Review: 'The Brothers Bloom'
You can see the bulging vein of forced creativity throughout " The Brothers Bloom," a romp meant to evoke an Old World dream of steamships, elegant deception and moneyed eccentrics but that mostly recalls -- with ever-diminishing returns -- the arch...Tags: Movies, The Brothers Bloom (movie), Adrien Brody, Maximilian Schell

'The Brothers Bloom'
The jaunty, energetic first 10 minutes of "The Brothers Bloom" are easily the best first 10 minutes of any film I've seen recently. And while the succeeding hour and 43 minutes doesn't hold up to the movie's opening scenes, the whole endeavor is still...Tags: Movies, Patents, Copyrights and Trademarks, Kate Winslet, Peter Sellers, The Brothers Bloom (movie)
