    9 – Delusions of an Aftermath
    To say that we really haven’t seen enough of the themes explored in this film before would be wrong. We have. Apocalypse and what not. A group of unknown who-left-‘em-here’s. it is quite really the middle of nowhere. Your closest and most recent reference points are Wall-E, I am Legend etc.(I guess The Road is next) so you think in those terms. There is an overtly...

    090909 – Final Call for Sanity
    We had such potential… such promise… We have come a long long way indeed. Through all these weeks, realizing a dream I had for long. Actually a few of them. Tim Burton’s cinema. The Ever Enchanting World of B films, classic horror, Goth-Drama, Not-your-average-Animation, the work that goes behind a film that gets it’s inspiration from all these...

    9 Movie Review
    I have not seen any Tim Burton movie. Neither have I read anything about him or his movies. I know 9 is not made by Tim Burton, but by Shane Acker, but I find everyone around me talking about the film, the expectations, the outcome and most importantly: Tim Burton. I did not carry any expectations. I’ve always been a sucker for real emotions, and rarely have I pushed...

    Route “9″ to Sleepy Hollow
    It is not hard to feel like an outsider. I think we have all felt like that at one time or another.- Alan Cumming An outsider’s point of view is always handy.-Pat Oliphant Strip  away  the  Gothic  universe,  the  dark  undercurrents,  the  twisted up  characters,  the  nightmarish  visions,  at  the  core of  it, Burton  celebrates  the  outsider....

    1 in a 9 “Stitch Punks”
    In  a  not  too  distant  future,  where  humanity  has  been  decimated, by  the  very  same  war  machines  they had  devised. Just  before  his  death, a  wise  scientist  creates  9   rag  dolls,  and  transfers  his own soul into  them  using  his  invention.   And  the  new kid  on the  block “9″   seeks  out  the...

    The Bone Carnival Blues
    Gene Loomis: Y’know, it’s hard to believe you’re a grown-up. Ruth Corday: No kidding. Lawrence Woolsey: You think grown-ups have it all figured out? That’s just a hustle, kid. Grown-ups are making it up as they go along, just like you. You remember that, and you’ll do fine. – Joe...

    Maps from Beyond Dark Corners
    As to why one embarks on making a habit of alcohol consumption, I do suppose there are reasons. In the beginning you can pretty much get it down to a face or two- women, boss, co-workers, friends- sometimes all of it rolled up into one face fatale but as the months and years swim by, the reasons pretty much cease to matter. Or more accurately, they change. The pub, the...

    Edward Scissorhands-remember the images
    Peg Boggs: Oh, my. What happened to you? Edward: I’m not finished. EDWARD SCISSORHANDS is the kind of film that appeals to you at all times, whether you know the legends or not, whether you have any nostalgic connects or not. This 1990 film by TIM BURTON has a special Indian connection, given the advent of satellite channels and the multiple runs it had on TV....

The Machine Drawing exam in our second year of engineering, just by chance, happens to be the next day morning. And I’m sitting there watching Nicholson. Chewing. Digesting. Pulling it up again.

    Batman in Burtonland
    Gotham City & Batman are like an odd yet fated couple in a rewarding arrange marriage. Tied together by fate but probably not as bad as it looks on paper. It is when Alfred takes a tired, beaten Bruce Wayne home and we see him as a feeble man, who is vulnerable in relationships, lacking in moral fiber. And the next morning comes, and Bruce finds reassurance in Alfred’s...

    Tim Burton – The 9-letter Genius
    His name is made of exactly nine letters. For some those nine letters add up to ECCENTRIC. For the rest of us, the nine letters add up to INGENIOUS. Let’s just call him TIM BURTON. When you spell out those nine letters in that order with a pause after the first three letters, that is when you call out the name of Tim Burton, certain images are evoked in your mind....

    Dark World of Tim Burton-Big Fish
    If ever there was a Tim Burtonn movie, that was unlike Burton, it had to be Big Fish. Where Burton’s earlier movies were dark, brooding and featured a conflicted hero, Big Fish was more personal and more emotional. When i was a kid, i spent a lot of time with my grandmother . Curled up beside her, she would regale me with stories of great leaders, mythological characters,...

    Dark World of Tim Burton-Sleepy Hollow
    With Sleepy Hollow, Tim Burton was back again, in his familiar dark, horror territory. Based on the short story by Washington Irving, who created the other famous American character, Rip Van Winkle, Sleepy Hollow, was Burton’s homage to Hammer Movies, who produced those memorable horror flicks during 60’s and 70’s. Right from it’s basic theme...

    The Dark World of Tim Burton-V
    In the last post, i had discussed about Tim Burton’s homage to the B Movie genre with Ed Wood. Tim Burton continued his homage to the B movie genre with Mars Attacks, a spoof on the B movie sci fi stuff, which Burton grew up on. If in Ed Wood, he paid a tribute to his idol, in Mars Attacks, he bases his story on the popular trading card series. What are trading...

    The Dark World of Tim Burton-III
    This is the 3rd in my series on Tim Burton’s movies. For earlier posts check here and here. This post is primarily to take a look at Burton’s landmark 1993 movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, which was done using a stop motion effect. What is Stop Motion Effect? The basic concept of Stop Motion effect is to give the appearance of an object moving on it’s...

    The Dark World of Tim Burton- I
    My first Tim Burton movie was Batman, way back in 1990. I was just around 20 and watched it in on the screen, and was totally blown away by the dark, brooding atmosphere of the movie, the action pieces and of course Jack Nicholson’s manic performance as The Joker. Couple of days later i again caught another Tim Burton movie Beetlejuice in the theater, and just...

    Heroes in the Dark- The Dark Knight!
    It amazed me no end that someone would try a equivalent of professional hara-kiri by redoing any film of Tim Burton. But Nolan did and gave such a fresh breath to the franchise with Batman Begins that The Dark Knight was the most anticipated film of the year!! He began with elan, is making merry with the knight and the journey has just begun. And I am being extremely balanced...
