Let me begin with an excerpt from the Wikipedia page because it accurately says everything about what this film is about and who stars in it:
“The Brothers Grimm is a 2005 adventure fantasy film directed by Terry Gilliam. The film stars Matt Damon, Heath Ledger, and Lena Headey in an exaggerated and fictitious portrait of the Brothers Grimm as traveling con artists in French-occupied Germany during the early 19th century. However, the brothers eventually encounter a genuine fairy tale curse which requires real courage instead of their usual bogus exorcisms.”

Stardust stars Claire Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer and Charlie Cox as the three main actors of the film.

It’s a fun film that received many well deserved reviews. Continue reading “A Look Back at Stardust”
Until today, I had never seen Vanilla Sky. I never heard anything good about it and I’m a personal fan of the Spanish original Abre Los Ojos, a movie of which I just wrote a movie about. And then one day, when I got home from work at 1 in the morning, I was able to catch the last hour of the film. Oh god did it make me cringe. From that moment on I was determined to watch the movie in its entirety so that I could write this.
Now, like most people I have gone through a period in my life where I wasn’t a fan of Tom Cruise. I love him now, religious beliefs aside; he’s a good actor. Continue reading “A Look Back | My Journey into Vanilla Sky – The Hot Mess of Exposition”
