Which Jim Carrey Production is His Finest?

By Carl Savage

Jim Carrey has been one of the most prominent comedy actors of this generation. With millions of fans around the world, his movies often sit atop the box office right after they're released. During the course of the last 15 years, Carrey has starred in a host of movies, delivering endless laughs to his audiences.

At the end of the day, determining which Jim Carrey movie was his best is a difficult task. With so many great movies in his arsenal, it's hard to narrow it down to one.

Looking at some of Jim Carrey's earlier movies, the first two that put him on the map were his Ace Ventura movies and The Mask.

Carrey's versatility as an actor was definitely showcased in The Mask, as he played a character with an absolutely huge personality.

Other movie fans may point to Dumb and Dumber, the Farrelly Brothers production that many might call one of the funniest movies of their lifetime. Carrey teamed up with Jeff Daniels in a classic movie that had people repeating its lines for years. In fact, people still do this present day.

Moving forward, there were movies like Me, Myself and Irene, not to mention The Cable Guy, a movie that seems to polarize its viewers. Believe it or not, there are many who believe that The Cable Guy was Carrey's most inventive performance and his best work.

Those into the more serious side of Carrey may opt for his great work in movies like The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Carrey gave sensational performances in both of these movies, each of which earned him consideration for an Oscar in the minds of many.

Regardless of which Carrey movie stands out in your mind, one thing is for sure. He's been one of the best movie stars of this generation and a pleasure to watch on the big screen. - 31887

A Short Bio of Katharine Hepburn

By Donny Haaver

In'07 Katharina Houghton Hepburn was born in Hartford, Connecticut to a mother who was a feminist as well as suffragist and a father who was a doctor leading the way in STD prevention. Katharine Hepburn is considered the best actress in the world by many and while she many longer be with us today, she is still loved.

Her parents were free spirits and because of this Katharine as well as her 5 siblings were able to enjoy the freedom to be themselves while growing up. This of course was very helpful for developing her acting abilities at a young age. However childhood went by quickly and before she knew it, she was attending Bryn Mawr College where she met Ludlow Smith and married him after gradation.

Unfortunately as most things are, her marriage ended in'34 by divorce. However, it is the experiences in life that made Katharine who she was. During attendance at Bryn Mawr, she also took an active role in the performing arts and even managed to appear in several Maryland productions. Shortly after graduation she moved in to the Broadway scene with her first appearance being in the musical The Big Pond.

It would not be until'32 that Katharine Hepburn would receive her first real break in the musical The Warrior's Husband. Her performance was seen by a number of big names which ultimately led to her first screen test which landed her a role in A Bill of Divorcement which was released later that year. The following year she would receive her first Academy Award for her role in Morning Glory (a movie that is still available today at Netflex dvd rentals).

Hepburn returned to New York in'33 where she appeared in the musical The Lake. This show was a flop both according to the critics as well as the audiences. It would not be until'35 that Katharine would finally find her way back into films, but was unable to land any good gigs for a while.

All that changed in'38 with the film The Philadelphia Story which she turned into a musical. She would continue on working between Hollywood and Broadway for most of her life and receive Academy Awards one right after another. She also won the Lifetime Achievement Award as well. Her last film was a guest appearance in'94 and on June 29th of 2003, Katharine Hepburn would pass a way having lived to be 96 years old. - 31887

Watch These Great Cable TV Comedies

By Ellen Riggs

Who doesn't like a great TV comedy? I know that I do, and there are some shows whose new episodes I look forward to every week. I try to discover as many new shows as I possibly can, and I'd like to share one established show and one newer one that I happen to be a huge fan of.

Here are two enjoyable comedies on cable TV that you might like watching if you have a little more room in your day. I apologize in advance if you've already seen these shows. If you have in fact seen them, I don't doubt that you probably enjoy them too.

Larry David is absolutely great in Curb Your Enthusiasm. This show has been around for nearly seven years, and it seems to grow more popular with each season. I'm always laughing when I watch this show.

You might not know this, but Larry David was the original creator of Seinfeld. Rather than being a writer this time, he acts as the show's star. The situations he finds himself in are very awkward and funny all at once.

The situations are very Seinfeld-like, and if you liked Seinfeld, you'll definitely like Curb. The show is in the midst of what must be its 6th or 7th season in 2009, and you're in for a treat if you haven't seen the seasons before this one. I wish I could go back and watch so many original episodes for the first time.

The next show I'm going to mention is a lesser known comedy that I'm surprised more people don't know about. In fact, many people don't even realize that Starz has original productions. Regardless, Party Down follows the lives of a catering company in Los Angeles.

Each week, the characters on the show find themselves at a new event, and every half hour episode is full of laughs. From corporate retreats to college events and high school reunions, they're just about everywhere.

There are some actors on this show that you'll probably recognize from other shows and movies, and they all do an incredible job at bringing the show its many laughs. - 31887
