"A psychological thriller centering on a man who is obsessed with an obscure book titled "The Number 23" and becomes convinced that the book is based on his own life. "

February 23, 2007 Release

Wow, this is the first role like this I've seen Jim Carrey play. Very unexpected. Considering the quality of his serious performances in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Majestic, and The Truman Show this could be a very intense, entralling movie to watch. The premise sounds really intriguing too.

Tupac was gunned down exactly seven months after All Eyez On Me was released. He was shot on September 7th and survived on 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and died the 13th. (7 Days) Tupac Shakur was 25 years old. His age adds up to 7 (2 + 5). Even his time of death, 4:03, adds up to 7 (4 + 0 + 3). Have his brand new double album entitled "R U Still Down?"??? Well, this album was released on November 25th. 2 + 5 = 7

i wouldnt go so far as to say the premise sounds really intriguing, but this movie could be alright, i'll check it out, and its definately a new type of role for carey.

i saw the preview for this at.. some movie. casino royale? i dunno. could be interesting, could suck complete ass

12/6/2006 11:25:38 PM

I'll go see it, but that trailer makes it look terrible.

12/6/2006 11:26:59 PM

does he say "alrighty then!"?

because otherwise i'm just not interested

12/6/2006 11:28:26 PM

12/6/2006 11:36:31 PM

also, i'm not sure Money_Jones understands whats going on here

12/6/2006 11:45:41 PM

I'm amazed this thread has made it this far without the obligatory slam on Joel Schumacher

12/7/2006 1:09:56 AM

^agreed...

yeah, I initially drew a link to the "Stranger than Fiction," but it's a shaky link if anything

and yeah, I'll admit, Dr. Pepper was my first thought

but in all seriousness, the trailer looks great

ha, that first post of mine was just because he said "the premise sounds really intriguing," my point was just that people find these type of number coinsidences all over the place, and that in itself isnt that intriguing.

12/7/2006 8:13:57 AM

This is a stupid premise for a movie... if you look hard enough for any pattern in numbers you can find it.

12/7/2006 11:49:30 AM

^ VERY true, but Jim still looks like he'll do a solid job

12/7/2006 11:56:41 AM

^^ that was exactly my point with the first post about tupac

12/7/2006 12:24:15 PM

^ so we agree then

money_jones, post one more time and then 5648 posts adds up to 23 (omg )

12/7/2006 3:31:14 PM

bttt

2/13/2007 3:49:51 PM

lol that Tupac shit is hilarious

2/13/2007 6:54:00 PM

looks horrible

2/13/2007 7:27:40 PM

Yeah, too bad its not King Kong, or The Hulk, or some other gay movie with tons of CGI in it. What the hell were they thinking making this movie?

2/13/2007 11:32:58 PM

i donno. sounds like a pretty lame premise to me. but with jim carrey in a role like this....i cant wait.

Shit sandwich anyone? Anyone?

2/21/2007 2:42:16 PM

oh damn it. i had high hopes.

2/22/2007 6:56:24 PM

seeing it tonight with Thorsten, we'll post what we think around 1am or so.

2/22/2007 7:00:48 PM

this was a lot better than i thought it would be...it's not the best movie in the world, but it's worth watching imo.

2/23/2007 1:06:57 AM

I thought it was OK. Basically once again I ruined a movie for myself by predicting the outcome based on the trailers. To help explain the premise of the film I compared The Number 23 to two other films. Didn't think it was going to be EXACTLY like the films I thought.

I won't say what two movies because I'm not trying to ruin it for anyone. (guess we can wait til the end of the weekend before we discuss spoilers, plot holes, etc) But if I hadn't already seen a few movies just like this I would have liked this movie a lot.

2/23/2007 1:32:56 AM

what the hell is the point of this movie, coincedences?

2/23/2007 11:03:46 PM

2/24/2007 3:16:28 AM

Lets just say I wasn't disappointed with it, but I regret paying to see it.

2/27/2007 11:57:35 PM

Ahahahhaa that shit was soooo bad.

2/28/2007 3:26:14 PM

lol, I saw a commercial for this and the announcer pronounced his name "Shmucker."

2/28/2007 5:02:50 PM

i thought the movie was good except for the ending. i thought it ended all too easily and pretty-like. i woulda liked to have seen a much better ending to it.

2/28/2007 5:08:43 PM

This movie looks like complete ass..

My birthday is February 3rd.....

saw it on friday. it was entertaining, but a felt tad on the long side (which probably isnt so good since it is only 90-something minutes). some of the things didnt tie together as well as the writers/director might have liked, but i dont think it was bad as ppl in this thread make it out to be.

3/4/2007 11:24:50 AM

bttt

4/24/2007 8:05:47 PM

4/25/2007 2:39:21 AM

4/25/2007 10:43:12 AM
