Movie Review: Disney’s ‘Frankenweenie’ Directed by Tim Burton
Losing a pet is a hard thing to go through – especially when you are a kid. It was that subject that Tim Burton tackled in his 1984 short film Frankenweenie, where a young boy named Victor Frankenstein brought his dog Sparky back to life after being hit by a car. Burton was fired by […]

Angelina Jolie’s “Maleficent” May Have Found Its Sleeping Beauty
You can say the fad beginning. And I don’t like it one bit. Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” made $334 million. Obviously, that kind of number is going to make studios turn their heads and look. So now we have our recent fad of fairy tale stories retold. Currently we have “Grimm” and “Once Upon […]

Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie” Gets Its First Poster
I am a big fan of Tim Burton, but he is far from perfect in my eyes. I am much more a fan of his earlier work (“Batman”, “Beetlejuice”, “Edward Scissorhands”). But he has some ground to make up after seriously disappointing me with “Alice in Wonderland”. This might be the year. Burton has two […]
Eva Green Wants To Join Tim Burton’s “Dark Shadows”
I am usually a huge fan of Tim Burton but lately not so much. I really didn’t care for Alice in Wonderland in any way and have no intention of wanting to re-watch it anytime soon. Add to that, he is currently filming Frankenweenie which I think is a great short film, but I can’t […]
Failed “Superman Lives” Suit Test Footage
I am just going to let the footage speak for itself. Tim Burton was at one time attached to direct the sequel Superman Lives back in 1998. Kevin Smith wrote the screenplay, and Nicholas Cage was set to star as the Man of Steel. So what went wrong? In my opinion, the casting of Cage, […]
DVD Review – “Waking Sleeping Beauty”
I briefly talked about Waking Sleeping Beauty last week in my “DVD Picks of the Week” so I don’t want to reiterate everything I said before. But the main point is that I love Disney musicals, and as soon as I saw the trailer I was dying to see it. After getting a chance to […]
