May 18, 2008"Whenever I try to remember my dreams, I always turn 'em into stories. But dreams are like life. You can't catch it with your hands because you can't catch something you don't really see. If you believe in your dreams, you could be sure that any force, a tornado, a volcano or ...( read more)

October 18, 2009This movie written and directed by Emir Kusterica(twice, Cannes Palm d'Or winner), is both entertaining, and thought provoking! The acting by a well-seasoned and tight-knit cast is notable throughout. Even Jerry Lewis, as the uncle, is pitch perfect. This is one you will remem...( read more)

December 12, 2006This film is very very surreal. It took me while to get in to it but once I did, I really enjoyed it. It's not one of my favourite Johnny Depp films, although his acting is great in it. All the other actors do a good job too but I think it takes a few watches before you really get to like it. It could have done with being a bit shorter too.
