My own series of unfortunate events

Besides some crumby movies (see previous post), the last couple of weeks have been less than stellar for me: broken cell phone, broken car, subsequent pricey repairs and now no more part-time job. Rather than bore you with the details of my own unfortunate events, check out the movie posters for Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and the upcoming A Christmas Carol. Jim Carrey's Scrooge looks a bit like Count Olaf, no?


In addition to the greedy miser, Carrey will play all three ghosts. The CG film costars Gary Oldman as Bob Cratchit, Marley and Tiny Tim (yeah, that's unexpected), Colin Firth as Fred and Bob Hoskins as Mr. Fezziwig. Princess Bride alums Cary Elwes and Robin Wright Penn also reunite in this family flick, which will premiere in early November. In the meantime, check out the teaser.
