A good movie

When I heard about this flick, I was really intrigued. Indeed, I really loved Milos Forman’s previous movie, ‘The People vs. Larry Flynt’, and the guy was coming up with a biographical tale about another celebrity. On top of that, Jim Carrey really impressed me with ‘The Truman Show’ so it was really neat that the guy was showing up a year later in another high profile drama. Eventually... read more

It is truly sad that we have to wait until a person is dead and gone to give him or her the honor they should have received while alive. Andy Kaufman was a man of many talents, and I saw him only as this funny little man on a TV show called, "Taxi" with a cute accent. Who could not fall in love with that person he was on "Taxi"? He was cute, honest, kind, and funny! Who knew that while we were all... read more

"Re-watch - Dec. 1st So this month my main goal as I revisit my shelves is to watch movies I haven't seen since before joining the site. I can't even remember the last time I watched Man on the Moon, but I know the first time I watched it was in theatres and the second was at home in the early '00s. Which means the copy I own now had never been watched since whenever I bought it. And this is why I take time to watch things on my shelves. Anyway, Man on the Moon is still great. It's a wonder to "

"Hugely underrated biopic of Andy Kaufman, a man who crosses the boundaries between lunatic and genius. Jim Carrey is magnificent as the comic who went against the grain of standard comedy. With a strong supporting cast and terrific direction from Milos Foreman, Man on the Moon is a forgotten gem that demands attention, especially after the Netflix documentary Andy and Jim. One to track down and Carrey best performance ever."
