane, get rich or die trin looked allright till i heard it was all about “c”rap music
king kong never appeared to me, which film would you want to see if i was taking you out :)

29 January, 2006 at 7:32 pm #185786I said king kong as i want to know what its like. But the Geisha one looks good too and the one with the 2 cowboys. Nominated for some awards i think so cannot be half bad. :D
I think i am too late though. What did you see?

30 January, 2006 at 1:31 am #185789Fun With Dick And Jane (2006)
Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni step into the shoes of George Segal and Jane
Fonda for Dean Parisot’s remake of 1977 caper Fun With Dick And Jane.
Sadly it’s a bad fit. For two such gifted comic actors, it’s surprising how
few sparks they generate as a suburban couple using armed robbery to
fund their plasma-TV-watching, sushi-noshing lifestyle. Their lack of
conviction seems rooted in a script that, like Dick, fires in all directions
and consistently misses the mark.Carrey’s unease is clear from the outset, howling a rendition of I Believe
I Can Fly to celebrate an imminent promotion. It’s trademark Carrey
shtick, only there’s a sense he’s holding back – wanting us to believe that
Dick is someone with real hopes and feelings instead of just a cartoon
patsy. When the company folds in an Enron-type accounting scandal and
his mortgage lender threatens eviction, Carrey even (gulp) sheds a tear.
By this stage, the only man more desperate than Dick is the actor playing
him – scrabbling to find the right tone.“CHEAP LAUGHS”
Parisot does his cast no favours, switching from screwball comedy to
political satire to heist caper in frantic search of a plot. Initially there are
funny moments (like Dick being interviewed live as the company
nosedives on the stock market) but when the couple finally turns to
crime, the gags run out. Carrey and Leoni are reduced to donning silly
costumes for cheap laughs before committing a criminally dull bank
robbery in a tacked-on finale. If fun means money, this is near bankrupt.I think I’ll give it a miss. 8-[
