Review in a Hurry: Of course you're waiting to know if Heath Ledger is any good in his final role—and don't worry, he is. But more importantly, director Terry Gilliam is back in fine fantasy form—after a series of critical and commercial failures—with this tale of an immortal showman (Christopher Plummer) who engages in a series of wagers with the devil (Tom Waits). The Bigger Picture: Though it's usually a good thing when a director tries to learn new things, Gilliam's recent attempts at reinventing himself just weren't working.

With the release of ‘The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus’ just 2 days away, Jude Law sat down to talk about what it was like stepping in to help finish Heath Ledger’s last movie. “When I got the call, it was a double tug,” Law says of joining the cast of The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. “I liked Heath very much as a man and admired him as an actor.

Yeah, the 50th review! Here's to 50 more! With a limited release on Christmas Day and facing stiff competition from films such as Nine and Sherlock Holmes, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus should sue their marketing team. If this film is depending on the power of being Heath Ledger’s last film alone, then they are in big trouble. It has already been released in UK and still there is a lack of word of mouth for this film, and so far no major award nominations despite several screenings in and around LA. This includes the pre-release screening hosted by the Society of Audio Engineers ... Read Full Story
