9- a film by tim burton

9- The new movie from Tim Burton.


To sum up the movie: A character 9 (Elijah Wood), a rag doll is left with few others in a ravaged, nightmare world.

Up's

• It' got Elijah Wood, (Lord of the Rings, Everything is Illuminated); can't go wrong with him.


• It was adapted from an academy award winning short with the same name.


• It's made with Burton style, halloween-like nightmare animation.

Down's

• No claymation. Bye stop-motion! I loved you so. With today's technology we can say goodbye to it.


• Not the traditional Burton style-however. It has no skinny-legged skeletons with music blasting party monsters. :(


• We can't expect the usual Burton-cast: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, that one old guy that sounds like Morgan Freeman, etc...


• Change-is-a' coming. We will no longer have the old Timmy as we used to. Plots have been taken and technology has kicked in. As Jack Johnson once said, "Where all da good people go?"

nightmare revisted

I thought of the perfect Christmas gift! Nightmare Before Christmas' Nightmare Revisted. Nightmare Revisted is the soundtrack to Nightmare Before Christmas but instead of having the original cast play the songs, Danny Elfman, the composer, chose indie and rock bands to give a new twist to it. Such artists play songs as, Marilyn Manson (creepy!), Flyleaf, Amy Lee, and RjD2. Sweet, Right!?
You can pick up a copy from Amazon for $14

And if you don't like the bands or have some personal problems with the singers because they cut you in line at the mall that one day you can always pick up the original soundtrack here.

Plus, if you haven't read the interview we recently had with Aggie just look below!

totoro

I was recently in a dream when I saw Totoro on a wall mural. That inspired me to wake up early and view the trailer. And how I love the trailer. I would have to say this is one of the cutest movies ever only because their animation and story plot is so creative and ingenious. This little world has its own creatures and dust bunnies and magic to it.

If you are like me and love the classic anime movies by Studio Ghibli there are several other movies. Ones off the top are Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle (Oscar Nominee Best Animation).
