Brothers Grimm is by a large margin Gilliam's worst movie.  No opinion on the Woody Allen.

Zombieland. all the best bits are in the trailer. the movie tries too hard to be cutsey. Jesse Eisenberg is Michael Cera lite. (which possibly makes him see through and weightless.) Woody is ok, hamming it up. Nice stoner bits.

Mostly it gets this kind of rating:  or  though it does have the occasional 

The Mission - Not the Roland Joffe movie, but the HK Actioner Directed by Johnnie To. Worst soundtrack possibly, ever, but the movie is fun in all the right HK action ways. great photography, impenetrably cool gangsters making their bones as bodyguards for a Triad boss. Some great scenes that could be mined (probably already have been) for videogame showdowns.

This movie is actually really ripe for a NA remake. Could be good, but probably wouldn't be.

I gave it a few  and a    and one for the hotter younger gangsters.

You made me pick the Woody flick. I thank you, it was actually quite good with strong acting.

Yes Men Fix the World- the newer Yes Men film. These blokes are a bit preachy and silly but the idea of what they do is funny.

Six Feet Under (the complete series)

I cried at the end.

Quick poll:

Terry Gilliam vs Woody Allen - what movie should I watch tonight? It's between The Brothers Grimm and Cassandra's Dream.

Gilliam.  Duh.

Woody Allen's been making the same fucking movie since Zelig.  Each Gilliam film is an artistic delight.

2012. The worst movie I've seen in quite some time, none of it worked except maybe the effects.. though, they weren't all that impressive either.

Also, I'm sad to say but the Dane is this one is really awful, he should stick to being the funny immigrant in Danish comedies.

Watched this one with some friends on new years day. I was so hung over that I really wanted the world to end. But what I wanted more was for the movie to end. It is probably the worst movie I've seen. Ever.

The GF rented The Hangover last week. Not usually my kind of flick and I tried not to let the dissapointment show when she presented me with the cover. It won't win any oscars but I quite enjoyed it. Lame ending but I would still recommend watching it if you've got an hour to spare.

Let everyone's annual viewing of Groundhog's Day commence.

[The Larch]

It won't win any oscars(...)

Don't say that so easily, it got a Golden Globe after all.

A Town Called Panic (Panique au Village)

Belgian claymation film that's somewhere between Davey and Goliath and Robot Chicken.  The plot is that Cowboy and Indien forget their friend Cheval's birthday; so they order bricks online to build him a barbecue pit.  They mean to order 50 bricks, but get a key stuck and order 50,000,000 instead.  Hilarity ensues.  There's a great deal of surrealism and sight gags throughout the film.  The film is based upon a Belgian TV show, and even at 76 minutes it feels stretched out.  Still it was enjoyable, despite being made by lazy, thieving Walloons.

while funny, the bit about Woody isn't really true. Brothers Grimm & Dr. Parnassus is the only Gilliams I haven't seen. but otherwise I'm with you on that.

afaic Woody has been up and down since Crimes & Misdemeanors. His last few have been very good though esp. VCB which is old school Woody hood.

"Sayonara"

1957 Marlon Brando/Red Buttons film, a rather flimsy love story of American servicemen and Japanese brides and the racism surrounding it.

Air Force service uniforms looked a hell of lot better back then compared to the crappy leisure suit we have now.  It says a lot, I think, that the Marine Corps service uniform worn by the James Garner(also in the film) character, is essentially the exact same uniform the Corps wears today. 

But, if you can tolerate Brando's hideous manner of dialogue, not a terrible film.

I quite liked it, actually.

VCB looked a lot like a Hollywood version of a  Rohmer film to me...

"The Hawaiians" starring Charlton Heston

Pretty good. 

And featuring a topless Yeoman Tamura(Miko Mayama)...


6 Caliga-approved Japanese boobs out of 10.
