Happy (almost) New Year, folks! The Rotten Tomatoes Show returns next Thursday, which means we need your webcam reviews. But let's get on with what you can catch this weekend if you haven't already.
-The White Ribbon is Michael Haneke's bleak yet argubally "pretty" film about pre-World War I Germany. I caught it at the New York Film Festival and thought it was...well...not good. [NY/LA]
-The Lovely Bones is Peter Jackson's take on Heaven and Mark Whalberg emoting. [NY/LA]
-The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has Tom Waits as God, the last performance of Heath Ledger and Terry Gilliam.
If you see those three films, leave us your webcam review by Sunday 1/3 at midnight to possibly get on next Thursday's Rotten Tomatoes Show.
As for what else comes out in time for the new year:
-The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond is like when you said, I think I'm like Tennessee Williams. Like this film. Which is written by him. [NY/LA]
-That's it!

It’s a genre light week, with no new horror, fantasy, or science fiction titles released in cinemas, so Dan Persons, Lawrence French, and Steve Biodrowski take this opportunity to shine a little much-deserved light on some overlooked and/or under-rated genre titles. The main topic of discussion is INK, the surprisingly good low-budget fantasy film about a girl kidnapped by a dream demon. Also under analysis, Roman Polanski’s Kafkaesque thriller THE GHOST WRITER, starring Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor, playing in limited release in New York and Los Angeles. And Terry Gilliam’s THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS, which received only a small release earlier this year.

Alas, poor Terry Gilliam. Even though his work is admired by critics and film lovers alike, mention some of the titles of his most celebrated works to anyone and their eyes will glaze over. In fact, mention his latest film, “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” and they will ask “Whatta who?” Mention that “Parnassus” was Heath Ledger’s last film, that, in fact, he died before shooting of the film was completed and they might even say, “but I thought ‘The Dark Knight’ was his last movie.”

October 16th marks an important day, the release date for the last film of the late Heath Ledger (A Knight’s Tale, Brokeback Mountain, Casanova, The Dark Knight). A beloved member of the film community, Heath passed away on January 22nd of 2008 from an overdose of prescription medications, but his legacy lives on through his work. We were all blown away by his performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight and it appears we will be able to enjoy his presence one last time now that his final film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, is hitting theaters.
The film tells the story of Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer), who roams around in an old-fashioned “traveling show” wagon and are disregarded by most people, who are all unaware that Doctor Parnassus is the real deal. The Doctor’s shiny mirror is a portal to an incredibly odd, colorful world filled with everything you can imagine. Now it appears the Doctor made a deal with the devil, Mr. Nick (Tom Waits), for immortality but in return his daughter would become Mr. Nick’s property when she turned 16. With young Valentina (Lily Cole) approaching the aforementioned age Dr. Parnassus makes a new bet with Mr. Nick, the first person to acquire five innocent souls would win Valentina. Here Parnassus requires the help of Tony (Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell), a multi-faceted individual with the necessary skills of showmanship to bring clients into the Imaginarium. The race is on, will Tony and the doctor be able to win back Valentina, or is she doomed to belong to Mr. Nick.
