LSD-25 (1967)
The "horrors" of taking acid....
I saw this in 6th grade (1967)... stupid theme song is still stuck in my head We found it pretty amusing even then. A typical "Scare" film, the movie warns of dangers of taking a trip. The theme song is catchy and sticks in your head longer than any visions of a trip.
The interesting thing, is that the "anti-drug films didn't bat around bushes or us euphemisms. We were shown what uppers and downers looked like and what their street names were. So, I knew what a "yellow jacket" was and 'black beauties'. today? pfffff... if you can catch a showing, see it under the influence of something.
'Drown, drown out of your mind, You say you're seeing things, but I know you're blind. A million bright colors explode in your head Today you're just high, tomorrow you're dead, Drown, drown
The Brothers Grimm (2005)
saw a preview... and SEE IT!
Not quite the story of the Brothers Grimm I know, but Terry Giliam and his awesome crew did an amazing job of telling a fairy tale. Matt Damon and Heat Ledger do the job as the Brothers. You'll find yourself listing the fairy stories as they either are told or happen. Glorious. Set in the Germany of Napoleonic France, the Brothers are set a task by the Delatombe (Jonathon Pryce), the Brothers find themselves inside an enchanted town beset by a supernatural evil that they must overcome despite interference by their French watcher and the French Army. Sleeping Beauty with a twist. In true Gilliam style, there are some quick, blink and you miss them sight gags. Shot in Prague, Czech Republic, the film is dark, yet beautiful.
