Life of Brian

Sony let the BD go OOP which is damn frustrating.

Doesn't appear that way to me:

I need to get the UK one as it's the same disc region free. Before I could get the regular US release it went OOP and is now only sold by third party sellers. Yet Sony still sells the DVD version. They did the same thing with Dr. Strangelove and the CE set for CEot3K.

Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Whimsical for the sake of being whimsical. This picture works in sputters, gasps and brief passages. As a whole it is overlong and as typical with Gilliam, not fully developed in the narrative. It should be a wonderful throwback to adventure fantasies of old but instead never quite manages to spark. However, the design is phenomenal as is the juxtaposition of both classical and modernized special effects. It did not deserve to be buried by Columbia.

The Criterion CAV release is quite good and displays a deep level of care.
