Reviews Featuring Michael Palin

A Fish Called Wanda
Brilliant cast, brilliant script, brilliant direction. Just brilliant.

Monty Python’s Life of Brian
This is funny and frantic Python madness that holds up well after all these years. Not as shocking now as when it was made, but still providing plenty of laughs.

Brazil
If anything, "Brazil" has significantly improved with age. A film for the "Matrix" generation, its time has now come.

Time Bandits
Sit the whole family down to this Python-made romp through time and space.
