![]() Time hasn’t been kind to The Fisher King, a bum’s view of New York during the doleful Dinkins years. Terry Gilliam’s film of Richard LaGravenese’s screenplay is a dystopian tour through NYC in its Hobbesian pre-Giuliani days. Yes, it’s still a great movie, albeit its whine doesn’t stand the tes…

![]() I loved the concept/story-line and the visual effects were stunning. Many people believe that this story helps youngsters better understand concepts of the soul, good vs. evil, etc. — but I found it a bit of an overwhelming whirlwind of special effects (they were great) and fantasy-laden charact… |

![]() Matt Daemon and Willem Dafoe look out of place in this mythical story of Chinese fighting off nasty creatures at the great wall. Pretty good as far as fantasy fighting goes, but, hmmm… |

![]() Part 1 of the The Hobbit trilogy is an oft charming visual feast. Wait. Part 1? Trilogy? The Hobbit ain’t no trilogy! It is now, at the movies. Peter Jackson – Lord High Creator of the Lord of the Rings trilogy…

![]() The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was one of the most bizarre and imaginitive film I’ve seen… ever. It was executed very well, except for the pretty loose sory line. A lot of questions have to be asked at the end, but I won’t give examples since they’ll contain spoilers. Something very much w…

![]() Now that my kids are grown, I don’t see many Disney movies, never mind re-makes of classics. In this case, I’m glad I decided to heed my whimsical choice. The Jungle Book was really well done, and John Favreau’s use of famous actors’ voices was spectacular. My favorite? Christopher Walkin as Kin… |

![]() There is no mistaking that this is an M Night Shymalan movie with its fantasy-action laden story. A bit overly dramatic use of Zen-like mystical powers, but then again – that’s why you’d go to see an M Night movie anyway, right? This movie won’t blow you away like the Avatar’s powers, … |
