Touching performances

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2000)

I rented Man On The Moon the other night, and not because I like Andy Kaufman. I'm only 15 so I hardly ever saw who he was. But, that's beside the point. I came away from the movie in awe. This is the 3rd movie from 1999 that left me feeling that the acting was perpetually classic. (The other performances being Sigourney Weaver in "A Map Of The World" and Kevin Spacey & Annette Bening in "American Beauty")Jim Carrey was simply wonderful in this film. I usually don't like Courtney Love, but after this film I do. The funeral scene at the end was simply genious, and Jim Carrey has never acted better. What p***es me off is that the Academy Awards couldn't even recognize him by at least giving him a nomination. Kevin Spacey was good too, but why didn't Carrey get a nom? He won a Golden Globe, which is great in itself. I'm beginning to like the Globes better anyway. They nominated Ms. Weaver for "Map" while Oscar didn't. Jim Carrey was excellent and I just want to say that and recommend this film to any who think about renting it.
