?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...

I'm playing with a fire so dangerous I could scorch eternity.

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you're going to talk pretentious twaddle about this film, at least get it right. Oherwise, just enjoy an entertaining and quirky thriller.
Review:
This film has been tragically underrated, even by its greatest enthusiasts. Generally, people assume 12 Monkeys must be good. After all, it's got Brucie in a dirty coat, which every pub film-critic will tell you is a good thing, as he's a much...

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2002
The Bottom Line: Terry Gilliam's time travel fantasy contains some good performances, some brilliant visual setpieces and a literate screenplay from David Webb Peoples.
Review: I returned to rehearsals for my new production, Aida on Ice down at Rosita's Ice-A-Rama this morning. Rosita and her kin are still somewhat miffed at having to clean elephant dung off of the rink and I have packed off said elephant back to...

No more monkey business (skbreese's Too Much Time On My Hands W/O)

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: Journey into the schizophrenic world of James Cole.
Review: "Twelve Monkeys" is a fascinating psychological thriller that has stuck with me since I first saw it several years ago. Terry Gilliam has certainly made some unusual films, and this is another one to add to the list. Although listed as science...

A thought-provoking but troubling time-travel story

Date of Review:  Oct 12, 2000
Review: Is the end of this movie really the beginning, or is the beginning of this movie really the end? Time travel stories have a peculiar contorted logic all their own, one which throws for a loop such normal logical concepts as cause and effect and...

12 Monkeys - craziness! (take two)

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: A lil old though it may be, it's a pretty good change from the stuff that's around these days.
Review: What to watch, what to watch. Hey look, Bruce Willis movies. 12 Monkeys huh? Ok, cool.

It actually wasn't until about midway through the movie that I remembered seeing previews for this movie several years back. Then I was excited - it had...

12 Monkeys: a surrealistic time traveling sci-fi masterpiece

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: An interesting film that manages to avoid any major flaws.
Review: I like movies a lot; I can't think of much more I'd rather do in my free time than see a good film. I enjoy various genres and I like to look for creative movies that are quite different. That is what led me to Terry Gilliman, this former Python has...

An Apocalyptic Mix of Destiny and Insanity

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: You know you've seen a good film when you find yourself humming its theme music right after it ended.
Review: I had no idea what to expect from 12 Monkeys. I watched it because of its peculiar title - the darting, jumpy, tree-climber I am, I've been called a monkey and I, wholeheartedly, love monkeys. But 12 Monkeys has nothing to do with monkeys except...
