The late Heath Ledger's last movie. That alone is enough to see it. Whether you liked him as an actor or not, he was part of some great movies over his short career (10 Things I Hate About You, A Knight's Tale, Dark Knight). In Parnassus Ledger plays one of three Tony's. The others are played by Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Ferrell, who all volunteered to fill in for Ledger after his passing. This movie was not the best I had ever seen, but it kept my interest and anyone who knows me knows how hard that is to do. As for weirdness, this movie gets a 10, no question. As you can imagine (no pun intended) the "imaginarium" depicted in this film is a very strange and unusual place where the dream of whomever enters comes to life. The trick being that in this dream world, Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) and Mr. Nick "The Devil" (Tom Waits) are fighting over the souls of those who enter the imaginarium. This movie is basically one big acid trip, but in a good way. It's entertaining and worth a watch if for nothing more than some great special fx, so check it out.
Rating: 3 1/2 stars
