Caught one of my favorite movies tonite.
(53) 12 Monkeys (1995): In my opinion this is Terry Gilliam's 2nd best movie (I think The Fisher King is his best). It's a great story, which finds its roots in a scene from the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock classic, Vertigo, which resulted in the utterly interesting 1962 short French film La Jetée, reviewed earlier in this blog. Starring an excellent Bruce Willis, 12 Monkey is a time trip which takes us back and forth along a temporal time line. The production values are top shelf, Brad Pitt co-stars as an insane-but-harmless animal rights activist, and Madeleine Stowe as the psychiatrist who is intrinsically connected to Willis. This movie is absolutely worth watching and savoring, and then worth watching again.
