Movie Review: SMOKIN'! This ISN'T Your Same Old Mask!
Summary: 4 Stars

The Mask (1994)
(8.5/10)
I wasn't going to remark on this one, but this release I just picked up surprised me. I was at the WalMart with the missus, and we passed by the bargain bin, and of course I was dragged in by it but this time she joined me. She pulled out The Mask & said "Why don't we ever watch this one?", and I said "Because I never bought it, I'm waiting for a newer version, that one was made around 1997, probably looks pretty bad." But then she pointed out from the back that they credited "Lemony Snicket" from 2005. "Oh, they just updated the cover, but the disc probably is the same inside". Anyway she said I've bought worse for $5, so pick it up at least for our daughter, and I did.

Glad I did it, because I was wrong! Though the covers for the two are similar, this is a brand new 2005 re-release with 4 new documentaries and a new additional commentary. The transfer's gotta be new too because it looked great. Sure, you lose the FullFrame on the flip now (good riddance), but New Line should of packaged this differently because it's almost impossible to tell that this is a new version of the DVD. And for 5 bucks it's definitely worth the double dip. Just remember, the old version has a black background behind Carrey on the cover, the new one
is cloud-filled blue.

A great classic of a film that has so many firsts in it:the start of CGI becoming useful, as well as the film career starts for both Jim Carrey & Cameron Diaz (of which the extras give plenty of new attention to). After what each of them have released recently, revisiting this will remind you what potential they once had. Sad to see Richard Jeni, a talented stand-up comedian, who got his big break in this film, due to his real-life suicide 13 years later, but all together this was a fun time. Worthy of your collection (this disc version at least).

Summary of The Mask (New Line Platinum Series)

Sometimes it's hard to tell if The Mask (or Jim Carrey's in-your-face mugging in general) is actually funny, or just bizarre and grotesque. And sometimes it just doesn't matter. Carrey plays a shy, Jerry Lewis-like nerd who discovers an ancient mask that magically transforms him into a green-faced, zoot-suited Tex Avery cartoon character with no inhibitions. As Roger Ebert said of Carrey in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, the actor performs "as if he's being clocked on an Energy-O-Meter, and paid by the calorie expended." If that's your kind of humor, you'll love The Mask; if not, you may need a valium or two to sit through this one. --Jim Emerson

Mild-mannered Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey) takes Edge City by storm when he stumbles upon a mysterious and ancient mask.Running Time: 97 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 794043810824
