Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor – two great actors that have been somewhat off the radar of late. We’re glad to announced that in uniting in black comedy I Love You Phillip Morris they both show that they’re far from out for the count. But, though it’s McGregor who nabs the titular charcacter, Carrey is the one who steals the show.

Eternal funny man and rubber-faced buffoon Jim Carrey is celebrating the birth of his first grandson. His daughter Jane, 22, gave birth to a 7lbs 11oz (crimety) baby boy on Friday in Los Angeles. She and husband Alex Santana have named him Jackson Riley Santana. Aw.

We have to admit, when we first caught a glimpse of Jake Gyllenhaal moody and mysterious face in Donnie Darko, the question that really struck our soul was, “This sulking in corners thing is great and everything, but can this boy dance?” It could be that finally, those querying demons will finally be answered!

They’re two of the best comic talents to come out of the noughties – now Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis are teaming up in a new film to keep the tears of hilarity coming well into the new decade.

Yes Man is basically Peyton Reed’s (Down With Love) version of Liar Liar and, of course, it stars none other Jim Carrey as the leading man. Carl Allen (Carrey) a miserable banker notorious for saying “no” to everyone and everything. In a plight to change his life, he signs up to a self-help programme which enforces one rule – he must say ‘yes’ to everything. EVERYTHING.

Call us crazy, but we thought Christmas was the time for good cheer? There’s not much to be cheerful about in this dark adaptation of the Dickens classic. With pacey action and good performances there is still something to enjoy, but if we’re honest, at Christmas we just want to leave the cinema with sleighbells in our ears and a smile on our faces.
