Terry Gilliam's mind doesn't operate the same as the rest of us. His imagination runs wild on occasion and delivers films such as Brazil and the acid trip that is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas .

I've watched it twice now... Read Full Story

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.
