![]() The main figures in the Baudelaire family, as in the Tenenbaum family, each have their own signature. The movie's opening reminded me, somewhat, of The Royal Tenenbaums. While it's true, they all take a back seat to Jim Carrey's multiple-character performance, they are all prominent enough to make a name for themselves in this hightly entertaining flick. Emily Browning's (Violet) two biggest movies were the bombs Darkness Falls and Ghost Ship, Liam Aiken (no relation to American Idol Clay.thank God) took a back seat to Tom Hanks in Road to Perdition and director Brad Silberling's Moonlight Mile was a critical success, though hardly a box-office success. It seems fitting that the same pattern is coming forth with another popular book series, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Rings helmer Peter Jackson was a name barely heard of before he took the reigns of the Rings, and Potter helmer (of the first two flicks) Chris Columbus hadn't really been heard of since Home Alone. The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter series' have captivated audiences and brought in billions at the box office, while making household names out of actors and filmmakers that either no one has ever heard of, or could hardly be considered household names. ![]() ![]() The past few years have seen the resurgence of the fantasy genre. ![]()
