...Mask, Dumb & Dumber and Batman Forever, the star created a maniacally precise comic style. Here--well, he works hard. In the 105 minutes of Ace 2, Carrey rides an ostrich; feeds an eaglet mouth to mouth; emerges from the anus of a mechanical rhino; makes his eyebrows move like kooky caterpillars; bends over and utters the Tarzan cry through his rear; sneezes on, spits at and blows paper wads into the faces of various African men; and sings Chitty Chitty Bang Bang several times more than is absolutely necessary...
...Rape Me? Upbeat TV tunes are the hymns of the young in part because of good memory, in part because of Nick at Night, and very occasionally because of a sound-track album.

Together with the idiosyncratic Danny Elfman (Batman, Pee Wee's Big Adventure) and the rhapsodic Trevor Jones (The Last...
...Diandra Douglas in her split from Michael, Whalley Kilmer said she "hopes to work out all the issues involved in the marriage amicably." The "issues" include Jack and three-year-old daughter Mercedes, as well as the not inconsiderable proceeds they earn from their trade, he most notably in Batman Forever, she in Scarlett. Whalley Kilmer is asking for custody of the children...
