The Brothers Grimm (2005)
Awful movie!
This movie was really awful. One-line comment: Awful.
Forget anything else.
You know brothers Grimm? The books? The fairy-tales? Forget everything! What was this movie? It was a bad mix of the following: A pleiad of stars (Matt Damon, Monica Belucci, etc), really bad scenario (or, more precisely, no scenario at all - it looked like the crew was trying to improvise, not to follow any written script), sometimes good music (and sometimes something really illogical - Bulgarian Folklore chanting is heard in the middle of the movie, and Serbian music - at the end - and remember, the action is taking place in a small German village!); and some small extracts from various fairy tales are inserted here and there, in a distorted, degenerative way...
You want to take your children to see this "fairytale"? No way! Blood is shed throughout the whole movie, legs and arms are cut, and most of the time, there is no dialogue at all, just a occasional "Oumpf!", "Argh!", "Ouch!", "Oh!", "Aaaaargh-rgh!".
No fairytale, no good script, no actor play, no story, nothing.
One of the worst ever movies.
It's not worth to be seen in the cinema, nor a DVD to be bought, nor even copied.
Don't. Waste. Your. Time.
In fact, you have even wasted too much time reading my comment already:-)
Brilliantovaya ruka (1969)
One of the best Russian comedies
I watched this movie as a small boy. I liked it. Then I watched it again, as a bigger boy. I liked it again :) Then I found it nowadays on video... was tempted to watch it again... and liked it again :-)
This is classics! It's good! It's... yes, it's way too Russian......but because I know Russian language, and Russian culture a bit, too, I could understand almost all of the movie's plot, and jokes, and sometimes (too Russian?;) humour.
The movie is real good. It has good plot, good acting, it's directed good, it has good music... I've given it 9/10 stars. It's worth watching! But... beware - maybe you wouldn't understand it. Because it's way too Russian? Maybe. Well, you can try, at least...
I really enjoyed it:)
One word-summary: recommend! ...for whoever want to try it:)
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)
Crazy, Makes no sense at all, Hilarious
Didn't watch Jeepers Creepers 1... but the sequel is, in a word, hm... how should I say it?.. If you like movies where there is a terrible monster, who comes from nowhere, looks so scary with his innumerable teeth and eats people just for the fun of it... one by one... one by one... Well, then, it's your movie! :) That's the plot, nothing more.
I put the movie just a little above the common because of the fun it can give you. Yes, it's supposed to be a horror movie, but it's so scary so you end watching it with a deep laugh... or so was with me:)))
Bottomline: I enjoyed watching it. Good choice for one and half hour entertainment! For those who watched the first movie, I can say nothing.. For me, the second part was fun.
