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.

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.
