ANTARCTICA EXPERIENCED THROUGH MUSIC. Capsule Comments on CDs about Antarctica © Valmar Kurol (January 2016) NOTE: This valuable resource is kindly provided by. For those who came of age and became cognizant of pop culture in the 1990s, Jim Carrey was likely a touchstone of adolescent entertainment. He harnessed the.

Jim Carrey was likely a touchstone of adolescent entertainment. He harnessed the rambunctiousness of a pubescent boy and turned it into a paradigm of juvenile delinquency. A wild child who talked out of his butt, with those bugged- out eyes, elastic face, flailing gangly limbs and that impossibly ductile frame, he did for gross slapstick what George Carlin did for dirty words. Particularly in his iconic mid- ’9. Carrey treats his body like a man- sized rag doll, using his wiry features and face to project emotions words can only insinuate.

As if hopped- up on so many cans of Surge, Carrey acts like a boy in a man’s body, and yet he’s hardly masculine. While his contemporary male comedians (Adam Sandler, shudder) flaunted their manhood, endorsing frat- bro behavior. Carrey, on the other hand, seems more like the guy the frat bros beat up. That vulnerable, almost emasculated quality is evident in a surprisingly large number of his roles.

Maybe that’s why kids love him so much: he channels their innocence—and their inner Energizer Bunny—without being intimidating. For reasons unknown, “Dumb and Dumber To” is now a real thing. It reunites Carrey with Jeff Daniels, who probably needs a break from all the oppressive Mamet- speak of “The Newsroom.” Now in his 5. Carrey remains a bastion of articulate immaturity, and he’s now returning to the unrepentant style of stupidity that made him famous 2. Upon re- watching his entire oeuvre, it became clear that he tends to rehash similar personas in his lesser roles; but there are a few genuine moments of profundity in his long, strange career, which makes us wish the Canadian funny man was offered more serious roles. We present our ranking of Jim Carrey’s feature film performances. Keep in mind that we’re ranking his performances, not the films themselves, although it’s pretty obvious when Carrey’s desperately trying to salvage bad material.

Dumn and Dumber To” opens this Friday. READ MORE: Jim Carrey Perfects Matthew Mc. Conaughey’s Southern Drawl in ‘SNL’ Lincoln Sketch. All in Good Taste” (made in 1.

As an exercise in poor taste, “All in Good Taste” isn’t even bad enough to be fun. If you’re willing to drop 3. VHS on Amazon, this soft- core throwback can be all yours. Or you can just watch it piecemeal online. Carrey has a minute role as a mute naked camera man named Ralph, which isn’t at all memorable except for the fact that it’s Jim Carrey in a soft- core flick. All the gratuitous nudity (gratui- tits?

The Sex and Violence Family Hour” (1. Among other roles, Carrey plays a “coked- out mega millionaire who’s so paranoid he has armed guards checking out his armed guards.” A pseudo- movie comprised of unmemorable skits, though it does have a great title.

It’s worth mentioning, however, that you can already discern in Carrey’s caricatures the twitchy physical humor that would define his ’9. Finders Keepers” (1. Michael O’Keefe, an Oscar- winner who fell off the map, stars as a con man on the run from a woman’s roller derby team after he accidentally steals a dead man’s stolen money. Carrey pops up in a couple lame scenes as the inane dead man, who isn’t so dead (spoiler).

He’s just an idiot. The part amounts to zilch, but he also doesn’t do anything irritating either, so there’s that.

Copper Mountain” (1. A Lifetime- lite flick about some people who do some stuff at a ski resort. It does present Carrey’s first real role, however. It’s amazing how his innocent dunce persona is already so clear, rife with recognizable tics and that oafishly de trop humor. You can see shades of “The Cable Guy” and Lloyd Christmas here. Earth Girls Are Easy” (1.

Carrey, playing a singing alien named Wiploc, is hidden under a slab of makeup and hair. He kinda looks like a poor man’s Grinch. He’s upstaged by an equally unrecognizable Jeff Goldblum, playing an alien of a different color (they’re like a hairy pack of crayons).

Rubberface” (1. 98. It’s not, but it does exhibit more Carrey- isms than the previous drudge on his resume, especially the flailing, gangly limbs.

A scene in which he goes through a coterie of impersonations while trying on hats is reason enough to check this out. It also offers an apt mantra for Carrey’s career: “If all you do is goof around, people will say, ‘This guy’s a goof, he doesn’t have a brain.'”3. Once Bitten” (1. 98. A pre- “Twilight” vampire rom- com! With dancing! Carrey displays better moves on the dance floor in latter movies, but there’s something affable and endearing about his goofy nice- guy persona here. In a scene that prophesies the iconic (among millennials) “I Put a Spell on You” scene in “Hocus Pocus,” a vampire and Carrey’s lady friend have a dance- fight to the tune of Maria Vidal’s “Hands Off.” Nothing special, but not offensively bad, either. And Carrey turns the volume way down.

Anchorman 2” (2. 01. Carrey’s polite Canadian newscaster is one of the less- funny cameos in the long, cameo- saturated fight scene. Highlights include Kanye, Will Smith, Liam Neeson, and pretty much everyone who’s ever lived. 2. The Number 2. 3” (2. Joel Schumacher, who directed Carrey in that masterpiece of subversive wit “Batman Forever,” proves that the duo truly have chemistry.

The chemistry, however, has similar properties as mustard gas. The Number 2. 3” is almost offensively bad.

It tries to parade its preposterousness as profundity, and apparently assumes no one has seen “Fight Club” or any number of thrillers that rely on the split- personality trope. Give Carrey credit for trying to do something dark; take all that credit and more away for doing it in an awful movie.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls” (1. As much fun as a urinary tract infection and just as detrimental to one’s physical and mental well- being. It’s even grosser and more offensive than its predecessor, which is already pretty gross and offensive; it takes aim at the whole of humanity and basically pisses all over everyone, R Kelly- style.

If you have a pulse, or have ever had a pulse, or are related to someone who once had a pulse, this movie—”movie”—will find a way to insult you. Carrey tries hard, you try harder to forget. Pink Cadillac” (1. He’s only in 4. 0 seconds of the movie, but Carrey plays an Elvis impersonator, foreshadowing his (much better) Elvis via Andy Kauffman in “Man on the Moon.”2. High Strung” (1. 99. His final role before the breakout year of 1. In Living Color,” which is fantastic and you should go watch it right now), Carrey plays Death.

He kills a fly with his mind, acts nutty, and has the following exchange: “You’re weird.” “I’m Death.” The subsequent ads would flaunt Carrey as the focal point of the movie, but he’s only in it at the very end. It feels like an SNL skit. Mr. Popper’s Penguins” (2. Recycling bits from all his previous family- friendly roles, Carrey plays a divorced dad consumed by his job. He gets some penguins and becomes less of a jerk. He’s clearly having fun here, even if the audience isn’t.

Simon Birch” (1. 99. Carrey is the narrator of this by- the- numbers coming- of- age story. He does a competent job in an otherwise unmemorable film. You’ll probably forget you saw this not long after ejecting the disc from your DVD player.

Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (2. After the nuanced beauty of “The Truman Show” and “Man on the Moon,” Carrey reverted to his more- is- better style for this horrid bastardization of Dr. Watch Amazing Love Online Metacritic. Seuss’ beloved book.
