Docu time!

Title:	Trekkies
Director:	Roger Nygard
Score:	4/6
Words of Wisdom:	peDoghQo’

Finally a film I hadn’t seen before.  Well, alright, I’ve seen bits of it.

Title:	Help!
Director:	Richard Lester
Score:	4/6
Best song:	You’ve got to hide your love away

Wait…!  Kaizer Soze?  I’ve seen this one, too!  ABORT!

Wait…!  I’ve seen this!  ABORT!

Someone should get Terry more money.  That CGI is not good. Still pretty good for a scifi, though. So what’s next?  Apparently, Terry’s giving Don Quixote yet another go.  With no Michael Palin, like he threatened us with in 2008.

Title:	The Zero Theorem
Director:	Terry Gilliam
Score:	8/10
Best / Worst:	Waltz / Damon

I took my internet down for a few days to rewire stuff, so I’m behind on my blogging. Saturdays are family movie night, as usual.   

Title:	Rise of the Guardians
Director:	Peter Ramsay
Score:	6/6
Dad says:	Yeah, ok, why not.

Phew! What a relief!  After that HORRIBLE Tideland, he gathered his limbs and made another good one.

Title:	The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Director:	Terry Gilliam
Score:	8/10
Crushed:	Yeees….

I don’t like it!

Title:	Tideland
Director:	Terry Gilliam
Score:	1/6
Finished:	No.

Gilliam takes a turn for the worse in this not-as-hopeless-as-I-remembered fairytale concoction.  He should’ve finished Quixote!

Title:	The Brothers Grimm
Director:	Terry Gilliam
Score:	5/8
Crush of the day:	Cersei Lanister

Not actually a Gilliam-film, I’ve nonetheless included it in the festival program.  After completing Fear and Loathing, Gilliam set out to film a story based on Don Quixote.  Struck heavily by Murphy, the whole project stranded with little salveagable result, and that was that.  Pity.  Judging from this not-making-of documentary, I think he was still on a roll.

Title:	Lost in La Mancha
Director:	Keith Fulton / Louis Pepe
Score:	3/6
Director:	Not Terry Gilliam
