Batman Returns (1992) – In recent reviews of Tim Burton movies, I’ve written about the difference between Burton the auteur and Burton the director-for-hire. Whichever one is working, his movies have a great signature look but Burton the auteur creates movies that have a level of depth. Burton-for-hire is just kind of phoning it in. Burton … Continue reading →

Batman (1989) – Well given my reviews of all the Spider-Man movies a few weeks ago it should really be no surprise that with The Dark Knight Rises being all anyone’s talking about lately that I would go back to the start of the Batman franchise.

Alice in Wonderland (2010) — Above all else this is yummy yummy eye candy (and I’m not just talking about Mia Wasikowski [rim shot]). The look of this film is fucking gorgeous in that usual twisted Tim Burton way. The other big plus is the cast. Burton’s usual stock players Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, … Continue reading →
