• Feelin’ Spooky: Dark Shadows (2012)

  Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows is a guilty pleasure that I’m honestly not that guilty about. The movie was reviled during its theatrical run, and nobody has really spoken of it since, but I’ve always had a soft spot for it. The movie has flaws, for sure, but what I like in it I like quite…

• Feelin’ Spooky: Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)

  

  1/2 By Christian DiMartino Last year I set out to revisit all of the A Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Or at least the first five, because I wasn’t sure if I’d seen the fifth (which, was pretty awful). I sure knew though that I’d seen the sixth, Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare. I saw…

• A Trip Back To: Edward Scissorhands (1990)

  

  Remember when Hollywood gave more of a damn? Enough of a damn to fund a movie like Edward Scissorhands? Mind you, when Tim Burton broke onto the scene with Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, there probably wasn’t an immediate clamoring for more of what he had to offer, seeing as the movie didn’t get great reviews. Or…

• Every Tim Burton Movie, Ranked

  

  By Christian DiMartino Tim Burton turned 64 on August 25, and with that and the upcoming release of his Netflix series, The Addams Family spinoff Wednesday, I thought it would be a good enough excuse to talk about his body of work. Of which, I am honestly a big fan of. Many think that Burton…

• Feelin’ Spooky: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

  

  I am 24 years old, approaching 25. I have been watching Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street since I was about 8 years old. If that sounds a tad alarming, perhaps it should be, but also, I think I’ve turned out somewhat okay. In any regard, I have been watching this movie for roughly…

• On DVD This Week: Three Visual Stunners, Two Ain’t Worth it

  By Christian DiMartino Here are the following movies on DVD today: Alice Through the Looking Glass: The sequel to the visually stunning but deeply mediocre Alice in Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass proved to be yet another flop for Johnny Depp. Truth of the matter is, for whatever reason, I didn’t completely hate it. I remember having…

• Tim Burton films: RANKED

  By Christian DiMartino I was sitting in some bulls**t class about maps or some s**t and it occurred to me: Tim Burton has a new movie coming out. So… I should rank his others. Because why would I pay attention to the maps? I personally love Burton, for the most part. His films, if all…

• Review: Alice Through the Looking Glass

  By Christian DiMartino Johnny Depp is going through a bit of a rough patch right now, and Alice Through the Looking Glass isn’t helping any. His career has been in a slump since… well, kind of starting with Alice in Wonderland. Not to mention the scandal involving his wife, Amber Heard. Oh yeah, and critics are dancing all over…

• Great Movies: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

  By Christian DiMartino The 2007 Oscar season was a strange one. It was going on during the Writer’s Strike, and so results were all over the place. Atonement began as a front-runner, Juno and There Will Be Blood were barely apart of the conversation, and so on. Atonement didn’t even score a Best Director nomination, which is preposterous. But none of…

• Oscars 2016: The Final Predictions

  By Christian DiMartino The end is near… I start making my Oscar predictions fairly early, and I have to say: This year is a tough one to crack. Why? Simple: There were too many good movies. Things that once seemed like sure things (Steve Jobs) are out. And alas, it has come to the final…
