A Christmas Carol - Movie Review

Jim Carrey plays eight roles in this stupendously visual reworking of Charles Dickens. iconic holiday tale; he delivers each character in unique ways, through accent, facial expression, and carriage.

The Unseen Movie Review - The Box
6 November 2009 10:20 AM, PST
When I was a wee lad who was old enough to make wee on his own, I used to watch the Twilight Zone. This was not the classic Rod Serling series but a new updated version. The Serling series was black and white. Who watches black and white? Communists and Vikings. There was this one episode where a box with a button is delivered to a married couple and they are told that if they push the button someone somewhere that they don.t know will die and they will be given a lot of money. Clever premise, even for a junior high kid who had just recently stopped wetting his pants. To this day, I still remember the end »
