Brothers Grimm..

We had no choice, my family wanted to watch that flick by Jodie Foster or Russel Crowe's and Renee Zellweger's Cinderella Man but both apparently arent in the cinemas yet. So, my family decided to watch The Brothers Grimm. My friend recommended it this morning, and he was raving about how t'was a fun movie to watch. My family's fantasy days ended the day Okay Ka Fairy Ko ended (hehe), but since we already are set to watch a flick, we gave it a shot.

The movie was witty, a conglomeration of all the fairy tales associated to the Grimm brothers with a twist. It was kind of dragging in the beginning. A "confused film"... is it a comedy, a thriller or did i miss the humor of the whole thing? The latter part of the film was far better, i like the suspense, the exposition of the now whole picture.

Monica Belucci is just gorgeous! I'm biased, I love her. I love it that amidst all the jokes which are most of the time slapstick by nature, it maintained its dim sort of gloomy feel. I'm a sucker for sad endings. I was hoping that Will won't wake up, and the 12 girls will forever be in their "coffins" preserved with the elegance of death. Oh well, i guess i'm too much of a pessimist these days.

I did like the ending, i mean, how could you not adore the sight of girls running towards a group of villagers who have been waiting for them since forever? How could you not like the sight of a happily-ever-after denoument? I even liked the "two-timing woman" who gave both the brothers a g'bye or perhaps an "im-flirting-with-you-come-and-get-me-boys" kiss (lucky bastard). Thought the beginning was sloooooooooooow, it sorta got my attention in the end.

The movie is a nice ending to my uber tiring week.
