Product Description

 
When a man enters a hospital claiming to have journeyed back in time from the year 2025 to stop a killer virus from exterminating mankind, a beautiful psychologist decides he might be more than delusional. Terry Gilliam populates this labyrinthine, apocalyptic film with twisted characters and eerie revelations. The film was shot primarily in Philadelphia; Gilliam uses the more dilapidated area of the city to the film's apocalyptic advantage. The film is based on the 1962 French short film LA JETEE.

?oozing into the ears of all those poor sane people?

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2003
The Bottom Line: Six billion people can't be wrong. Especially after some nutcase kills them all.
Review: Apocalypses are fun. No, no, not the real Apocalypse; the real end of the world will be pretty much a bummer. But until then, apocalypses offer storytellers the chance to wipe slates clean and settle scores with enemies. For fundamentalist...

Terry Gilliam's -12 Monkeys-1995

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is an entertaining and imaginative fantasy straight from Terry Gilliam to you! If you haven't seen it, you need to.
Review: In the wake of our recent Anthrax panic, this movie hits a rare note of high anxiety for the truly Paranoid. And it is no longer so outlandish, bizarre and unlikely, although when it came out in 1995, it's success at the box office surprised...

12Monkeys - we are not always what we appear to be

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: Intriguing concept and I really don't think you ever 'get' all the plots involved
Review:
Just call me late to supper. Seldom do I catch a movie when released, and I had pretty much written this one off considering the reviews given. However, a recent bout with the flu and a Bruce Willis weekend on Showtime dropped this one in my...
