""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. "

"One of my first “real” concert-going experiences (no offense, Power Station!) was witnessing U2 at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia during its “Joshua Tree” tour.Even though lead singer Bono was hobbled in an arm sling, the experience led to a passionate love affair with concert-going. I had since caught the band on two more occasions, but as their popularity (and egos) exploded, so did their stage shows. Their music and its messages (and U2 is nothing if not a band interested in sharing its beliefs to the masses) were consumed in a spectacle grand enough to embarrass a Cirque du Soleil clown.So after multiple attempts in trying to recapture that initial magical evening, I walked away from subsequent U2 concerts and I still hadn’t found what I was looking for.After witnessing “U23D,” now playing at the Dover Mall, all is forgiven.The film allowed me to experience the band in ways that could not have been replicated even with backstage passes &nd ...

"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! "

"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 togeth "

"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 ... "

"The (somewhat) new teaser trailer to Henry Selick’s Coraline begins with a command to put on your 3D glasses. This does you no good watching the thing in Flash (via Cineplex), so I’ve provided a special look at the trailer above (plus, it’s the only copy I could find on YouTube). It obviously appears to have been caught in a theater with a video camera, but I also think the bootlegger put his 3D glasses over the camera’s lens. I know, it’s difficult to tell, and I’m not even positive that would work, but to me it looks like some of the scenes have that extra depth. Of course, it could just be a 3D screen without the glasses. One shot seems especially blurry and comprised of a double image, which is kinda how a digital 3D image looks when you take off the glasses. Unfortunately, I’ve misplaced my own Real D frames and can’t test them out to see if they’d work with my computer screen (I’ll assume they don’t). Okay, now that my head hurts a bit, le "

"Did anyone other than myself see this movie the opening week it? It was about 1993, right, I was about 11 years old. The film starts with a short narrator intoducing the doors to the holidays, than we go into the Halloween door. In there we are treated to a musical introduction to all the characters. Now this is the moment I have never forgotten and no one else know what I am talking about.During this musical introduction the clown has a verse where he mentions his 'tear away face' and at the moment he takes his face off. Underneeth is bundle of snakes and bugs. I saw the film a second time about 2 weeks later(i really enjoyed it) and the snakes and bugs had been replaced with nothing. There was just black space. I remember it was cheap black space at that time. A crude blotting out. Currently, when you watch the same scene the black space has been given form and shadows to appear as if the head is empty. If anyone has seen the snakes and bugs please let me know I am not ... "
