Dark Shadows is a movie that has everything it needs to be a lot of fun, but ends up being too hit or miss to fully succeed in the end. The film has a great cast, some very impressive production values (fitting for a Tim Burton film), and an initial setup for a story that […]
During the weekend of March 16-18, 2012, I was able to be a part of WonderCon 2012. WonderCon is normally located up in San Francisco, but this year, due to renovations taking place at the Moscone Center, WonderCon was relocated to the Anaheim Convention Center. 2012 marks the 26th anniversary of WonderCon and to kick […]
I know it sounds strange, but as much as I write, I hardly ever read. Reading to me is a luxury that is afforded by time, that which I have not much of. Boo! But it was almost two years ago when I came across a book title while glancing through an issue of Entertainment […]

Saturday’s panel, “Building Worlds: Inside The Walt Disney Vault,” at Disney’s D23 Expo has already been the source of some exciting and interesting upcoming films from the Mouse House, including Pixar’s Brave, John Carter, and of course, The Avengers.

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is a sequel of sorts to the original animated Walt Disney classic. It’s been thirteen years since Alice left Wonderland, and things have changed quite a bit in her life and also in Wonderland. This updated take on the classic story by Lewis Carroll, tweaked the original story in a […]
Once upon a time, a magical kingdom lost its King and the magic that had protected it for decades began to disappear. Try as they might, the caretakers of the kingdom couldn’t restore the missing magic no matter what they did. With the King gone, no one knew how to lead the kingdom and some […]
I’m not sure how this Tim Burton film ever slipped by me in the past. Now that I caught up with his latest work, Alice in Wonderland, it’s time I tackle James and the Giant Peach on Blu-ray this August. Disney releases the classic on Blu-ray August 3rd. The movie is voiced by an all-star […]
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp continue their long collaboration that dates back to the early 90’s with a new version of Alice in Wonderland. The classic tale gets the big Hollywood treatment with great special effects, dashing duels, evil queens and a very crazy whacked-out Johnny Depp. Who can ask for anything more? But wait! […]
