The Jim Carrey Handbook – Everything You Need to Know about Jim Carrey $26.98 James Eugene "Jim" Carrey (born January 17, 1962) is a Canadian-American actor and comedian. Carrey began stand-up comedy in 1979, performing at Yuk Yuk’s in Toronto, Ontario. After gaining prominence in 1981, he began working at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles where he was soon noticed by comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who immediately signed him to open his tour performances. Carrey, long interested in film and television, developed a close friendship with comedian Damon Wayans, which landed him a role in the sketch comedy hit In Living Color, in which he portrayed various characters during the show’s 1990 season. Having had little success in television movies and several low-budget films, Carrey was cast as the title character in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective which premiered in February, 1994 making more than $72 million domestically 1]. The film spawned a sequel, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995), in which he reprised the role of Ventura. These higher-profile roles eventually led to his being cast as Stanley Ipkiss in The Mask (1994) for which he gained a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, and as Lloyd Christmas in the comedy film Dumb and Dumber (1994). Between 1996 and 1999, Carrey continued his success after earning lead roles in several highly popular films including The Cable Guy (1996), Liar Liar (1997), in which he was nominated for another Golden Globe Award and in the critically acclaimed films The Truman Show and Man on the Moon, in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Both films earned Carrey Golden Globe awards. Since earning both awards- the only two in his three-decade career- Carrey continued to star in highly acclaimed comedy films, including How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) where he played the title character, Bruce Almighty (2003) where he portrayed the role of unlucky TV reporter Bruce Nolan, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004), Fun with Dick and Jane (2005), and Yes Man (2008). Carrey has also taken on more serious roles including Joel Barish in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) alongside Kate Winslet and Kirsten Dunst, which earned him another Golden Globe nomination, and Steven Jay Russell in I Love You Phillip Morris (2010) alongside Ewan McGregor.

Jim Carrey: Man On The Moon/Liar Liar [2 Discs] $12.71 Includes two of comedian Jim Carrey’s hottest films.LIAR LIAR: An unctuous, smooth-talking divorce attorney’s propensity for propitious prevarication may wow the juries, but his five-year-old son, Max, wants an end to the lies. So when Dad blows off the boy’s birthday bash with yet another weak excuse, Max wishes his dad to spend a whole day incapable of lying. And lo and behold, the wish comes true, with hilariously disastrous results in the courtroom.MAN ON THE MOON: MAN ON THE MOON is a keenly observed biopic directed by Milos Forman based on the life of Andy Kaufman. Kaufman (Jim Carrey) was an eccentric comedian who went on to enjoy a career as lovable foreign car mechanic Latka Gravas on TV’s TAXI and later gained infamy as an intergender wrestling champion. The film studies some of Kaufman’s comedy antics as well as his personal life and his relationship with his manager, George Shapiro; his best friend and business partner, Bob Zmuda; and his girlfriend, Lynne Margulies. Many of the stars of TAXI play themselves in the film. |

Jim Carrey: Fun And Funnier $4.99 Kidding Around with the King of Comedy Jim Carrey is used to being laughed at. In fact, he thrives on entertaining others. As a precocious young boy, he practiced pulling faces in the bathroom mirror — a talent that would later prove to be instrumental in his success — and performed self-created skits for his family. Unfortunately, his life wasn’t one smooth cruise to the top. The Canadian-born funnyman’s rags-to-riches tale is the stuff dreams are made of. Since his early smash hit Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, the blockbuster movie roles just keep on coming. But Carrey isn’t content simply to play it safe and stick with the slapstick comedy roles he knows and performs so confidently. In fact, with releases such as The Truman Show and Man on the Moon, Carrey has challenged himself creatively and shown audiences that he is capable of demonstrating sensitivity and immense dramatic range. With his latest hit move, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, this shooting star’s future just keeps getting brighter! |
