Here it is at last: the last Heath Ledger performance that the world will ever see. This performance is encased within a meticulous and frantic dream world, cobbled together by the half-mad Terry Gilliam and complemented by the addition of three generous performers who stepped in after Ledger’s death. For fans of Gilliam, the movie is [...]

While his performance in The Dark Knight earned Heath Ledger a posthumous Oscar, it won’t have the distinction of being the last movie to star the late actor. On December 25th, audiences will be able to see Ledger on screen one last time in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Ledger’s death came during the filming [...]

Director Terry Gilliam’s latest feature from Sony Pictures Classic comes a mysterious yet mystical tale known as The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button brought in 13 nominations to lead all other films. Other films such as Slumdog Millionaire, scored 10 nominations. My personal favorite [...]
