Some kids lose their home and parents and get passed around to different family members. And stuff.

A lawyer can’t lie, and goes insane because it’s Jim Carrey.

It’s Jim Carrey as himself, so you have to cope with the idiocy. It’s okay in that context but it’s not for me.

A hacker learns reality is not as it appears.

A sci-fi ripoff of elements of Lucid dreaming, with elements taken from the Neuromancer/Shadowruncyberpunk” genres.

One of my favourites, although I really wish the actor playing Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) was good looking.

  • Trailer
  • Set in Italy, so there is some spoken Italian.
