Blu-ray Review: Tim Burton’s Return to Playful Form with ‘Frankenweenie’
28 January 2013 3:13 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Tim Burton used to be one of my favorite filmmakers. His first eight films, from 1985 to 1999 — “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” “Beetlejuice,” “Batman,” “Edward Scissorhands,” “Batman Returns,” “Ed Wood,” “Mars Attacks!,” and “Sleepy Hollow” — made him one of my favorite filmmakers alive. And then he fell from the pedestal on which I put him, with over a decade of disappointment. I heard he had returned to form by expanding on one of his first visions in “Frankenweenie,” now available on Blu-ray and DVD. Almost.
Blu-ray Rating: 3.5/5.0
I’ll admit that “Frankenweenie” displays some of the wit and creativity that Burton lost in his soulless work of the ’00s but I still wish he had made it 20 years ago. Just because it’s undeniably better than other mainstream animated junk like “Ice Age 4” or “Hotel Transylvania” doesn’t make it great. Only by comparison. To be fair, there’s a lot of fun, »

Warm Bodies Roundtable Interview: Nicholas Hoult on the Humor and Heart of the Film
28 January 2013 11:09 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
On February 1st Jonathan Levine's zombie rom-com Warm Bodies arrives in theaters courtesy of Summit Entertainment. During a recent press day for the flick, Dread Central caught up with the director and several cast members for roundtable interviews in support of the release.
Based on the popular book written by Isaac Marion, the wonderfully charming and thoughtful Warm Bodies follows a zombie named R (Nicholas Hoult), who begins to fall in love with a young girl named Julie (Teresa Palmer) after saving her during a zombie attack. As their connection grows, R begins to de-zombify, which triggers an entire world-changing chain of events that will forever transform the post-apocalyptic world they both now belong to. With a screenplay written by Levine, Warm Bodies also stars Rob Corddry, John Malkovich, Dave Franco and Analeigh Tipton.
First up is our interview with Warm Bodies co-star Hoult, who gave us his thoughts »

Top 10 Tim Burton Characters
26 January 2013 3:39 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Tim Burton is a director known for creating an array of eccentric characters that populate his macabre films. In fact, it’s common for him to build his films around his characters – think how many Burton films are named after someone featured in it – making many of his works feel like character pieces.
Even those of his films that are adaptations contain Burton’s own spin on the source characters. Usually Burton’s own spin creates outcasts, misunderstood by the world around them. It’s true of household names such as Edward Scissorhands and Batman to his take on director Ed Wood. Arguably, as they are more personal to the man, these are the 10 best of Tim Burton’s weird and wonderful creations.
Oh, before you read on, you should probably prepare to see Johnny Depp’s face a few times over the coming pages.

10 Actors Who Have Played More Than One Iconic Character
21 January 2013 6:23 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The internet and film magazines are rife with countdowns of cinema’s most iconic roles. There have been some amazing portrayals throughout cinema history of a wide variety of characters, both real-life historical figures and people from fiction, some created solely for a particular film or franchise.
For most actors the opportunity to take on a good role that they will be remembered for is probably a once in a lifetime thing but there are actors who have been fortunate enough to be blessed with several stand out characters. These are the roles that when we think of our favourite movies, inevitably come to mind. The characters that drew us into cinema in the first place. That without whom, the films they appear in wouldn’t have been anywhere near as memorable.
You could argue that makeup and wardrobe go a long way into bringing these characters to life but »

Extended Thoughts on ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl’
19 January 2013 2:00 AM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Directed by Gore Verbinski
Written by Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, Stuart Beattie, and Jay Wolpert
Starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Geoffrey Rush
Captain Jack Sparrow is the worst thing that ever happened to Johnny Depp’s career. The prevailing wisdom is that the constantly soused pirate is what vaulted Depp to superstardom, and though it’s accurate, I don’t think this financial leap represented a positive for his qualitative growth as an actor. Some people have found a balance between being legitimate actors and movie stars. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon come to mind. (Sadly, not every one of the 21st-century Ocean’s Eleven qualify as stars. Sorry, Eddie Jemison.) This trio are easily among the most recognizable faces in film, this generation’s respective answers to Cary Grant, Robert Redford, and Henry Fonda. Their »

My Favourite Tarantino Movie - Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
16 January 2013 11:35 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Flickering Myth's writing team count down to the UK release of Django Unchained by selecting their favourite Quentin Tarantino movies; next up is Kirsty Capes with 2003's Kill Bill: Vol. 1...
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is a bit like a bull in a china shop. There is supposed structure in the narrative form, with each incident of the plot boxed neatly in a "chapter", but somehow Tarantino weaves an engaging and cohesive story amid chaos. The jumps and swings in plot, typical of Tarantino's style, which has been well established in his previous three films by this point. The conception of the plot in Kill Bill is so careful and articulate, yet witty and aggressive that it demands attention. And that's what it gets.
Although by no stretch of the imagination is Kill Bill Tarantino at his best, it was one of the Tarantino films that demonstrated him to be a consistent director. »

New on DVD: 'Frankenweenie,' 'Dredd,' 'House at the End of the Street'
8 January 2013 5:29 PM, PST | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Frankenweenie If you're a fan of Tim Burton's eccentric, gothic style, particularly his Edward Scissorhands era, you will most certainly love this full-length version of the movie that almost killed his career when Disney fired him over the original short. If you've ever had a pet die on you (as I have recently; keep the Kleenex handy) you know how horrible it feels, and Burton captures that sadness and longing to bring back the dead--in this case, a young boy in fact does bring back his beloved Sparky from unexpected death with a wild experiment. The characters are freaky and probably too scary for young kids under 10, but the story is endearing and the stop-motion animation fantastic. If you can see this in 3D at home, definitely choose the option. Extras:...

Biggest Films of 2013 – The Great Gatsby
7 January 2013 11:48 PM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Forgive me if I appear a little confused here; as I am writing this on the back off of an unsuccessful quiz night in which my significant answers which no-one else could manage were:
The sequel to Bridget Jones. Where Justin Bieber was born. Identifying a song as Glee by the intro music and identifying a song from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory. All which managed to give the impression of me as a hopelessly sad character with a flair for the ultra camp; therefore you won’t be surprised to hear I’ve got quite the taste for Baz Luhrman films and The Great Gatsby is his latest glitz and glam offering.
We are muscling in to the fabled territory of ‘Oscar contenders that are no longer Oscar contenders because of release date issues and now will be a monumental flop’ and it requires commitment to get us »

"Frankenweenie" Never Quite Rises From The Grave
7 January 2013 8:03 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Something has clearly happened to Tim Burton. Once upon a time, Frankenweenie might have been a revelation, a gothic counterpoint to E.T. in its exploration of how children deal with loss. But that Burton is gone, presumably buried under the piles of money he got after Alice in Wonderland. Possessing neither the nastiness of Edward Scissorhands or the warped sweetness of Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, Frankenweenie manages to take perhaps the saddest event in a child’s life and give it the visual texture of a Rembrandt and the emotional texture of flypaper. Gorgeous, hopelessly reverent, but painfully lacking in insight, Frankenweenie reminds us at every turn of the director that Burton used to be but is no longer. Beware, as a few spoilers lay ahead.

'Family Guy': See Sunday's 'Monty Python' opening credits -- Exclusive Video
4 January 2013 1:37 PM, PST | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
And now for something completely different than the normal Family Guy intro: The beginning of Sunday’s episode will pay homage to Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Yes, the animated Fox series has hijacked one of the beloved British sketch comedy’s opening credits sequences and given it a Griffin twist. (Family Guy, of course, has a history of reimagining TV show and movie opening credits, including those from The Incredible Hulk, Law & Order, and The Naked Gun.)
The Python tribute is strictly random fun, and has little to do with the rest of the episode, in which Chris attends »

Blu Review: Frankenweenie 3D
4 January 2013 12:29 PM, PST | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
Cinelinx gets a charge out of the Frankenweenie 3D Blu-ray!
This review is based on the 4 disc 3D Blu-ray set.
The Set-up
A young boy named Victor (voice of Charlie Tahan) reanimates his beloved dog Sparky after it dies, causing a series of misadventures when his classmates find out. Also stars the voices of Martin Short, Martin Landau, and Catherine O'Hara.
Directed by Tim Burton
The Delivery
Tim Burton remakes his early short as a full-length stop-motion animated feature, and from the get-go, it is the last movie you might expect to carry the Disney label. Sure, Tim Burton has had success making the macabre mainstream, but a stop-motion animated flick about a dead dog (in black and white no less) might have caused ol' Walt to have a fit.
Although it is marketed as a kid's film, Frankenweenie is definitely not for the very young. In truth, older fans »

Nicholas Hoult Talks Eating Brains, Playing an Unconventional Hero, Communicating without Words, and More on the Set of Warm Bodies
4 January 2013 1:45 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
In October 2011, I was lucky enough to visit the set of Jonathan Levine's Warm Bodies. The film follows R (Nicholas Hoult), a zombie who falls in love with the non-zombie Julie (Teresa Palmer) after eating her boyfriend's brains. Judging by the trailers, it looks like Levine has crafted a sweet, funny rom-zom-com. In addition to getting zombified on the set, I got the chance to sit down and talk with Hoult. During out conversation, we spoke about eating brains, zombie school, influential zombie movies, playing an unconventional hero, communication without words, and much more. Hit the jump to check out the interview. Warm Bodies opens February 1st. Watching you in the first sequence, the way you're dragging yourself, how did you come up with your body mannerisms? Nicholas Hoult: What happens to him at the beginning of the story is he can't communicate with anyone, he's lost the power of speech, »
