We All Live in a Yellow Submarinenew
Bill Murray won't get the elusive Oscar for this one -- for all its visual majesty, The Life Aquatic is too slight -- but the film is nevertheless a funny, bewildering, and giddy spectacle.

The villain of Lemony Snicket, Count Olaf, just may be Jim Carrey's finest role. The rest of the movie, however, isn't quite up to Carrey's level.
