SNL Scorecard: Did Jim Carrey Save a Lackluster Show?

There was something odd about last night’s Jim Carrey-hosted installment of SNL . Between the promos featuring Carrey hitting on Kristen Wiig, his monologue proposal and the good-nights where Carrey emotionally thanked pretty much the entire world, it felt like the episode might have been one big Jim Carrey therapy session. The last time Carrey hosted, May 18, 1996, Carrey wasn’t too far removed from being the guy walking down the street wearing an oversized cowboy hat looking for a copy of the Rhode Island Slut . Now, we have a more mature, certainly a more damaged Carrey hosting for a second time — complicated by hosting on, well, a day that, due to current events, people did not find particularly funny. How did he do? On to the scorecard…

Season of the Witch Not nude in theaters this weekend, hot newcomer Claire Foy joins Nicholas Cage in the medieval action flick Season of the Witch.

Bewitching! Violent Blue Out in select theaters, Czech babe Silvia Suvadova stars in the indie drama Violent Blue . Silvia bared boobs in the World War II movie Polanski but her costar Tiffany Bowyer has an even more exciting skinstory, She’s the star of the erotic thriller Playback , which features her totally naked body in eight kinky sex scenes. That will cure your case of violent blue balls! The Absent Also hitting select theaters this weekend, Jennifer Blanc stars in the creepy slasher flick The Absent . When it comes to nude scenes, Mr. Skin isn’t drawing a blanc on Jennifer.

‘Season Of The Witch’ Explores ‘The Paranormal,’ Nic Cage Says

Cage tells MTV News he was inspired by B-movies like ‘the great Roger Corman classics.’ By Eric Ditzian Nicolas Cage Photo: MTV News Why the vitriol? The blogosphere has lit up in recent days with some staggering hate for “Season of the Witch,” Nicolas Cage’s supernatural tale of evil spirits haunting Europe during the Crusades. Honestly, there are two ways to assess a movie: You can critique it for what you think it should have aspired to be or you can critique it on the grounds of what filmmakers themselves attempted to create. And with the latter sort of critical assessment, “Season of the Witch” hardly deserves all this fury, especially given how Cage describes his approach to the film. The actor stars, alongside Ron Perlman, as a warrior recruited to ferry a suspected witch to a bunch of monks in the hope of curing a devastating plague outbreak. “I think at some point I wanted to make movies that celebrated actors like Christopher Lee and Vincent Price, and the great Roger Corman classics that are unafraid to explore the paranormal and the supernatural,” Cage explained to MTV News. “These are the kind of movies that I personally watch, so it’s a very honest expression for me.” When you realize that Cage and director Dominic Sena were aspiring to make a film in the vein of something like “Attack of the Crab Monsters,” it becomes clearer why “Season of the Witch” plays out the way it does. Which is not to say the movie, which hit theaters on Friday (January 7), is some B-movie masterpiece — hardly. Seriously: not a chance. But it’s still quite entertaining. It’s hard to tire of Cage as proud Behman and Perlman as meathead Felson riffing back and forth in what Cage calls “a great buddy movie [with] a road-trip element to it.” “Whereas Behman has a very well-articulated idea of his relationship to country and church and spirituality and God, Felson has none,” Perlman explained. “He doesn’t bother to spend any time thinking about that. His only thought is the next drink, the next night of whoring, and how to create as much mayhem on the battlefield as is humanly possible.” Will you check out “Season of the Witch”?

REVIEW: Season of the Witch? More like Season of the Whatever

Season of the Witch has nothing at all to do, in theme, tone or mood, with the Donovan song of the same name. If only! No great-sounding nonsense warbling about beatniks out to make it rich, or rabbits running in a ditch, or even about the necessity of picking up every stitch. Just a Crusades-era Nicolas Cage traipsing round Ye Olde Europe in chain mail and unwashed hair, trying to transport a supposed witch-girl from point A to point B at the behest of his Church — which, by the way, he’s lost faith in.

Claire Foy on Season of the Witch, Dream Roles and Why Nicolas Cage Isn’t Crazy

Will 2011 be the year of Claire Foy? She’s getting an early-enough start: The 26-year-old British actress makes her big-screen debut this week in Season of the Witch , starring as a nameless, possibly accursed young woman whom a pair of 14th-century knights (Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman) must transport to an abbey in the hopes of curbing the Black Plague. If only it were that easy: One misfortune and suspicion after another befalls the knights’ quest, threatening them, their cargo, and maybe the entirety of human civilization. All in a day’s work, right?
