Tim Burton's Corpse Bride

This Halloween flick is sure to have all the family laughing. Reminiscent of The Nightmare Before Christmas/James and the Giant Peach, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride is a great film with delightful stop animation. We start out in a tinker town and make our way to a Victorian mansion. Victor Van Dort (Johnny Depp) is to marry Victoria (Emily Watson), but their plans are foiled by the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter). Now Victor is faced with the choice between the exciting land of the (un)dead with his vows to an insistent woman whose flesh is half off and the land of the living where his true love remains.

Popeye

All I can say for certain is that Robin Williams definitely knows how to make a voice impression. This is certainly the best Popeye film out there. It outranks even the cartoons in my opinion. Who couldn't love this spinach-stomaching, Olive Oyl enamored, Bluto-beating fellow? Rated PG (obviously for the caroonish violence), no other PG film can compare. This is "the sailor man" at his best, in a full color, live action, feature film. Now eat your spinach. By the way, who could have played a better Olive Oyl than Shelley Duvall? None other to be sure. A double dose of spinach for her as well.

Happy Feet

Happy Feet is perhaps one of the best animated films I have ever seen. Not only were the graphics amazing, but the story is captivating, the music in exquisite, and the actors all very professional, creative, and entertaining. If you have children in your home, I implore you to get this film! It is absolutely astounding. Hats off to the musicians, the actors, the producers, the artists, and anyone involved in the creation of this project. It will no doubt be a long-lasting and pleasant memory for all.

This film is rated PG
