	Mindjack Film - The Brothers Grimm
		Along the way, the scholarly Jacob collects a rich repository of local lore that, if the film’s conceit is to be believed, form the basis of their famous collection of fairy tales.
		A key relationship in the film (the "love interest") is handled inexcusably badly, with no chemistry or conviction between Ledger and Lena Headey, playing the mysterious local girl Angelika.
		The film ultimately falls on the weakness, not of its story, but of its storytelling.

	Film Forum's Noir Fest: The Brothers Rico - Cinematical
		Even though he seems to know from the start of the film that he and his family are still in danger from the mob, he doesn't seem concerned about bringing some poor kid into the line of fire.
		Also, unless I missed it the film never reveals why adoption is a necessity for Eddie and his wife in the first place; the fact that we see them sleeping in separate beds may be a clue.
		Since this film was made in the mid-50s, I can't help but think that some studio suit thought they were being clever by inserting that in as a jab to the new mode of competition.

	UGO.com DVD - The Brothers Grimm DVD Review
		The visually striking film left a bit to be desired in the narrative department, so it was pushed as a "different kind of summer blockbuster," and got lost in the summer shuffle.
		Gilliam mumbles his way through the film commentary, as well as through the numerous deleted scenes (lamenting his wastefulness), and offers a few tasty tidbits and some rare gems (the first of which is his admission that he embarked on the project because he was unemployed..
		Kudos to Gilliam for actually being able to talk through the majority of the film with more insight than the usual "here we see..." fare and his desire to release a director's cut is tempting; still the overall package suffers from the same issues as the theatrical release: the inability to grasp its full potential.

	Screentalk Film Review - The Brothers Grimm
		I know that a lot happened to this film since production, you can really feel the choppy editing in the final act, but it feels like there was never anything for Gilliam to grab onto, regardless of the long delay to the film's release.
		The film could have been an interesting dissection of the way writers of fiction, and, by extension, film, use reality to both cheat and reward their audience.
		As the brothers are forced to investigate a real legend, the Queen of Mirrors (Monica Bellucci) and her kidnapping of small children, the film becomes shockingly dull.

	Sundance Film Fest adds glitter, glamour to Utah ski resort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Critics say this setting, the one that Robert Redford nurtured in the name of independent film, is ironically similar to the one he once disparaged.
		At the time Redford was recounting how he felt when approached by organizers of Sundance's predecessor, the U.S. Film Festival, with a request that he lend his talents to their struggling production.
		Understandably, discovering that the film you wanted to see has been sold out can be discouraging, as can be standing for hours in a "Wait List" line.

	Hollywood's Leading Black Men Tackle Love, Sex And Friendship In Film `The Brothers' - Brief Article Jet - Find Articles
		Brothers explores what drives men to infidelity, power struggles in relationships, issues of misogyny, sexual frustration and the reasons men fear intimacy and commitment.
		We also see from the film's rich subplots that the men's approach to love and women is largely influenced by their upbringing.
		Despite the serious elements of the film, there is plenty of comedy to lighten the drama, especially from Bellamy's Brian, whose stream of bad relationships are literal battles of the sexes, and also from Derrick (Hughley) and his sexual negotiations with his wife.

	The Brothers Grimm (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This film was supposed to be released in November 2004 in theaters, but it was delayed, with the new release date being August 26, 2005.
		The film was in the competition at the Venice Film Festival 2005.
		Despite initial fears by some critics and film fans (based on the fact that the release date was rescheduled several times), The Brothers Grimm was released August 26th 2005 after final arrangements made by the Weinstein brothers and the Walt Disney Company concerning how to divide the catalog of Miramax films currently in production.

	USCCB - (Film and Broadcasting) - The Brothers Grimm
		Curly blonde Wilhelm is the crafty, smart, womanizing brother and bespectacled, bewhiskered Jacob the doltish, gullible one who genuinely believes in fanciful stories.
		The brothers go from town to town in French-occupied Germany hoodwinking the superstitious 18th-century peasants into paying them exorbitant sums in return for sham ghostbustings of witches and the like.
		The brothers report to the town of Marbaden, and discover the forest is under the thrall of an actual witch's curse, and that one by one the town's children are disappearing.

	THE BROTHERS MCMULLEN/SHE'S THE ONE - DVDs
		How much a film cost to make and the same film's qualitative worth are interdependent, which is why I get so irritated by reviewers who insist on critiquing the budget.
		In The Brothers McMullen, two Long Island brothers (Burns and Mike McGlone) who are having girl troubles room with their married older bro (Jack Mulcahy), a man caught in the jaws of infidelity.
		McMullen vet McGlone's purely odious Wall Street exec hogs enough of the film's content that whole passages are spoiled by his entrance or the residue of his exit; McGlone could pass for Matt Damon's evil twin, and is about as charming as such a description implies.

		In reputation the Brothers Quay are wrapped in mystery, including whispers about their dense and dark London atelier (Koninck studios, which they founded in 1980 with their producer, Keith Griffiths), rumored to be crammed with such things as antique dolls in bell jars and stacks of crumbling insect wings.
		THE BROTHERS QUAY: "It" is the riddle, the enigma.
		BQ: With the puppet films, we came to terms with conceiving of space: whether it was to be stylized (the great privilege of animation) or realistic, a metaphysical space or a fantastic, nongeographical space, a mental configuration.

		The brothers Grimm are preparing in the mill for the fight against the witch.
		He has coaxed confessions out of the brothers' two associates by hanging them upside down, with snail-filled glass boxes on their heads, and accuses them of theft and humbuggery, for which the penalty is death.
		Meanwhile the brothers try to fight their way through the forest, but a couple associates are killed by the trees or the wolf.

		Then there were Gilliam's run-ins with the film's executive producers, Bob and Harvey Weinstein, regarded by some as Hollywood's own Brothers Grim(m) for their insistence on leaving their thumb prints on everything they touch.
		Having planted it, he quickly moves on to the real business of the film, which is to cram in as many fairytale allusions as possible.
		The film was made in the Czech Republic, where he built sets aimed at fostering the illusion that you've stepped inside one of the Grimms' original editions.

	The Brothers Quay Collection - Kino on Video
		Here, collected in one volume for the first time, are ten exquisite stop-motion animation masterpieces by the Brothers Quay made from 1984 through 1993.
		Identical twins born in Pennsylvania, the Quays reside in London in publicity-shy seclusion, making their innovative films under the aegis of Koninck Studios.
		With their passion for detail, their breathtaking command of color and texture, and their astonishing use of focus and camera movement, they turn miniature sets into unforgettable worlds, suggestive of Kafkaesque nightmares of menace and decay, or the landscapes of long-repressed childhood dreams.

	The Brothers Grimm film review
		Produced by Dimension Films, who are best known as purveyors of horror, The Brothers Grimm certainly plays up the darker, more macabre aspects of the brothers' fairy tales, including as it does elements of Red Riding Hood, Hansel & Gretel and Rapunzel.
		Ehren Kruger's script is not a true account of Jacob and Will's life, but instead involves the brothers in a mythical tale worthy of one their own fairy stories.
		A child-eating horse, 500 year-old Mirror Queen and walking trees are just some of the strange beings the brothers encounter in their quest to resolve a mystery that haunts a German village.

		The Blues Brothers is a 1980 musical/comedy film, directed by John Landis and starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as "Joliet" Jake and Elwood Blues, The Blues Brothers, and their supporting band.
		The film culminates in a live concert, during which Cab Calloway opens with "Minnie the Moocher", and then the Blues Brothers perform two songs before escaping from the surrounding police cordon with the timely help of a record executive.
		Literally seconds after paying the bill to the assessor clerk (Spielberg), the brothers are arrested, and the film ends with the entire band, who have all been imprisoned in the same prison, playing Jailhouse Rock for their fellow inmates.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: The Brothers Grimm Movie Review
		Jake, on the other hand, is more of a dreamer, though his fantasies are tinged with guilt from a childhood incident involving the purchase of some "magic beans" for the pair's dying sister.
		The film is redolent with images like these, and the landscape -- both physical and psychological -- just screams for Gilliam's trademark battle between wild imagination and stifling mechanization.
		The film would have benefited immeasurably if it had the discipline to drop a few of its concepts -- no matter how tantalizing they may have appeared -- and honed the remainder to sharper points.

	The Brothers McMullen Film Review - Time Out Film
		The brothers are: Jack (Mulcahy), happily married and about to fall into a reckless affair; Barry (Burns himself), a bachelor who may just have got the woman of his dreams; and Patrick (McGlone), a devoutly Catholic graduate whose Jewish girlfriend has their whole future mapped out.
		Burns wrote and directed the film on a shoestring, but if his stamping ground is determinedly working-class Irish-American, the tone is closer to the gentle Uptown ironies of Woody Allen than to Hal Hartley or Jim Jarmusch.
		Macho pride is the font of most of the comedy, and it's only in the rather pat conclusion that the clan work out an uneasy rapprochement with their female partners.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: The Brothers Grimm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Long-delayed by Miramax's Harvey Weinstein because of (alleged) "creative differences" with its director, Gilliam's first film in seven years is a fairy tale origin story in which titular 18th-century storytellers Will (Matt Damon) and Jake (Heath Ledger) Grimm are itinerant charlatans who bilk superstitious nitwits by posing as mystical creature exterminators.
		Jake is a dreamer with faith in the fantastic while brother Will, still smarting over Jake's childhood sale of the family cow for magic beans, is a dogged pragmatist.
		The film's aesthetic is what might be called "storybook grotesquery," a quirky visual and narrative combination of monstrous caricatures, low-brow slapstick gags (highlighted by an off-screen bit about mass spitting), and a supernatural-tinged world whose charm is due, in part, to its menacing deformity.

	CanMag- Review: Vince Takes on The Brothers Grimm
		The film would tell the story of brothers Jacob (Heath Ledger) and Wilhelm's (Matt Damon) transformation from con artists to heroes as the fairy tales they used to con people with turn out to be real.
		This looked to be the perfect film for Gilliam's style and had it been made during a time when his head was a bit clearer it probably could have been.
		The film takes forever to get to the point and when it does it fails to take off on the rollercoaster ride that is a trademark with previous Gilliam films.

	The Rake: So Little Time... : FILM: The Brothers Grimm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In the early 1800s, two German brothers were looking for stable, well-paying jobs in order to support their younger siblings after their parents' deaths, so they became librarians.
		Perhaps due to their own dark past, most of the supposed kiddie tales the brothers collected are twisted and disturbing, driven by envy, vengeance, and the craving for tender young flesh.
		It's rich fodder for a film, and Terry Gilliam (who has already taken a crack at fairy tales with Jabberwocky and the Monty Python franchise) adds lots of humor to his revisionist version.

	The Trades - Movie Review: The Brothers Grimm
		That being said I have to say, sadly, that I was disappointed with his new film, “The Brothers Grimm.” That disappointment isn’t because the story wasn’t mostly witty and clever, it is because the film lacks the “heart” of his earlier works.
		Given that the stories of the Brothers Grimm are among our most cherished works of fiction, I was surprised that Terry Gilliam and Ehren Krueger chose to portray them in the film as con artists and rascals, rather than paying them homage by characterizing them as heroic and honorable men.
		The film was shot entirely in Prague, Czech Republic, and that was certainly a good choice as the locations we visit throughout feel authentic, but some of the dialogue is straight out of our early 21st century world, and that is definitely a mistake.

		The Brothers depicts a glamorous world in which everyone is good-looking and well dressed; the number of characters makes it hard to delve into anyone's life with any depth, but the actors are engaging and the script makes an effort to look at the "battle of the sexes" from both sides.
		The film deals with this issue without any discretion at all with a wife refusing, being unable to give head to her husband - note well it is because her mummy told her it was disgusting.
		What her mummy told her definitely was disgusting and mean and coming from a time when sex was not pleasure but only a duty to be performed in order to continue the biological race and the blood line of the family.

	Film Review: The Brothers
		Watching "The Brothers," the highly anticipated beefcake fest, you get the feeling that writer-director Gary Hardwick took all those Terry McMillan dramas too much to heart.
		The film's bright light is Gabrielle Union in the role of Denise Johnson, a photographer who becomes romantically involved with Jackson.
		It doesn't quite undermine the little progress cinematic Black romance has made with films like "Love and Basketball" or "Sprung," but it reminds us that the struggle for convincing stories and characters is not easy, and continues.
