'Ondine' Trailer

Ooh! A movie where Colin Farrell plays an Irishman. I've always been a bit of a fan of Farrell, even though he IS a bit of a man-whore in real life.

In this movie he plays an Irish fisherman who catches a woman in his net. She's not dead, but it's suggested that she may be a selkie. It's also suggested, by the appearance of a mysterious man, that she may have been running from someone. Either way, this movie looks pretty good. Beautiful scenery, good actors and what sounds like a pretty decent script and no animated/real life talking animals.

'Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' trailer

1000 years ago, Doctor Parnassus made a deal with the Devil...to be freakin' awesome, or so it would seem! This is the movie where Heath Ledger died during filming and I was wondering how they were going to work it all out. Looks like they added a:

And a...

And then a...

To cover the slack? I don't know if, since they are all wearing the same outfit as Ledger, they rewrote it so that the character changes the way he looks, a-la Doctor Who even though he's the same person/thing? EDIT: I just looked on IMDB...they are different "Transformations" of the same person...so it makes sense.

No matter what, it looks like one hell of a crazy movie. I really hope Terry Gilliam finds some success with this one. By success I mean commercial and critical success. I personally love his movies and think they are magical and crazy and imaginative, but I don't think a lot of people feel the same way and I hope this one changes that line of thought with a wider audience.
