Joe and Max (2002)
Enjoyed it
I follow boxing to some extent, and have always been captivated by the Louis-Schmeling fights. However, I was unaware that Max was alive until just a few weeks ago. The movie does a good job based on the fact surrounding and leading up to the fight. As one poster mentioned earlier, they didn't note Max being champ in 1930, I believe. He beat James Braddock by DQ, then defended once, and lost to Braddock in rematch in controversial decision. I highly recommend this movie. The situation these two men were in had to be highly stressful. Louis defending his race and his nation, Max supposedly defending Nazi Germany and the White Race. Neither one appeared comfortable in those roles.
Bruce Almighty (2003)
Very funny
I think this is Jim Carrey's best acting job from what I've seen. I'm not the biggest movie buff in the world, and haven't seen all of Carrey's movies, but he shows he can make you laugh, and almost make you cry in this one. His range of emotions were great in this film. I didn't think he could act this well, but was surprised.
