![]() ![]() The result is a dreadful spectacle, a phrase that here means, “it will stir the imagination of the entire family as it shatters the mold of adventure stories and evokes the magic of truly classic entertainment.” ![]() ![]() You’ll be extremely alarmed to learn that two-time Golden Globe winner Jim Carrey stars as Count Olaf, an outrageously diabolical actor and master of disguise who is determined to swindle the Baudelaire orphans out of their family fortune in “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events.” The film also stars two-time Academy Award® winner Meryl Streep as the children’s overanxious Aunt Josephine and two-time Oscar® nominee Jude Law as the voice of Lemony Snicket. ![]() I am bound to continue my research into the unfortunate events that befall the doomed Baudelaire orphans at the hands of the sinister Count Olaf, but you are free to seek lighter fare, like a documentary about cheese fondue. In this alarming cinematic event alone, you will encounter a terrible fire, dim lighting, high tragedy, a giant snake, low comedy, man-eating leeches and Jim Carrey. I’m sorry to tell you that the movie you are reading about is extremely unpleasant, an expression that here means, “it involves three ingenious orphans, a sinister villain and a hair-raising misadventure.” It is the story of the Baudelaire siblings who, although unusually clever and charming, lead lives filled with misery and woe. ![]()
