Movie Reviews: ***The Brothers Grim (2005)


***"The Brothers Grimm has a nice premise, but then seems to loss itself by going overboard.  It starts with the premise of the Brothers Grimm being con men, who sell their services of eliminating ghosts and witches, after first creating the need for their service with trick of hand using a team of actors.  They then overcome their coconspirators who portray the evil beings using pullies and subterfuge. Then they become enmeshed in a real fantasy.  A queen is kept alive in a tower while a plague kills the entire kingdom.  However turns out, she extends her life inside a mirror.  The evil queen has been kidnapping children, which she is going to use to make herself came back to life.  It just goes a bit overboard with this.  This movie stars Heath Ledger and Matt Damon.
