The Brothers Grimm (2005)
What?? Baron Munchausen !>?
Good Story. Fun adventure. But still The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was a much better story/tale by Gilliam underrated and yet in this almost 2 decade later film he uses Jonathon Pryce in the Same anti tale/fable role as the rationale "Age of Reason" character against fairy tales and mystery.? Not only the same actor but in the movie he almost quotes verbatim the same lines!!!!! Enjoyed but really enjoyed more the reminder of The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen Much Much Better!!! Great Story telling as Gilliam has is still dependant on new ideas or old ideas newly revealed. Why does he regurgitate an almost complete quote from an old movie? Same idea, same working upon it, but no new idea to make it new, no new quote!? I fell in love with Baron Munchausen years ago it is the near perfect telling of a Tall Tale . Brothers Grimm is a shallow response to a lower tale told lower.
Special Delivery (2000)
A great maturing movie, it grows on you!
Sure it is not perfect. And yes there are over expressed stereo-types but as the movie matures these mellow into a very warm and happy movie. Enjoyable unless you expect everything underdone or never improving on a character study. Some just hate good, even over acted dorky good, finding a happy place in the world. Should be on DVD! A lost baby and a California kid in cold hockey country that actually knows hockey. A warm movie in a very cold time of year that entertains in a holiday sense without over pandering a seasonal theme. A classic in a basic warm and happy sense like a Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I mean really though those are classics (really) they are no masterpiece of storyline right?
