I just started this on Netflix but had to put it way because I could tell I wasn't in the right mood.

Kal said...

What mood do you think you need to be in to enjoy it? I am interested. It' a fairy tale with amazing creative visuals. You just into UFC Fighting tonight?

Tom said...

The visuals in this movie were on steroids. It kind of reminded me of the extreme visuals in the cell.

Katie said...

No UFC, that's for the weekend (wink), but I'm on the fringes of a cold at the moment and there just wasn't enough brain power to enjoy what was going on.

Kal said...

I hope you get better soon and can enjoy this movie. I would be interested to see what you think about it.

Kal said...

You got that right Tom - the director Tarsem - made both this and the 'Cell'. I liked the visuals in this one and how they all worked into the fairytale.

Rod Barnett said...

It is a damned good movie even if it feels a little disjointed at times. A major step up from the mess that was THE CELL.

One of the ten of my all time favourite films. Everybody knows that Tarsem is one of my three favourite directors.
And I must brag a bit - the casting director of THE FALL is a friend of mine, and I also had a privilege to meet little Katinka from the film and make friends with her mother, since the film was shot in Romania.
Tarsem is now finishing ancient Greek epic IMMORTALS and then moving to BROTHERS GRIMM SNOW WHITE

great beginning but I thought the ending was week. Not as good as the cell, His (Tarsem Singh) previous movie.

A great, fun movie. I saw it about a year ago and watched it again a few weeks ago. Very enjoyable to watch.

Kal said...

Isn't IMMORTALS about Theseus and the Minotaur. That is one of my favorite Greek myths.

Finally watched it when in a good mood. And it was really great. Definitely wasn't expecting the dark turn. Suddenly it was like a messed up Princess Bride. But I liked how the little girls visuals didn't match the words of the story (the southeast asian Indian living in a wig wam and having a squaw). Really inventive, even if it was just a vehicle for visual stunners. And seriously, Lee Pace is just wonderful. Kal if you haven't watched Pushing Daisies you should take a look.

Kal said...

'Pushing Daisies' is one of those shows I heard so much about despite the fact that it lasted only a short while. It is on my list after I go through 'The Shield'. I think I will need something like that after all the intense cop drama. I just know it will make me sad when I discover I have seen all the episodes and there are no more. I am right about 'Pushing Daisies' in that way, aren't I?

Katie said...

You're right. But its still worth it.
