New Mad Hatter Poster is Slightly Less Disturbing

Frankenweenie Feature Film Rolls Forward

I know what you’re probably thinking…’Frankenweenie’ sounds like the title for a really sketchy, Halloween themed, -ahem- adult film, right? In reality, it is just one more family-friendly piece of brilliance from the mind of director Tim Burton.
One of Burton’s first projects, Frankenweenie is a black and white short film about young Vincent, whose dog [...]

Mirror/Mirror – “There Is a Place Like No Place on Earth”

2009 and 2010 will see the release of two films by master visionary directors — Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus by Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam. In a world that’s full to the brim of remakes and reboots, unoriginal thought after unoriginal thought, you’d think we’d be happy [...]

9 Review

9 Review

How does one begin to approach a film they wanted to like?
Before viewing 9, the film had a lot of things in its favor, the first being absolutely stunning visuals. That looked to be aided by a strong, possibly original premise about a stitchpunk (my gamer side tells me to stick to “Sackboy”) being the [...]

Say it, savor it, revel in it. For the past year, ever since we saw the very first teaser for “The Dark Knight“, which was entirely comprised of character voice-overs and an ominous blue light slowly illuminating a gradually deteriorating Bat symbol, this has been the movie to see in 2008.
