When I heard that Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows was based on a 1970s horror-based soap opera, that was the film I was expecting it to be. When the trailer came out, it looked like the film was taking a campy and comedic route, which I’m sure would have excited people who liked Tim Burton’s early work, …
You may not know Craig “Radioman” Castaldo by his name, but I am almost certain that you have seen the guy. Radioman is known for appearing at the film sets around New York City, always with his bike and trusty radio. Often this results in him getting a brief cameo role in the production. In …
Out of all the films based on Disney theme park rides to come out last decade (as least three rides got adaptations), Pirates of the Caribbean is the only to get turned into a successful franchise.

Rango is one of those animated films, which moves past from the fact that it is animated and becomes something much more. If it wasn’t for the fact that all the characters in this film were talking animals, this film would probably be able to stand alone as a pretty good Western. The films stars (the …
Ever since seeing this film today, I have been thinking very carefully about my thoughts on the film.

It is unmistakable that this film is Alice in Wonderland through the eyes of Tim Burton. The director’s touches are all over the film, especially with its gothic imagery. This film was also the first major 3D film, since Avatar hit it big last year. I do have to say that it was a slightly …
I do have to say that story of John Dillinger is quite an interesting one. I thought that Johnny Depp’s performance as Dillinger was a good one and I also thought that Christian Bale did an OK job as the FBI agent pursuing him. My major complaint with the film is that the story progressed …
I’m sorry to say that I never had the chance to prepare a classic thoughts review for today. However, I saw this documentary today, so that will be a fitting substitute. There are many different types of documentaries, however I find that “talking head” variety to be the most informative and interesting. This film features …
Sweeney Todd is probably Tim Burton’s darkest film. It is even more dark than Sleepy Hollow, which was released eight years ago (and featured over a dozen decapitations). I would also say that this is probably Tim Burton’s best film so far. He has moved a long way in the 22 years he has been …
Here is the third and final of the May “threequels” At approximate 2 hours and 50 minutes in length, the movie could have definitely used a bit of trimming. It’s not that hard to follow, like some critics are saying, however it could have done without some of the sub-plots. Specifically, Chow Yun-Fat’s Sao Feng …
