If you go down to the woods today, you'll never believe your eyes.
I've waited so long to watch this and really thought it was a worthwhile movie. Damon and Ledger play two brothers who travel from place to place performing fake exorcisms for large amounts of money. What they aren't counting on however is to be thrown head first into a real life supernatural panic as they must fight good over evil to break the curse of the Mirror Queen (who is a mixture of Rapunzel for her hair and Sleeping Beauty for living in a perilous tower) and save the inhabitants of a village in Germany. On their way they are to encounter such creatures as the GingerBread Man, Hans and Greta (Hansel and Gretel) and the Big Bad Wolf before their task is complete.
By the first scene you can be sure that Terry Gilliam is the owner of this magical and amazing ride into the supernatural ( no one else could do it better) and he pulls it off stupendously. What I love about his films is that he can throw in so many subtle nods to other movies of the same genre without you really noticing, and it is only at the end that you realise how much of a genius he actually is.
