Frankenweenie

D: Alright, we are dusting off a classic! A Tim Burton classic. Yes, his old short film from long ago (can't remember the date) is revamped and put on the big screen. Epic!
It's the story of a boy who looses his best friend, Sparky the dog. Devastated by the loss, Victor (that's the boys name..duh) digs his friend up and attempts to bring him back from the dead. Which he does. This sets off a chain of events that would be hilarious, heart warming, and creepy.
Now I saw the original version of this movie. The live action short that was I think great. And it was fun comparing the two. The animation was awesome, the story was awesome...it was all just awesome!! Plus it was in black and white. Now that's a classic horror movie move. Made it even better I think.
Conclusion...SEE IT! And I'm not just saying this because I'm a Tim Burton fan..which I am but that's besides the point. Its really good. Its a creepy heartwarming story that will make you love your pet even more. And may I suggest something? See the first version first. Can't really appreciate this one without seeing its roots. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to see if I can reanimate this gator head....Its alive!! AND IT BIT ME!!


N: Every boys dream. A personal home science lab and his best friend Sparky. This flick hosts a corky bunch  of characters that bring to life the ultimate classic. Through the course of the movie Victor faces a devastating loss and to reclaim his best friend he turns into a mad scientist. Against all odds he draws upon the power of lighting....but in the course of his obsession a group of strange characters steal Victors blue prints and turn a small quiet town into a town full of ravishing monsters that wreak havoc and now Victor must become the  one to stop the menacing creatures. Its a Tim Burton classic that all should not miss out on. Even though this is an updated version it still holds that artistic art direction and still casts a  beautiful quality.   If you don't like stop animation then I fee that something is dreadfully wrong with you.

Sinister

D: Ladies and Gentle kids! We welcome you to our theater of horrors. This week we bring you a movie of terror, fear, dread, and...hold on let me check my thesaurus...ah! Fright!! We bring you fresh from the theater, Sinister.
A tale of a family who moves into a house where grisly murders took place (tell me something new). The father, a writer is looking for a story, comes across a box filled with old home movies that reveal a most disturbing and gruesome horror. One that will shake his very being and place him and his family in a never ending curse.
Ok, got the jest of it? Alrighty then. now my thoughts. Ahem...I thought this movie was excellent. Yes, yes, the moving into a house were people got murdered is so cliche it makes you think yawn. Been there seen that. But as the movie goes on you learn more and more about the family, the murders that took place, and even when to just say...done! And as things take a more and more sinister turn for the worse (pun intended), you are wondering up till the end 'how the far-fignewton is this going to get resolved'? This movie has it all. Creepy kids, a demon guy, ugly murders, and yes..loud music that make you jump. So I would recommend it. In fact go see it. And if there are teeny boppers there, you will get a good laugh! Cause they jump at anything. Ha! Look at that one! She is hiding her face...you can't hide from him sweety, he is right behind you...BOO!


N: You really want to know what the scary part of this movie is?  Its the similarity between the writer Ellision (played by Ethan Hawk) and myself. I as well tend to get so caught up in my work...locking myself away in the office like Ellison we keep pouring the whisky. Neglect the ones we love and become so obsessive with our work until we are thrown into a hysterical nightmare that turns us against everyone.Though I have been caught in my own hunting's it has not been as bad as what I had just seen in this movie. But enough about my personal reflections. Lets get dive further into the blood soaked horror. Lets settle in. Find a comfortable seat. Make sure you've got your popcorn and be prepared to be confronted the ghostly undead and a masked stranger that is pulling all of the strings. The obsessive writer Ellison stumbles upon another gritty murder story that he must solve in order to reclaim his lost fame as a true crime writer. Thus, after Ellison and his family move into a house once owned by a family that had been murdered he discovers movie reels that  reveal ghastly murders and as he continues to watch the footage connecting the dots; the sinister ghosts rise from the depths to attack Ellison. Yet in the end the true murder is invalid and once again history repeats itself. Shoot I hope I did not give it away. Though I do hope I painted a welcoming picture for you and enticed you to watch this flick.
