Tim Burton, the Mastermind Pt. 2: Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!!!
Tim Burton didn't write this fantastically entertaining story, but he did direct it into a major motion picture. This movie is the best! What a fantastic use of irony. There's this couple...They live the most normal of normal lives you could. Just simple, they have a plain little house, a plain little car, and a plain little scale model of the town in the attic.
Little did they know that given some upcoming events, they will soon have a creepy nasty little man by the name of Beetlejuice living in their tiny model town.
Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis do a wonderful job at attempting to scare the crap out of their new tennants but aren't really too successful at first...at least, not until they get the help of Beetlejuice that is. Michael Keaton is a genius. And I love Winona Ryder I think even more than in Edward Scissorhands.
What a I love about this movie the most is the fact that there's this plain little couple with their plain little lives which they do live to their fullest extent, and once their done, that's when the real insanity begins. Come on, handbook for the deceased? the after life waiting room? the guy with the shrunken head? It definitely is yet another masterpiece from our beloved Tim Burton.
A+

Tim Burton, the Mastermind Pt. 1: The Nightmare Before Christmas

Tim Burton...phenominal director, phenominal producer, phenominal writer, phenominal...self? He's amazing. How many more greats could he give us? The above mentioned, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hallow, Batman, Batman Returns, Planet of the Apes, and my absolute favorite kids movie, James and the Giant Peach. Wonderful.
The thing most coveted about Tim Burton, I think, is his style. He has one of the most creative minds of our time and that allows him to give us films like The Nightmare Before Christmas. Its the best example of how he can think up such grotesque and demented looking characters and scenes, but with the help of Danny Elfman's genius composer work, funny and creative dialogue, and character development itself, he portrays all of his film's oddities in a totally ordinary and almost endearing manner.
His level of creativity as a film maker, as an artist, is even more apparent because his films really stand the test of time. Look at Edward Scissorhands. It came out in 1990...seems like not too long ago but that's nearly 20 years. I don't know one person who hasn't seen it and loved it. The same goes for Nightmare. Everyone I knew as a kid loved it, and everyone I know now loves it.
If only I had an ounce of his genius.
A+ of course.
