Are you up to the test!?

I saw this film on Wednesday but I thought I could get in on the whole 'Halloween thing', which oddly enough every blog seems to be giving some kind of commentary on. I've had to avoid a few of the blogs I usually read because they are doing their own little Halloween post and I don't want to 'accidentally' steal any of their ideas. We all know how lazy I am.

Burton is a strange entity to me, I want to hate him, quite badly but I am unable to do so and here in his latest offering im still waiting for enough to base a life long hate upon.

It's a fairly straight forward tale which im sure I've read before somewhere, possibly in a short story, that has nice themes and wraps up well. To be honest it's a good movie, Depp works well with what he's got, Carter as the Bride is perfect and the movie moves along at a seamless pace with well placed humor and action scenes. There's some slightly annoying musical numbers but apart from that I can find nothing wrong with it.

Any attempt to accuse this of being some kind of rehash of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' would be foolish.

So I recommend you go along and see Corpse Bride this Halloween.

* Burton, im still keeping an eye on you, three strikes and you're out! You hear me!? Im going to let the Batman movies slide for my own reasons but Planet of the Apes is a major strike, two more Burton, just two more and god help you!
