Pros: Carrey's performance and everything else. Cons: None to be found.
Frank Darabont has an almost flawless record so far with his first two films. They were the Stephen King prison adaptations THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and THE GREEN MILE. Those two films were both nominated for Best Picture and Best Screenplay. Of...
Pros: Jim Carrey, and a great supporting cast, in one of the best films of 2001. Cons: Cynical types, and small tykes should probably spend their money elsewhere.
Reminiscent of great films such as "Citizen Kane" and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," this is a watershed role for Jim Carrey, and he makes the most of it. Backed by an excellent supporting cast (most notably the venerable Martin Landau, and newcomer...
Pros: A wonderous movie from the maker of my fav. movie of all, The Shawshank Redemption Cons: None
Have you seen The Shawshank Redemption? You should, and damn, you had better see this movie. This incredibly touching motion picture is one of the best movies I have seen. Jim Carrey does a 6-star job. The entire cast does a great job. The story is one...
Pros: Very beautiful movie about how people can change Cons: The camera lingers and almost everything is obvious
Carrey has the ability to play innocent and purity with his big eyes and his thinness and grace. He usually isn't considered a dignified actor of depth, but this is slowing showing through with his choice of scripts. Carrey is actually a soulful person...
Pros: Capra type film with an incredible performance by Jim Carrey Cons: Feel good movie that will deter many viewers from watching
When I think of the movies and the most memorable ones that have made an impression on me, I always seem to come back to two classics by Jimmy Stewart – Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It’s a Wonderful Life.
Pros: Carrey, Landau and the message, set design and music Cons: sentimental, I admit it
I was prepared not to like this movie. After all, I read a few reviews here, and I’m not as dumb as I look. However, I found that in spite of all warnings to the contrary, I liked this film. I didn’t LOVE it, but I did like it. Now you may think that is...
Pros: Jim Carrey, Warm, sentimental movie Cons: A few slow moments, predictable
This afternoon my hubby (Payso) and I decided to go and see a matinee. I really wanted to see "Ali", but living in a small down does have it's drawbacks...our small theater isn't showing it yet. I was disappointed but I've also wanted to see The...
Pros: Quiet and powerful character study. Cons: resolution was too pat.
The Majestic.
Quiet and powerful character study with many characters to study.
Jim Carrey plays Peter Appleton a screenwriter in Hollywood who has been named a Communist in the Joe McCarthy 50's. Blacklisted, dumped by the studio and his...
Pros: Visually tasty, great period film, enjoyable to watch, good music Cons: Predictable, contrived plot, can be slow
Gee, I wrote that catty headline, and now I feel bad because there are a lot of things I like about Jim Carrey's attempt at serious acting in The Majestic. He convincingly pulls it off at times, too.
Pros: Great vintage cars. Beautiful historic theater. Swingin' old music. Martin Landau's performance. Cons: Unnecessary improbabilities. Poor old-fashioned special effects. Pretentious. Too long.
Don't get me wrong. I liked "The Majestic." I thoroughly enjoyed, and highly recommend it. But Jim Carrey, you're no Jimmy Stewart. Frank Darabont, you're no Frank Capra. Lawson is no Bedford Falls. Alas, "The Majestic" is no "It's a Wonderful Life."...
Pros: story; message; performances Cons: tries a little too hard for the Oscar in some places
Less than a decade ago, Jim Carrey was moving his butt cheeks to give the illusion that his behind was talking. Nowadays, the only things of his that are moving are his performances.
Pros: Very good production values, good acting, nice plot Cons: A bit saccharine
THE MAJESTIC is a feel good movie that bears a few threads of resemblance to some other feel good movies of the past. The year is 1951 and Jim Carrey is a screenwriter in Hollywood; his latest swashbuckler has just premiered at Grauman's Chinese, and...
Pros: No Brainer entertainment, easy on the eyes, it has Martin Landau in it. Cons: Not exactly oscar winning stuff,
Next time your loved one suggests a nice quiet night in, with a bottle (or two) of wine and a nice, not too demanding film, then may I suggest The Majestic, starring Jim Carey. Now right away I can hear lots of you screaming at me "Nooooooo Jimblob! ...
Pros: it deals with some very timely issues nearly 50 years later Cons: some scenes are out of context with the time
The Majestic has opened to some very mixed reviews. The movie is slightly sentimental, but as someone who is quite familiar with the blacklisting of Hollywood in the 50's wherein people were put out of jobs, their careers jeopardized, and there was a...
Pros: You get a lot of movie for your $8. Cons: Long and drawn out
The Majestic is a good movie for the touchy-feely kind of people. The movie is mainly an inspirational love story, with many high and low points. The middle is long and drawn out with little excitement but many important scenes. But the...
