Jan 10MAYBE SEE IT / THE IMAGINARIUM
Maybe. I use the word maybe because I wouldn’t give this movie anything above a 6 on the Natalie James scale of 1 – 10. Sorry Terry, it just wasn’t particularly good. Why do your movies always die off towards the end? Please pull it together so I can enjoy my movie going experience. Also, please lay off the CGI. I swear if I could revoke one thing from film history, it would be the invention and inclusion of CGI.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, please let me tell you how amazing the costumes in this film are. That is one characteristic of a Gilliam film I can always get behind. Fear and Loathing anyone? If you love costumes and sets as much as I do, then go for it. Lily Cole looked phenomenal in the role of Valentina and I was quite pleased with her acting skills. Well done Lily! Christopher Plummer also donned quite the attire as the immortal Dr. Parnassus. Bad plot twists aside, this film offered magical scenescapes and an envy worthy collection of clothes.
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
Although the movie was rife with shortcomings, the acting (from the whole cast) almost made it up. Verne Troyer was funnier than I could ever expect and Tom Waits ruled! Straight to DVD prequel anyone starring ol’ Tommy Boy!?!Hmmm? It could have been much worse but there is something very magnetic about the worlds Gilliam creates in his films.I was drawn in but in the end felt a little ashamed in doing so.
Can I enroll in the Asael school of writing? Please!
I was a little ashamed too, but you’re spot on about the acting making up for a lot of it. Tom Waits was hilarious as the devil and boy oh boy did Johnny look great. Lets go to the movies this weekend. What’s playing?
might go see it. LOVE Lily Cole. She’s one of my all time fav models. Brazil is a classic. Thats one of his I can think of with an awesome (and eery) ending.
I grew up watching Time Bandits, and Baron Munchausen (??) too.
Might & maybe, the perfect words! I also love Lily – she is so fascinating.
i really want to see this though, i want to see how well she can act, or not

It is too bad it didn’t come to your hood!
