Cannes 2009: Carrey and co. Present A Christmas Carol
Summary
Big, fat flakes of white snow suddenly began tumbling down in the roasting afternoon heat of the Cannes Film Festival yesterday. It wasn't global warming. It was just Cannes. Because here, you can do that. The festival is its own Field Of Dreams: if you pay for it, it will come. You want Christmas in May? You got it. You want Jim Carrey throwing snowballs after being brought in on a horse-drawn carriage? You got that too. Striding up a frosty red carpet between a set of pumping snow-machines, Carrey, Jenny McCarthy, Colin Firth and Robin Wright Penn arrived in style for this scene of meteorological madness to introduce the world's first look at Robert Zemeckis' upcoming 3D 'toon A Christmas Carol.

on May 19 2009 05:23 AM bring on the 'Basterds'! just two more days... RT, please have a review of all of QTs films... kinda like the 'Bonding with Bond' thing... have somebody totally unfamiliar with his films and let that person review them... call it 'Tracking Tarantino' or 'Counting Quentin' or something catchy... from Reservoir Dogs up to Basterds! plsss.. do this RT... QT takes huge gaps when making movies... and when he finally does one, it delivers(Death Proof is debatable)... that's why it is always ANTICIPATED... and considering it is his last film for the decade, i think we owe it to him that we review the films of arguably the most influential director of the last 2 decades (Reply to this) |

on May 19 2009 09:56 AM Christmas Carol sounds great but I've got to agree with martinscorsese25 about the QT reviews. The lead up reviews of movies has totally got me hooked on RT. It's a great way to build anticioation and knowledge of our favourite films. Bring it on, and why not add in those few that he wrote before the numbskulls let him direct!!! (Reply to this) |
on May 19 2009 03:03 PM whatever, you quentin tarantino obsessed weirdos. i want to hear about basterds as much as you guys but instead of talking about that stuff why don't you talk about what actually was posted. personally i can't wait until a christmas carol comes out. jim carrey is awesome and robert zemeckis is good at what he does. this can't come out soon enough.

on May 19 2009 05:37 PM Jim Carey used to be so funny! Ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber were awesome. Why has he turned so average. Just like Eddie Murphy. They become stars and everyone loves what they do then they change. It sucks! (Reply to this) |

on May 20 2009 01:00 AM I like it so much better when Zemeckis makes "real" movies with real people. The facial expressions in The Polar Express were undoubtedly pretty awful and made the whole flick nearly unwatchable. What´s the use of this? (Reply to this) |
on May 20 2009 10:35 AM In reply to this comment (#2486214) Don't even think of comparing Jim Carrey to Eddie Murphy!! Eddie Murphy just works for a paycheck now, Jim Carrey actually tries to challenge himself and do new things. Sure, he's put out some stinkers, but nowhere near the bombs that Eddie Murphy has spent the last decade trotting out. (Reply to this) |
