Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)


Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in a science fiction based love story, where a couple fall in love, fall out of love. They have each other erased from their memories and as they step back through those memories they realise what they had and what they are giving up.

With Tom Wilkinson, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood and Mark Ruffalo in the cast, this really is a wonderful piece of film making. The ideas behind the film are simple, would you erase someone from your life if you had the opportunity? It explores the idea around what would you do if you made a rash decision that you could not go back on. It also asks the questions around should we have any control and we not love and lose people for a reason even if that reason is painful at times.


Another film that when I first heard about it did not tickle my fancy, however I started watching it and was captivated and there are a nice couple of twists that make it interesting and intriguing. This is a 4 star recommend from me, it covers the romantic film and science fiction also makes you appreciate what you have and why it is good to remember as you learn from life.

Mr Poppers Penguins (2011) Trailer

Watched this trailer with no real knowledge of what the film is about, it would be Jim Carey inheriting 6 penguins and as he comes to accept them his life slides into chaos. I am not really sure where this film comes from but it is nice to see some form of original idea, even if it is a standard something arrives in your life disrupting it and ultimately will probably make you happier.

Looking at the IMDb page along with Jim Carey you have Carla Gugino and Angela Lansbury starring beside the penguins that all seem to have personalities, this will probably have a few laughs, most of which you probably see in the extensive number of trailers that are available and I am sure the kids will enjoy it.

It is not Oscar bait and I will probably wait to see this on the TV if I see it at all, it might appeal if i see it cheap on DVD or run out of other things to watch but I will not be running out to see it.

UK Release date - 5th August 2011
