Year: 2006
Director: Henry Selick
Plot: This stop-motion animated fable was a big hit when it was released -- not only at the box office, but critically. It was praised for its stunning originality and for the excellence of its execution. In addition, it was praised for being a completely absorbing fable that both grownups and children can enjoy, so long as the children are able to its handle scary bits (beginning perhaps at age seven or eight). In the story, Jack Skellington (voice of Chris Sarandon) is the Pumpkin King of Halloweentown, a realm of reality where the inhabitants make it their life's work to scare humans on Halloween. He's good at his work, and is very popular around town, but it all bores him. In a funk one day, he wanders into a wood where every tree is the doorway to realms serving one or another human holiday, and falls through the doorway into Christmas. There, he sees scenes of such glee and good will that he is overwhelmed. He returns to Halloweentown with the inspiration to persuade his fellow citizens to kidnap Santa and do Christmas in their own Halloweentown way -- complete with snakes and shrunken heads. Despite strong arguments against this project by Jack's otherwise loyal girlfriend, Sally (voice of Catherine O'Hara), Santa (voice of Edward Ivory) is duly captured, and the townspeople prepare a very special Christmas for everyone. Jack is excited about the new plan, and at first doesn't notice that Sally isn't around much anymore. Meanwhile, Oogie Boogie (voice of Ken Page), a sinister opponent of Jack's, has re-kidnapped Santa and has captured Sally as well. Since Sally is the true love of Jack's life and (he eventually realizes) the only one who can be relied upon to tell him the truth in every circumstance, a confrontation with Oogie Boogie becomes inevitable. In addition to being a monumental work of animation (it took over 120 animators and many more technicians more than two years to film it), this show features ten very appropriate musical numbers by composer Danny Elfman, who also supplies Jack's singing voice. In October 2006, fans of the innovative animated classic got to experience The Nightmare Before Christmas in a whole new dimension when the film was re-released into theaters in Disney Digital 3-D -- a process developed to add remarkable new depth to films that were originally released in standard 2-D. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Body: "Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas" is a fair family film that has more weak points than strong points. First, the music is not the best, They all sound pretty much the same, and none really stand out. The songs do sound like something zombies and monsters would sing however. I also think that there were just too many songs throughout the entire film. The story is somewhat memorable, but pretty predictable. Personally, I think that children would like the story more than adults. The performances are pretty good as well. However, the main characters don't have equal time on-screen. And many of the supporting characters could have been seen more, especially any that had a part in a subplot. The animation is the biggest strength this film has. The characters are memorable, mostly because of their look. If your an adult, you may want to skip this one -- unless your a Tim Burton fan of course. This one is mainly for kids.

Body: The hype around Coraline was quite big with a large web presence as well as commercials on tv (which I don't have so I have to take this as second hand information ;) ). But even without the hype it would have been clear that I had to see it because:1. it is based on a Neil Gaiman story2. it is directed by Henry Selick, the director of The Nightmare before Christmas3. it was shot in stop-motion, same as The Nightmare before ChristmasThe movie was everything I expected it to be, an astonishing ride with fantastic visuals, some scary scenes and a cool story, in addition it boasted an exceptionally creepy soundtrack. The only bummer was that the cinema we watched it at didn't support the Tru3d feature...Nevertheless the movie gets 10 out of 10 points. (Who knows, in Tru3d it might have received more points ;) ).That's it from my side, now go and watch it!

Body: A Christmas Story Without a second thought, my favorite Christmas movie. I owe this movie SO MUCH for bringing my semi-dysfunctional family together every holiday season. Just about the time when everyone has had enough food and alcohol and the conversation begins to lull, I turn this movie on and all that hate and resentment for each other just melts away and another Christmas disaster is avoided. Thank you A Christmas Story! National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Another film that seems to help subside all those eggnog induced rages with my family members. Home Alone Grew up with this movie and have loved it each and every time I've watched it. For some reason, it never gets old for me. Too bad that mischievous boy grew up to be a whole lot of crazy. Scrooged This is the only Scrooge inspired film that I like. Bill Murray is spot on throughout. A Nightmare Before Christmas Probably no explanation needed for this one. The Family Stone Didn't get too much attention during and after its release, but a great fractured family film.

Body: [quote user="seely"] ...I haven't really liked Burton's last few films. I thoroughly enjoyed 'Big Fish', and thought perhaps it was a bit of a maturing in his filmmaking, away from the cartoon-ish qualities of a lot of his earlier film and more towards a magic-realism approach (though he always had elements of that). However, everything since then has to me almost felt like a regression of sorts--Corpse Bride seemed a bit of a rehashing of Beetlejuice/Nightmare Before Christmas, and Sweeney Todd? Well, I just plain didn't really care for it, though I thought the cast carried it through fairly well. Maybe I'm just being over-critical? Thoughts? [/quote] Big Fish is possibly one of my favorite movies of all time. i think it's beautifully made and the story is so imaginative, plus I can see a little bit of the tension Burton must have felt in his own life with the reality and fantasy. I can say that I wasn't a huge fan of Planet of the Apes, I just didn't really enjoy it much, and I really loved the old ones. We used to watch marathons of them when i was a little kid. But, I absolutely love the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I think Johnny Depp was hilarious and I enjoyed the world he made so much. I think Tim Burton and Roald Dahl were a match made in heaven.

Body: Well, here are a few more that were overlooked: The Addams Family & Addams Family Values Morticia and Grandma were hilariously sadistic witches. Army of Darkness Great scene with Ash and a witch . . . Big Trouble in Little China Wasn't it all about that ancient Chinese warlock coming back? Dune The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood were just a bunch of bald witches. Excalibur Merlin and Morgana Le Fey fit the bill perfectly. Love Potion No. 9 Anne Bancroft was more of a witch than a psychic right? Return to Oz That creepy witch that rotated her heads depending on her mood. Sleepy Hollow Spooky eyeless witch that admittedly scared the poop out of me when I first saw the film. The Little Mermaid Ursula was a sea witch. Still a witch. The Nightmare Before Christmas There were some typical broomstick and wart witches flying around. Willow Great old lady fight between the good and bad witches. Howl's Moving Castle incredible anime flick about witches and warlocks in a steampunk like world. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves & Robin Hood: Men In Tights Shithouse crazy witches with freaky eyes. Enchanted Fun semi-spoof of classic Disney. With a witch. and lastly, probably my favorite: Four Rooms A coven of witches including Madonna in a tight leather dress, Alicia Witt with pasties, and the rest bare breasted trying to resurrect their dominatrix leader from the dead. Good times.

Body: Today’s video is a brilliantly simple mash-up: The Nightmare Before Christmas meets the song “Halloween”, by everyone’s favorite goth-punkers, The Misfits. The attempts to sync the lyrics with characters’ mouth movements are only so-so. But what makes the clip really work is how the tempo of the song highlights the kinetic energy of the film. The Nightmare Before Christmas, while being a widely-loved family film, never betrays its spooky aesthetic. “Halloween” by The Misfits is decidedly less kid-friendly, with lines like, “This day anything goes / Burning bodies hanging from poles / I remember Halloween.” But there is an undeniable kick to the beat that makes it feel celebratory. For more upbeat Misfits fun, check out the video for their cover of The Cryptkickers’ classic The Monster Mash. It’s cut together with stop-motion animation from the 1969 Halloween special Mad Monster Party. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: I fricken loved this movie. This week I got my full share of shamelessly heartfelt, hysterical belly laughs, since I saw Step Brothers earlier in the week and then this. But to be honest, I haven't had this much fun watching a movie since Zombie Strippers. The movie starts in the middle of the action with little to no explanation as to what's going on--I suppose the first two Evil Dead films sort of serve as the exposition, or maybe this movie really needs no introduction. The basic gist is that Bruce Cambell gets sent back in time by malevolent forces and is deemed as a hero of prophecy after defeating several undead foes with a chainsaw and then a miraculously appearing shotgun. Never have the people of the middle ages seen such heroics--or such raw, quotable attitude--in one man, heightened by his "boom-stick" and perpetually bloody chainsaw. He is soon commisioned to retrieve the Necronomicon, the book of the dead, so that he may save the kingdom from the evil forces. But he insists that he only wants to get back to his own time, and that's the only reason he's going to get it. Impressed by his bravery, he finds a marvelously sanitary medieval squeeze, who is swept off her feet when he grabs her violently and says: "Gimme some sugar, baby." The best part of the film is undeniably Bruce Cambell. He is an undeniable hard-ass, and some of his one liner's are DROP DEAD HILARIOUS (heh). However, my ceaselessly analytical mind did pick up on some distinct visual properties of the film. It's campy set decoration brings to mind some of Burton's work, which seemingly all came later than this, such as Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands. Even the stop-motion effects of the living dead seem almost taken right out of Nightmare. This is one of those B-Movie gems that is hilarious in its insistence to not be taken seriously. Even the scenes that at first seem legitimately meant to scare, some classic camp or gag is thrown in to make it completely hysterical. It is at once a tribute to the genre, and even moreso a parody, all the while remaining faithful to its origins and throwing in an inventiveness that is difficult to find anymore.

Body: Let us give them some animation to think about. If we keep them confused long enough we could get an upper hand if they plan on attacking us. If they want to help us, these movies tell them that we really, really need help. Wizards (1977 Directed by Ralph Bakshi) - A vision of post-apocalyptic Earth where magic and mythic creators, are at war with technology. Spriited Away (2001 Directed by Hayao Miyazaki also known as Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi) - Art and Story for the sake of Art and Story. Shows that we humans can put effort toward something purely for the sake of creating something beautiful just because we can. Pinocchio (1940 Directed by Hamilton Luske and Ben Sharpsteen) - The classic story of a "non-human" trying to become human and has to learn several lessons the hard way. Nightmare Before Christmas (1993 Directed by Henry Selick (but Written and other things by Tim Burton) - Story of an outsider discovering beauty and love and trying to partake in it, but does not quite get it right. Pink Floyd The Wall (1982 Directed by Alan Parker) - A rock star who cannot handle life becomes insane. Also a story about someone that is surround by people but is very alone. Plus it will really mess with their minds. PAX, Robert +
