L.A. Story (1991)

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

If confusion about your love life is ruining your day, I think it’s good to go over to your best friend’s house and ruin her day, too.

L.A. Story is a film dedicated to the premise that the city’s reputation as a haven for free-spirited oddballs is actually understated. It also looks under the well-buffed exterior of the so-called “beautiful people” and finds layers of desperation and loneliness below the insecurity we already knew was there. This Los Angeles is a place where a woman’s breasts feel odd if they’re real.

Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride (2005)

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

As if that has anything to do with marriage. Do you suppose your father and I like each other?

The visual imagination of Tim Burton is probably unequalled among today’s filmmakers and when he brings it to bear on a project suited to his particular talents, the results are almost always unique and special. Corpse Bride, like Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas, is an example of Burton playing on his home turf and swinging for the fences.
