‘Kidding’? We think not: Jim Carrey series returns for Season 2 BY JAY BOBBIN
When Jim Carrey decided to return to television, he wasn’t kidding. The “In Living Color” alum knew what he wanted with his Showtime series, and he’s pleased to do more of it as the seriocomic “Kidding” begins its second season Feb. 9, with two of its 10 episodes being shown each Sunday. Jeff Pickles (Carrey) continues to struggle with family problems, the effects of which seeped into his popular children’s show “Mr. Pickles’ Puppet Time,” now off the air – to the great concern of his executive producer (Frank Langella) as well as the program’s chief puppet maker (Catherine Keener). Judy Greer also continues as Jeff’s estranged wife. “This season, I think you’re going to see a lot of hopefulness and a lot of positive and really wayout-there surreal creativity,” says Carrey of the Dave Holstein-created “Kidding,” on which the
star also is an executive producer. “We’re singing. We’re doing things that they shouldn’t allow us to do.” One of those Season 2 singing ventures pairs Carrey with someone quite estimable in that department, guest star Ariana Grande. “Admiration doesn’t just go kind of forward to an older generation, it goes backward as well, and she’s a singular artist,” Carrey notes. “She has a gift. When she opens her mouth and sings, she’s just magical. And it’s nice to find out that she’s a lovely person and that she was so game and willing to do it, and to put herself in a place of just being silly and innocent and fun. She was just a breath of fresh air. It was a really lovely, lovely time.” As for Jeff’s condition in the sophomore round of “Kidding,” Carrey reflects that he has been “groomed to be able to understand the depth of a character who’s lost a lot, and who also still believes that it’s worth trying to keep the boat
afloat and find the good. The idea of trying to cling to something that worked, and suddenly doesn’t fit, is something everybody goes through at some point. It is the role of a lifetime. I think there’s no other place that’s better for me to be. Except Hawaii.” “Kidding” has reunited Carrey with the talent he deems “my favorite director” ... another of the show’s executive producers, Michel Gondry, who directed him in the 2004 movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” “My life is spent kind of chasing things that I think are meaningful and interesting and creatively satisfying,” Carrey reflects, “so in that respect, I couldn’t be in a better place. This is an incredible creation that Dave’s come up with, and I’m surrounded by unbelievably intelligent, remarkable actors, and it’s very satisfying in that regard.”

Jamie Foxx’s Top 10 Movies BY JAY BOBBIN
“Baby Driver” (2017): Foxx’s presence is felt as a member of a robbery gang in writer-director Edgar Wright’s widely acclaimed, action-infused crime story.
“White House Down” (2013): Foxx and Channing Tatum have terrific camaraderie as the undersiege president and a Secret Service wannabe.
“Law Abiding Citizen” (2009): Foxx plays it relatively straight-laced as a Philadelphia prosecutor locked in a battle of wits with a clever convict (Gerard Butler) who’s still orchestrating murders.
“The Soloist” (2009): As a troubled man who’s also an expert musician, Foxx has many traits to master in this true story, and he does it superbly.
“The Kingdom” (2007): Foxx’s take-charge performance in this espionage adventure stands out, since at another time in his career, he’d likely have gotten the amusing sidekick role instead. Here, he reaffirms his Hollywood status.
“Dreamgirls” (2006): The women remain central in the screen
MOVIE REVIEW
version of the hit stage musical, but Foxx still shines as the manager who manipulates them both in and out of the spotlight.
“Jarhead” (2005): Foxx plays it effectively rugged again as the sergeant in charge of untested Marines on duty in the Middle East.
“Ray” (2004): Short of occupying the music legend’s body, Foxx becomes Ray Charles in the sterling performance that earned him an Oscar.
“Ali” (2001): Foxx is solid as Drew “Bundini” Brown, Muhammad Ali’s right-hand man.
“Any Given Sunday” (1999): Foxx made an impressive crossover to drama – and held his own against Al Pacino, no less – as a showy, overly ambitious pro football player.
BY JAY BOBBIN
A just-terrific Jamie Foxx does much for ‘Just Mercy’ Movie history is filled with law dramas that have benefited from fine teamwork by the actors who play attorney and client, and now there’s another one. “Just Mercy” stars Michael B. Jordan (“Creed”) as a Southern lawyer who makes a specialty of taking up the cases of wrongly convicted inmates on death row. One such prisoner is played by Jamie Foxx, and his claim of innocence in the death of a young woman goes unheard by local authorities, due in large part to the interracial overtones of the crime. Enter the Harvard graduate played by Jordan, but his good intentions are met with skepticism by just about everyone ... including the convict himself, who’s had enough disappointments in his journey through the legal system and is resigned to his apparent fate. However, assisted by a paralegal played by Brie Larson, the lawyer finally manages to get through to his intended client

It tells the story of a housekeeper (played by Oscar nominee Yalitza Aparicio, in what amazingly was her debut performance) who learns more than she wished she knew about her employers, as she tries to deal with her own concerns involving a boyfriend of questionable repute and her possible pregnancy. The first Mexican film to win the Academy Award for best foreign language film, the picture brought Oscars to Cuaron for directing and cinematography.
