Season for Cinema

I love when any of my favorite directors come out with a new film. There's a couple coming this winter, some that I've already talked about like Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are or Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. But I came across a few more that I'm really excited for.

From the director of Napoleon Dynamite comes Gentlemen Broncos co-starring Jermaine from Flight of the Concords. It looks totally awesome!! Same kind of off-beat dry sense of humor that I love.



Then there's Lars Von Trier's new creation Anti-Christ. I love studying Lars' past work, especially when he mastered Dogma 95 films, using only available light and mostly improv acting. He's a genius of his craft and now with Anti-Christ he seems to be digging deeper into what's scares humankind. I love a good scary flick, so hopefully Lars terrifies us all with this one.



To lighten things up I'll also touch upon Wes Anderson's new baby, Fantastic Mr. Fox, based on the childhood storybooks. This is Wes' first go at animation. What's great is all his acting clan are in it playing voices. This looks like so much fun for children as well as for adults. I can't wait to see what Wes has in store for us.



It looks to be a great upcoming season for cinema. Bring it on!

Tim's Glorious Creations

Tim Burton is the cinematic mastermind behind such films as Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow, Ed Wood, Big Fish, and the newest installment Alice in Wonderland. He is such a creative genius. He always relies on the same cast to pull off the roles he's needing to fill. The brilliant Johnny Depp and Tim's wife Helena Bonham Carter are among his choices. He creates such amazing fantasy worlds. The stills from the newest piece, Alice in Wonderland, look so creepy and memorizing. It's going to be such an adventure to see on the big screen- I can't wait! It brings back the idea of creepy is good and scaring you children at a young age is harmless. It brings back memories of seeing Labyrinth for the first time and being scared out of my mind, but then immediately wanting to watch it again. Thanks Tim for bringing back the childlike fantasy adventures that make filmmaking so breathtaking and memorable. A trailer has not been released yet, but here are some of the stills that give you a good idea.
