Animal Man!



Ok so I went with an Oscar nominee last time so I thought I would switch it up a bit. I really like adding clips from the movies so i think i will make a habit of that. I just had to bring up Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. It really is one of my all time favorite comedies. What I think I appreciate most is the fact that I have never seen anyone act like Jim Carrey. He defines the role, as opposed to the other way around. His insane antics, and hilarious one-liners have me laughing uncontrollably throughout the movie. Say what you will about the predictable plot, and "stupid" humor as some might call it, but I find the movie funny. And to me, that's really all that matters some time. Of course I like movies that require a lot of thought and interpretation, but I don't think there's really anything wrong with just sitting back and relaxing the mind while Jim Carrey amazes me with his enthusiasm and commitment to his role. Alright, enough with this; I feel like I'm getting kind of preachy. But this movie gets a good grade in my book.

    when he is trying to investigate the mental institution where Ray Finkle was and he is pretending to be institutionalized is my favorite part - but his clip is great too! (BEEEEP HALF TIME!!!)
