Best IMDB Review Ever

film is beautiful, 20 November 2000
9/10
Author: martin_bilodeau

This city is a wonderful world, with wonderfuls laughs and wonderful gifts...

but the Grinch (JIM CARREY) is not happy. Bad guy, green and alone with his dog to the top of a mount, he hates Christmas with his colors, costumes...and gifts. A little girl who doesn't understand why he hates this birthday, but she'll discover soon. Also, she'll discover that Christmas is a FAMILY and FRIENDSHIP birthday...

Director Ron Howard (Apollo 13 - Ransom - Ed-tv) directs very well. Yes, Jim Carrey is Jim Carrey, but in his costume and his make-up (Rick Baker) make his character an other dimension. The camera of Howard multiplies travelling and panoramic. Jim Carrey is often in the camera to show us his « real » face... extraordinary.

The film is coming very early, but the magic, the power of the art direction and set decoration are so fantastics and greats; the world of this city is like a dream, a dream of 120 minutes.

Jim carrey is sensationnal; Ron Howard's directing is brilliant subject is cool and amazing... childrens and adults will adore

Hillary Clinton's most recent typical campaign ad begins with her saying, "If you're looking for a typical political commercial, change the channel. Because this is an apolitical election."

I was thinking about why that line is particularly cringe-worthy. Aside from the obvious fact that she goes on to sound like a wonky politician for the next 45 seconds, just like every other commercial she's put out, it's the fact that she actually thinks someone might be sitting down in front of his or her television set, saying, "Gee, I sure hope I see a typical political commercial when I turn the TV on." Nobody wants to see that shit!

When I turn the TV on, I want to see dinosaur fights. Not political commercials. Get outta here with all that noise.

Hahaha.

Richard didn't know Charlton Heston had just died. Here is our conversation:

Me: Heston's dead, man.
Richard: Well, I guess we can finally take that gun...
