nausicaa83So, good news is that after three months at last I could see a whole 2-hour-long movie. Since 4 november I just couldn't see a whole movie at home, only 20-minute-long anime episodes. I tried to, but after 20 minutes more or less, I just turned off media player/the tv. So, here's the good news. The bad news is that the famous movie is the Brothers Grimm!
Boy, was that movie stupid and ridicolous, but at last I succeded in seeing it all! Yay for me! Maybe it was because my mind didn't have to really work and concentrate a lot while seeing it, but at last looks like I can see movies at home again! ^^
About the movie itself, it's a pulp, ridicolous, nightmarish story about how the two Brothers Grimm travel through Germany making fake exorcisms for a living, when they suddenly end up in a real enchanted forest, where a evil witch (Monica Bellucci, who, thanks to God, appears and talks for a really short part of the movie) is trying to regain her beauty while sucking it up from 12 lovely maids. To capture them, she uses fairytales: magic trees capture Little Red Riding Hood, little Gretel loses her brother Hanzel and gets caught, and other pulp scenes occur (totally pointless, the smashing to pieces of the cute kitten. Boy, that was SICK!). It's almost as stupid as Dungeons and Dragons (the movie, I mean), especially because towards the end it wants to be "serious". Ah-ha. Anyway, hurrah for me for seeing it all!!!
*and omg, the shattering witch with the mirror is so totally stolen from a movie I love, a Simple Wish! I loved Kathleen Turner as the bad witch! ^^*
