Clearly, early Burton is the best Burton, I think. <br /><br />I agree with pretty much every word of this review.

I don't love Michael Keaton as the Batman character, but I think he's still the best Bruce Wayne.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-44720334925916188342018-08-24T09:12:43.297-05:002018-08-24T09:12:43.297-05:00I liked Big Fish a lot.

I've seen Sleepy Hollow quite a few times because my brother loves it and he plays it around Halloween almost every year.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921029597363212734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-21943068136639670172018-08-24T08:41:28.007-05:002018-08-24T08:41:28.007-05:00Ed Wood is pretty great.

I also think <i>Sleepy Hollow</i> is a lot better than its reputation.<br /><br />I agree, though. Burton is pretty hit or miss.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-57366338503710778042018-08-23T23:07:43.367-05:002018-08-23T23:07:43.367-05:00I saw Beetlejuice for the first time just a few we...I saw Beetlejuice for the first time just a few weeks ago. I know. Ridiculous. I just never got around to it when it first came out and after that, I … still just never got around to it.<br /><br />It's pretty great.<br /><br />For me, there doesn't seem to be much middle ground for Burton. He has a few that I really don't like at all - Batman, Planet of the Apes - and a bunch of movies that I love.<br /><br />My absolute favorite is Ed Wood. I don't know how many times I've seen it. Over and over. Every single scene is a magnificent mini-movie that is funny and entertaining all by itself.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17921029597363212734noreply@blogger.com
