Welcome back Lore Lovers! Today we talk about some fantasy movies that we love, and gave each other recommendations for something new to watch. Laura watched Terry Gilliam’s Adventures of Baron Munchausen. It is all things wonderful and preposterous, complete with the disembodied, omnipotent floating head Robin Williams cameo. While the movie has a lot of ridiculous fantasy elements, it is also an allegory for the need to escape the realities of war. Lorin watched Jupiter Ascending, while this film was not very well received on Rotten Tomatoes, there were definitely parts to love when not overwhelmed by the barrage of VFX explosions. A shirtless dogman splice Channing Tatum rollerblading his way through the movie on magboots whilst continually rescuing a frequently falling Jupiter Jones was definitely a highlight-and also perhaps a good drinking game. Stunning visuals from the high budget were definitely appreciated, as well as the disturbing yet nonetheless thought provoking idea that humans populate many planets for the sole reason of harvesting them for a valuable youth serum. Eddie Redmayne’s portrayal of villain Balem Abrasax was inspired at a Nick Cage level of ferocity. To wrap up we recommended a few more movies, Labyrinth (because when do we not need David Bowie in our lives?) and several fantasy series from the Hallmark Channel, the 10th Kingdom and Arabian Nights.
