Fun With Dick And Jane
Dick (Jim Carrey) and Jane (Tea Leoni) are a typical suburban couple. They have a nice house in a development, she works as a travel agent to supplement his white-collar income, and their son's first language is Spanish thanks to spending so much time with nanny Blanca (Gloria Garayua). Things change in the blink of an eye when Dick is promoted to vice president of communications at Globodyne, where he has worked for years. His first order of business: to appear on a popular news show about business and money and lend his magic touch to news of Globodyne's earnings. But Dick doesn't know that Globodyne is about to tank, and in the midst of his interview the situation goes from bad to horrendous and he becomes the scapegoat. In the blink of an eye he is unemployed, his pension is bust, and he can't find a job to save his life. Their front lawn is even repossessed. To make matters worse, Jane quit her job as soon as Dick was promoted, their house has lost value, and their savings was in Globodyne stock. Months later the Harpers find themselves in increasingly dire straits. They resort to paying their nanny with appliances, selling all of their possessions and are facing foreclosure on their house when Dick has a brainstorm: he'll start to steal. Jane joins him, and soon the duo is dressing in elaborate costumes and robbing local businesses and homes. When their final job goes bust, they decide to go for the big heist: scamming Globodyne president Jack McAllister (Alec Baldwin) out of his stolen fortune. Dean Parisot ('Home Fries') directs this remake of the 1977 film of the same name, which has been cheekily updated to incorporate the phenomenon of white-collar crime. Richard Jenkins and Carlos Jacott round out the cast.

This film is ok for all the family. There are a few laughs at the beginning but be patient it does get better. Still worth watching though.

I expected more from this film given that the legend Jim Carey was in it. I was left disappointed. Some funny bits but overall not that good.

Kong triumphs over Aslan
The mighty gorilla has beaten the other king of the jungle in the US box office. Blockbuster King Kong topped the American cinema charts over the Christmas weekend by narrowly beating Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. Peter Jackson's remake of the classic film of a huge gorilla that falls in love with a tiny blonde actress, played by Naomi Watts, scooped just over £18 million between Friday and Boxing Day. But Aslan was hot on Kong's hairy heels, as the Chronicles of Narnia,...
