    “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” Movie Review

    “Ace Ventura” Plot Summary

    A goofy detective specializing in animals goes in search of a missing dolphin mascot of a football team. add synopsis

    Funny, Funny, Funny

    Here it is, folks: the movie that made ‘Jim Carrey’ a household name overnight–’Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.’ Although the movie’s silly, crude, and often very childish, I still love the damn thing to death. It’s a classic. Just one of those movies that you know’s great but can’t accurately describe why. Maybe because Jim Carrey’s the only actor on earth who can pull Ace Ventura off without looking like a complete jackass. Yeah, I think that’s it. Can you think of any other actor on earth who could bend over, talk through his rectum, and still manage being funny and make sense? That’s what Carrey does here. Ace Ventura is obnoxious, but he makes sense and solves complex cases; he’s no idiot. The plot’s pretty good for a silly movie. Ace Ventura is hired by the beautiful Melissa Robinson (Courtney Cox) of the Miami Dolphins to retrieve their missing mascot dolphin–Snowflake

    This movie practically made Carrey a superstar overnight. (And even resulted in a funny but inferior sequel entitled–’Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.’) Had this not been made, we’d of never experienced the hilarity of ‘Dumb and Dumber’ or ‘The Mask.’ Jim Carrey’s a comedic genius. I miss the Dumb and Dumber/Mask era, when Carrey was in his prime and never took himself or his audiences too seriously.3 and a half stars

    “The Truman Show” Movie Review

    “The Truman Show” Plot Summary

    An insurance salesman/adjuster discovers his entire life is actually a TV show.

    True Best Picture of 1998

    A Solar eclipse occurs when a relatively small, dark, cold object comes between an observer and the brilliance of the sun. A Best Picture eclipse occurs when ‘Saved-By-The-Bell’-meets-’Amadeus’ and ‘Saving Private Shmaltzy’ comes between the movie-going-public and the brilliance of ‘The Truman Show.’Frankly, I don’t know how this script got past the powers-that-be in Hollywood. It is a scathing indictment of the media. My only guess is that they saw the word ‘comedy’ and ‘Jim Carrey’ and decided not to look at it too hard. And judging from some of the comments here, it went over the heads of a pretty good slice of the viewing public as well. This story is a modern-day fable — for those with the eyes to see

    If you are watching this to be entertained by Jim Carrey or to see a great sci-fi flick, you will be disappointed. If you are watching this to see the most elegant satire ever to grace the silver screen (maybe ever), then this movie is for you

    I will have this one on DVD. 9/10 —
