The Brothers Grimm

By DAVID WEINER

January 22, 2013

The famous tale-tellers themselves become unlikely action heroes in this busy but entertaining, 2005 film by director Terry Gilliam, starring Matt Damon and the late Heath Ledger. The pair play Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, 18th-century con artists making their way through French-occupied Germany who are faced with a real-life situation straight out of their fairy tales -- to stop a witch who drains the blood of little girls in order to recapture her youth!
