Did Jim Carrey earn handsomely by making a bold move? (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Known for hilarious hits like Dumb and Dumber and deeply nuanced roles in movies like The Truman Show, Jim Carrey proved time and again that he could bring any character to life. But there was a twist in his career where a bold, unconventional deal turned into a jackpot.

After a couple of setbacks, including Fun with Dick and Jane, Carrey found himself doubting his choices and career direction. Instead of sinking into self-pity, he took a gamble on Yes Man. But here’s the kicker—Carrey didn’t take a paycheck upfront. Instead, he made an audacious move by negotiating a deal to get 36.2% of the profits. Yeah, you heard that right. There is no upfront cash, just a percentage of whatever Yes Man would make.

Most actors would’ve laughed at this deal for being too risky,...

Netflix’s fifth and final original Christmas movie for 2024 is now streaming, and this one is animated. But you’re still going to recognize a whole lot of the cast.

And as you meet those groups and pairings, you’re definitely going to recognize some of those voices. Here’s who we have.

Jim Carrey became a significant name in the industry for his slapstick roles. However, apart from his contributions to comedy, the Canadian actor also garnered widespread fame for dramatic roles in films like The Truman Show and Man on the Moon. Sadly, Carrey never got his deserved respect for his serious roles. His role in The Truman Show did not even get an Oscar nod.

Jim Carrey became a comedy sensation worldwide for his roles in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, Liar Liar, and Bruce Almighty. The first three films led the actor to create a unique record of leading three box office no.1 films in a year. But, this also raised a massive problem in his career as he was typecasted as a comedic actor.

Others in the cast include Brenda Strong (Desperate Housewives) and newcomer Emily McEnroe (Ryan Murphy’s Monsters).

The film is described as an uplifting tale about three lovably quirky Bigfoot seekers who become desperately lost in the wilderness and are thrust into a life-and-death ordeal. They soon realize they’ve also been lost in life, and must not only save themselves, but commit to a life worth saving. Clinging to the wisdom of their Bigfoot Society’s eccentric, long-lost founder (Darby), and the guidance of its current matriarch (Strong), the trio wrestle with past traumas, personal demons, and lost...

After starring in iconic films like The Mask, Bruce Almighty, and Liar Liar, Jim Carrey has become one of the industry’s most fan-favorite stars. His success in the comedy genre has established him as a household name. However, he also emerged as a majestic box office force in the mid-90s after delivering three memorable hits within one year.

Jim Carrey did the unthinkable when he delivered three hits in a single year as a leading star. A decade after his feature film debut with 1984’s Finders Keepers, Carrey delivered three consecutive box office hits in 1994 with Ave Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber.

While once the industry norm, since the 2010s, Hollywood has notably shifted away from mid-budget productions, at least on the mainstream level, making big-budget productions their priority. And the root cause for it can be tied to the superhero industry, especially the MCU, which had a stranglehold at the box office with nearly all of its productions in the last decade.

However, the genre that suffered the utmost consequences following the rise of superhero productions was comedies, which led Zooey Deschanel to believe her career was dead as a result.

Best known for starring in films like (500) Days of Summer, Yes Man, Almost Famous, and the holiday classic Elf, as well as Fox’s hit sitcom New Girl, Deschanel has most recently been seen starring opposite Casey Affleck in Roadside’s Emerson brothers drama Dreamin’ Wild from Love & Mercy helmer Bill Pohlad, which world premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

Jamie Otis has come a long way since their trailer park days, but that doesn’t mean she’s been able to put the past behind her.

While she’s living a beautiful life today with a stunning home, a doting husband, and two lovely kids, her life was far from perfect growing up.

Admittedly, Jamie was once embarrassed about their poor upbringing, and she recently reflected on that on social media.

When we first met Jamie in 2014, during the first season of Married at First Sight, she was honest about her upbringing.

Not only did she tell her new husband, Doug Henher, about her past, but she also took him to the trailer park where she once lived with her siblings and her mom-who was hooked on drugs.

It was an emotional moment for Jamie, who, by that time, had already left that life behind and was working as a registered nurse.

Actor Peter Spellos had over 150 screen acting and vocal performance credits to his name, but genre fans are most likely to remember him as Orville Ketchum from the slasher movie Sorority House Massacre II and its companion piece Hard to Die, as well as the brief appearance he made as the character Tracy’s father in Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare. Outside of horror, he’s best known for providing the voice of Sky-Byte in 39 episodes of the animated series Transformers: Robots in Disguise. Unfortunately, we have very sad news to share today, as it has been confirmed that Spellos has passed away at age 69 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Born on March 1, 1954, Spellos passed away yesterday, November 19th, at the Franciscan Hospice House in Indianapolis. His brother, James Spellos, notified TMZ that his family is planning an online “celebration of life” gathering for his fans.

Former sitcom star and high-profile member of the Church of Scientology Danny Masterson has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for violent crimes a jury says he committed during the height of his "That 70's Show" fame, per Variety. The actor was sentenced today on charges of forcible rape stemming back to the early 2000s; he was found guilty on two of the counts, while the jury reportedly ended up deadlocked on a third charge.

Masterson was once known for playing Steven Hyde, an anti-authority teen stoner and fan-favorite character on the long-running sitcom "That '70s Show." His other credits include movies like "Yes Man" and "Dracula 2000" and roles on sitcoms like "Men at Work" and "The Ranch" (the latter a Netflix series that reunited Masterson with former "'70s Show" costar Ashton Kutcher before he was fired in 2017). It was Masterson's fame that his victims and prosecutors in...

Zooey Deschanel has been in the public eye for nearly three decades, and she's accomplished quite a bit in her lifetime.

Following her success from "Elf," Deschanel appeared in a number of popular movies throughout the remainder of the 2000s, including "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," "Yes Man," and the indie rom-com "500 Days of Summer" alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Film is not the only place Deschanel is popular, however. She is also well-known for her role as Jessica Day in the sitcom "New Girl" and for being one half of the music duo She & Him.

Over on the TV side of things, Prime Video subscribers can check out the Sigourney Weaver project The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart on Aug. 4 and Harlan Coben’s Shelter on Aug.

Unfortunately for Tolkien fans, there’s no new season of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” to dive into this August, but there are some fantastic titles coming to Prime Video all throughout the month.

I grew up watching ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’, ‘The Truman Show’, ‘Yes Man’, ‘Man on the Moon’ and compilations of his best bits from ‘In Living Color’. I adore the talent that man shares. But I’m not mourning his talent after his announcement of a potential retirement. In fact, I’m celebrating the news. For anyone out there in mourning, however, I don’t think it’s worth the time. You see, Hollywood has a habit of “retiring”, but only for a moment. So, even if Jim goes Mia for a while, that doesn’t mean he’s done with the business just yet.

As the Hollywood blockbuster machine continues to dust itself off and release some early winter hits, Hulu is going in a bit of a different direction with its list of new releases for November 2021.

There are no big Hulu original films of note this month. Instead there’s a whole host of original series. The TV parade starts on Nov. 5 with the release of Animaniacs season 2. Also getting a second season this month is monarchal comedy The Great on Nov. 19. The most intriguing series, however, is animated Marvel comedy Marvel’s Hit Monkey. As its name so graciously implies, this is a show about a hit monkey…as in monkey assassin. Naturally the hit monkey is haunted by the ghost of Jason Sudeikis because it’s important that everything make sense.

Though Hulu doesn’t have any original movies in November, its list of library movie titles is quite vast.

Netflix is the king of the streaming world until proven otherwise. But in recent months the streamer’s lists of new releases have looked relatively sparse as competing media conglomerates remove their titles from Netflix’s library. With its list of new releases for April 2021, however, Netflix appears to have its original production machine operating at high capacity once again.

There are plenty of intriguing Netflix original series and films this month. The one that appears to have the highest blockbuster potential though is the series Shadow and Bone on April 23. Shadow and Bone is adapted from Leigh Bardugo’s Grisha-verse trilogy and should bring another compelling sci-fi/fantasy universe to the streaming world.

When 2021 began, many movie lovers were hopeful April would be the month of the rebound. James Bond was scheduled to (finally) return at the beginning of the month, and Marvel’s Black Widow was waiting at just the end of it. This of course did not happen.

Nevertheless, for those looking for more bite-sized distractions over the usual binging blur on streaming services, there is still relief coming on Netflix. While all of the below movies are relatively recent, chances are you haven’t seen any of them in a long time, if at all. So sit back, relax, and find out the best options to Netflix and chill this April.

Insidious (2011)

April 1

As the movie that arguably ushered in the horror movie renaissance of the 2010s—or at least cemented the Blumhouse Productions formula—Insidious has become strangely overlooked. This is probably due to director James Wan and star...

How are we supposed to live without Michael Bolton and Zooey Deschanel? Turns out we won’t have to. Bolton and Deschanel have signed on to host “The Celebrity Dating Game,” a new take on the format that has been picked up by ABC for eight one-hour episodes.

You read that right. Bolton. Deschanel. Celebrities. “Dating Game.” As Bolton might croon, TV is Back on Its Feet Again. Produced by Sony Pictures TV, the original “Dating Game” ran on ABC from 1965 to 1973, and has inspired several updates since then (the most recent being a syndicated revival in the late 1990s).

This one, with Bolton and Deschanel at the helm, promises “a wry wink at modern dating with a star-studded roster of celebrity singles in their pursuit to find love. Offering a spin on the classic dating show, the celebrity guests will remain a mystery as one lucky suitor is chosen...

Netflix has released a first look trailer for their new feature film “Yes Man” directed by Miguel Arteta; the family flick is an adaptation of the novel written by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and has a script from screenwriter Justin Malen.

Rhys Darby is set for the lead role in the upcoming HBO Max pirate comedy series “Our Flag Means Death,” Variety has learned.

The series was originally ordered at the streamer back in September. It is loosely based on the real life of Stede Bonnet (Darby), a well-to-do gentleman farmer and child of wealth in the 18th century who suffers a mid-life crisis and becomes captain of the pirate ship “The Revenge.”

The role will reunite Darby with Taika Waititi, who is attached to executive produce and direct the pilot of the series. The pair previously worked together on the HBO series “Flight of the Conchords” and the film “What We Do in the Shadows.” Darby starred in both projects, with Waititi serving as a writer and director on the HBO series and star, co-writer, co-director, and producer on the film. Darby is also set to appear in the upcoming sports comedy “Next Goal Wins,...

When you hear that there’s a new Bruce Willis movie to watch, you probably don’t make many positive assumptions about it. But nevertheless, he remains one of Hollywood’s most prolific actors, and there’s no denying that he seems willing to keep churning out films so long as people keep flocking to them.

His newest effort has just landed on Netflix, but we’d advise viewing it at your own risk. Action thriller Hard Kill tells the story of a billionaire CEO (Willis) who hires a mercenary group to protect a deadly piece of tech. But when his daughter is kidnapped, the leader (Jesse Metcalfe) and his team must work fast to protect her and ensure that the lethal technology doesn’t result in humanity’s demise.

You’re probably not hurting for things to watch on Netflix so far this month thanks to the platform’s seemingly endless content drops that provide plenty of incredible new films and shows to dive into. But if you’ve already given a look to such big titles as Knock Knock, Yes Man, Prospect and Ocean’s Eleven, you may be eager for something fresh to add to your list. Lucky for you, today’s drop is adding an extremely popular comic book movie that many consider to be one of the best of all-time.

V for Vendetta is a 2005 action thriller that’s based on the 1988 comic series of the same name. It follows a young woman (Natalie Portman) who joins a masked vigilante (Hugo Weaving) to take on London’s fascist government in the aftermath of a terrible world war, and it deals with a myriad of important social...

If you’re a Netflix subscriber, there’s a decent chance you’ve built up a backlog of content on the platform, especially considering how much fantastic stuff has been added over the past few months. And, of course, rest assured that just as soon as you begin to knock a few things off your list, Netflix will drop a selection of new movies or shows to add to it, too, ensuring that you’re stuck in a perpetual yet wonderful cycle.

That being said, you’re probably curious about what’s coming in the future, right? Well, good news – not only has Netflix shared a small taste of what’s on the way in December, but they’ve also announced a handful of originals for January 2021 as well, including...

Today marks the first big Netflix content drop of November, and it’s bringing with it quite a varied haul. Whether you’re a fan of ultraviolent 70s classics like A Clockwork Orange, enjoy campy thrillers such as Keanu Reeves’ Knock Knock, or maybe want to kick back and laugh a bit with something like Jim Carrey’s Yes Man, you’ll find there’s plenty for you to enjoy with the fresh selections. However, there’s also one surprise addition that the service announced only yesterday, and it’s definitely going to make subscribers very happy.

Chappelle’s Show has now joined the Netflix library. This well-loved sketch comedy series from the mind of Dave Chappelle ran for only a brief time on Comedy Central back in the early-to-mid 2000s, but it left one hell of a legacy thanks to its boundary-pushing skits, Chappelle’s sometimes hilariously offensive characters,...
