Review: The Brothers Grimm

I remember it looking much better in the trailer. Think the Weinsteins took to it with the scissors quite harshly to be honest. I could have done without Heath Ledger\'s Tommy Cooper accent, too.

Well that was rubbish.

When I go see a film with Monica Bellucci, I expect to see Monica Bellucci a lot more than she appears in Grimm. Her boobs look rather lovely, as always, but they don\'t appear nearly enough. The plot didn\'t really work for me either: twelve irritating girls must die so that Monica can recover her good looks? Sounds worth it to me - back off Grimms, you do-gooding donuts.

Seeing Monica\'s Snoochie Belluccis may be the only reason I go to see this. Not really a big fan of fairytale malarkey and haven\'t seen much of Gilliam\'s best work, although I did just finish reading Fear & Loathing, so might check that out.

I love that film. I remember the 1st time I watched it, was \"Eh? Slow-motion asskicking with staves? Werewolf attack in Jaws homage?\" and was sold. Fantastic film. And not just because Ms Bellucci bares herself.

Unfortunately, the delectable Ms. Bellucci (Vincent Cassell is a lucky, lucky man) is covered under a ton of old age make up in this one. Yet another strike against the film.

And oddly enough, Goatboy, as soon as I got home from seeing Brothers Grimm at the cinema, I immediately popped Brotherhood of the Wolf in the DVD player. It\'s got a similar feel to Grimm, but is superior in many ways.

It\'s Gilliam, so it\'ll be a DVD rental at least. But then I\'ll watch anything with Monica Bellucci in, so I\'m confused now as I\'d like to see a 20ft high picture of her so the cinema calls.
I\'m going to watch Brotherhood of The Wolf now, her fantastic baps turn into mountains in that
