Tim Burton, well he definitely is not my favorite director. I didn't like some of his movies - especially Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I also thought Corpse Bride was really dumb, and Batman forever sucked. James and the Giant peach, well no comment. I loved Sweeney Todd and Edward Scissorhands to. Alice in Wonderland was good as well, and so was Batman (original) and Batman returns.


Sorry, I made this explaination waayyyyyyy too long xD

No, not to long at all! I agree with you on Batman Forever, but Tim Burton didn't direct it. Just the first two. I loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it was much truer to the the book than the original Gene Wilder version, although I like that one, too. I read James...Peach, too and really enjoyed the movie. I don't remember tons about Corpse Bride, but I remember liking it. I don't think I've ever watched one of his films and hated it although some I like more than others. Edward scissorhands may always remain my favorite.

I love the Alice Kingsleigh books and have liked the four or five different versions that I've seen, although I know there are several more! It's hard to compare them, even though I have my favorites. The books are all about imagination and the impossible, so there are really no boundaries to what can be done with the characters!

Towelhead-
I came across this movie and didn't bother because of the title. I was flipping thru the channels and saw that Aaron Eckhart was in it...I like him in the Batman flick and began to watch this movie.

I had to go back and watch it from the beginning. WOW, it wasn't a run-of-the-mill movie about 'teens', it had a bunch of "-isms" that were worked into the script. A well done, thought provoking movie.

LOL, I wanted to beat the crap out of most of the males in the flick.

Not a kiddie movie....A++++.

I really like Aaron Echkhart, good actor, so I'll keep a sharp eye out for that film, thanks Richard.

I finally got my hands on Withnail & I. It was slightly different to what I expected, but an instant favourite anyway!

Most of the BEST movies that I have seen lately are small productions that 'supporting' actors star in-all the actors in this movie gave slam-bang performances.

The gal that played the lead was so young looking that I GOT CREEPED out about her doing the movie!

AE's character made me yell at the screen-LOL, A good thing for an actor?

I love it when I get immersed in a flick and end up talking/yelling/cursing at the characters...I hate them until the movie ends, then I love them for getting me mad and entertaining me...

You really have to be there.

Anyone seen Green Zone yet, with Matt Damon? My brother is in it, or at least I think he is - unless his part wound up on the cutting room floor. I only want to see it if he's in it, otherwise it's just not my type of movie. He played a soldier, and all he says is "I don't know, sir". hehe, let me know if you happen to see it..

Green Zone
Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) Their latest electrifying thriller does not measure up to the last two Bourne Movies. There is action from start to finish but the action got blurred and was not believable in spots. Although I agree with the idea behind the movie it did not ring true, as it seems all Iraqi themed movies miss their mark.

I watched the 1965 movie Dr. Who and the Daleks. It was actually pretty good, but I found it weird that it came out while William Hartnell was playing the Doctor on tv, so they had a different man play the Doctor. They also sort of threw cannon out the window for a little bit. It was in colour though and the set was really cool. (very 60s!)

Oh and there's a sequel so I'm gonna check that out next.

Yesterday I watched "Grumpy Old Men" with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon. One of my all-time favorites. Those two guys were so good together in movies. Shame they are both gone now. My favorite part is when one throws a dead fish in the back seat of the other's vehicle and he doesn't find it right away.

Zombieland. Actually saw it a few weeks ago, but I can't
remember if I reviewed it in here. I give it an A+++++! It was awesome, we actually rented it from Redbox twice.
