Must See Movie

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

From the commercials on TV and the trailer this movie seems damn good! It has a pretty good cast too, Johnny Depp, Jude law, Colin Farrel, HEATH LEDGER! (this was his very last film) annnddd the super cute redhead LILY COLE! I think this is her first film. Anyway it came out this past Friday I believe and I definitely wanna go see it asap! IMDB gave it 7.4/10 stars.... which is not too bad at all.

Here's Google's synopsis:
"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present-day. It tells the story of Dr. Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Doctor Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. An inveterate gambler, thousands of years ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr. Nick, in which he won immortality. Centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr. Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his daughter reached her 16th birthday, she would become the property of Mr Nick. Valentina is now rapidly approaching this 'coming of age' milestone and Dr. Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr. Nick arrives to collect but, always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager. Now the winner of Valentina will be determined by whoever seduces the first five souls. Enlisting a series of wild, comical and compelling characters in his journey, Dr. Parnassus promises his daughter's hand in marriage to the man that helps him win."


See, sounds good right? Well, I think so! Here just watch the trailer....
