The Brothers Grimm
Well, it's no Brazil, but we enjoyed it. It'd be nice to see Tery Gilliam doing more with his talents, but I guess he has to pay the rent somehow, and as fantastical effects-laden occult tosh goes, this is streets ahead of the likes of Van Helsing.
If you don't like insects and the like, there are quite a few gruesome moments. In fact the whole thing is pretty gruesome for a 12A: two severed heads, a minced kitten, a ghastly eyeless face, a rabbit being flayed and gutted... yikes! And that's not counting the truly terrifying array of dodgy wandering accents being put about by Messrs Damon, Ledger and Pryce.
Overall: go to see it with fairly moderate expectations, and you won't be disappointed.

Um, no. Definitely not for me. Which is a pity. But it just. Sounds. Too. Grim.

Yet one swearword would have been enough to make it PG. Makes you wonder what the thinking is behind our censorship system.

Just don't tell me any more. I can't bear it!
