I liked some of the Disney songs, sure (I wasn’t that bitter as a child), but they didn’t get me all fired-up and dancing around like a retard. Except Aladdin. Of all the Disney films (save for maybe the Nightmare Before Christmas, which technically counts as Disney), Aladdin has the best music. Very upbeat, memorable and with a lightning-fast tempo, there isn’t a single forgettable track in the whole film. [...] [...] I was never big into musicals as a tyke.

Movies like Beetlejuice, the Nightmare Before Christmas and the Corpse Bride are proof of that. The Neitherworld is packed with corpses; people who have been severed in two, had their heads shrunken by voodoo priests, choked on chicken bones or died in grisley car wrecks. All these mutilated dead people are brought to life with a visual style that treads that thin boundary between “gruesome horror movie” and “humorous cartoon”. Sometimes, you don’t know whether to laugh or wince. [...] [...] Tim Burton has a way of making the grotesque and the macabre look like as much fun as possible.

If it’s a Tim Burton flick the music will *always* be done by Elfman" is incorrect. See his works: Vincent, Frankenweenie and Ed Wood. But yes, Burton and Elfman have a VERY loyal working relationship. You have to watch your reviews on Burton films. You never know when a loyal follower will appear. =) *PS. I would have liked to hear your review of how the RealD 3D changed, improved, or hindered your viewing experience...especially since the technology is ground breaking (thanks Disney, Real D, ILM, and Dolby).

This film has more in common with his masterpiece, Edward Scissorhands: it is a fairly simple love story wrapped under a Gorley-esque gothic bow. Better said, it combines what was good about its predecessors and amalgamates it into one of this year’s best films.

Romero. An elderly man (William Hickey; “the Nightmare before Christmas”, “Puppet Master”) hires a hitman to assassinate a mysterious black cat lurking around his mansion. He claims the cat has killed everyone else in his household and is now planning on killing him. The hitman stays true to his word and attempts to kill the cat, but finds the cat isn’t easy prey.
