But who am I to say? I'm a fan of his work, and even took joy in watching the delightful imperfections of BIG FISH.<BR/><BR/>I love CHOCOLATE FACTORY and it is undeniable that fatherhood and family have always been in the center of his filmography (and those twisted trees and dark cinematography sometimes hid that pretty well).<BR/><BR/>His masterpiece remains SCISSORHANDS for me - and Burton remains one of the few 'auteurs' (worthy of that title) of American cinema.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-85737281391832790032007-04-27T11:08:00.000-04:002007-04-27T11:08:00.000-04:00no mention of Batman Returns? what gives?no mention of Batman Returns? what gives?Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801450774497608966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1478903138814136972007-04-27T10:43:00.000-04:002007-04-27T10:43:00.000-04:00MARS ATTACKS! is pretty fun, and I've always been ...MARS ATTACKS! is pretty fun, and I've always been a fan of SLEEPY HOLLOW. It contains one of my favorite Depp performances, it's stylish as hell, and you really can't argue with that supporting cast, Caspar Van Dien excepted. It's maybe the last full-on dark live-action Burton film before he for some reason or other started to go soft.Paul C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02699493473242261477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-17864470037397013322007-04-27T10:00:00.000-04:002007-04-27T10:00:00.000-04:00I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's charme...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's charmed by the balls-out weirdness of <I>Mars Attacks</I>.

I don't mind Depp's performance as much as most do, since it's one of the few elements of the movie that approaches the dark heart of Dahl's original novel. What kills the movie for me is how it basically turns into a Spielbergian daddy-issues story just to set up a nice happy ending for Wonka. Deep Roy is pretty great as the different Oompa Loompas though.Paul C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02699493473242261477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-347222490240895272007-04-27T09:41:00.000-04:002007-04-27T09:41:00.000-04:00Big Fish was such a conundrum.

Edward Scissorhands remains the only film of his to feel truly magical ("Sometimes, you can still catch me dancing in it"...? Don't get me started). I hope he hits big again soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
