Welcome to Cinemassacre Rental Reviews' Febru-Carrey. Four Jim Carrey movies all February long. The Mask is the third film from 1994 we've reviewed so far starring Jim Carrey. What a great year!! The Mask is a 1994 American superhero comedy film directed by Charles Russell and based on a comic book. When timid bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey) discovers a magical mask containing the spirit of the Norse god Loki, his entire life changes. While wearing the mask, Ipkiss becomes a supernatural playboy exuding charm and confidence which allows him to catch the eye of local nightclub singer Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz). Unfortunately, under the mask's influence, Ipkiss also robs a bank, which angers junior crime lord Dorian Tyrell (Peter Greene), whose goons get blamed for the heist.
