    Review: 'Christmas Carol' just OK  Nov 7, 2009
    Why Zemeckis would prefer creepy doll-like simulations of Gary Oldman (Bob Cratchit), Colin Firth (Fred) and Robin Wright Penn (Belle) -- not to mention star (Scrooge and others) -- to the real things is a head-scratcher.

    Zemeckis's appreciation of quality acting remains undiminished - performance-capture technology means Jim Carrey can give many a physical nuance to his multiple lead roles, including that of the ultimate miser Ebenezer Scrooge, just as the likes of Gary Oldman and Bob Hoskins do in their supporting ''appearances'' - but every detailed close-up of Scrooge's pained, miserable face seems like a pointless exercise in self-congratulation.
