I never wrote up that I finally finished Lost in Space, Season Two. The extras on the final disc of Part 2 were really crappy. Two radio interviews. So the second part is even more of a rip off, as there are 2 less episodes than part one, and they try ot make up for that with 2 crummy radio interviews. If you loved the series, you should rent these. Only completists need buy these sets.

Tonight, I watched the new Terry Gilliam movie "The Brothers Grimm". I LOVE Terry Gilliam movies, even though most people don't. My wife (who endures my horrible tastes with great aplomb, bless her heart) HATES Time Bandits SO much, she won't watch anything else by him.

Anywho, it wasn't too bad. There were some pretty special effects, and it is typically gorgeous visually (which is what I love about Gilliam's movies. He can make the most outlandish things beautiful) but the plot was a little thin for 2 hours. And Matt Damon, who every else loves, I think can be out acted by a cardboard cut out. I sure can see why this was a dud at the theaters. Looking at IMDB Pro, it appears that it just barely broke even if you add in all the international takes.

Two beers out of five, but only if you already like Gilliam movies. Others should probably stay away.
