Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Ghoulish Delight]

We watched Terry Gilliam's Brother's Grimm last night.

I wish I could have liked it more. I loved the concept of the characters and the appearance of familiar fairy tale elements. But something about the movie just fell flat. Combined with the fact that the pace just slowed to a crawl as the end approached, I just couldn't wait for it to be over. A real shame, it could have been wonderfull.

I agree. I enjoyed what he was trying to do but it became too earnest by th end.

However, it does currently hold the position of being the last movie I saw at a drive-in.

I felt the same way. Close to the end I remember turning to Michael and saying, "This is such an awesome concept, but they did a terrible job of pulling it off. I'm so bored."
