I just had to comment after reading some of your reviews. It makes me sick to my stomach to think you rate shutter island and alice in wonderland in the same ranking of 3 1/2 stars. Die hard fans of alice in wonderland or the fantasy genre may be able to make that argument but you must see the holes in your logic as a critic. Alice in Wonderland was basically a perfect test for how easily 3D and special effects can skew an audience into liking something with no substance.

Shutter Island was a mind fuck on a mind fuck. It did fall short if you were expecting a hollywood ending or even a loose ending.. but it did the job it came to do beautifully.

You also rate The Losers a 4/5? The movie was a cliche mess of every movie we have seen on the type in the last 10 years. It had its moments but certainly deserves only the credit of a well executed mash up. If that is your thing, go ahead and enjoy, as I can say I enjoyed it. But 4 out of 5 stars for something mildly witty and cloned just shows how easily you and others can be pleased into sacrificing your cash.

Just a correction, Shane. Ed Wood was a disappointment? I think you’re in the minority there, buddy. I don’t think there is a better tribute movie ever released than Ed Wood; it was an Edward D. Wood Jr. drama shot by Edward D. Wood Jr. It was possibly the only Tim Burton movie that truly matured outside Tim’s Goth boy fetish and became a true biography film. For once, he left behind his own quirks and personal demons to write about someone other than Tim. Perhaps someone he idolized on some perverse level.

Tim has had some hits and misses since then, but Ed Wood was definitely his career highlight. Not only my favorite Tim Burton movie but one of the best Hollywood biopics ever.

As for the Batman comment, hell…I would have agreed with you back in 2000. But Christopher Nolan, much to my shame I admit, has matured beyond Burton in his ability to mix crime drama emotion with comic book style action.

Come on now…some of the scenes in The Dark Knight and Batman Begins are Scorsese quality. Baby Scorsese maybe, but they make the age old Batman story come to life in a way we’ve never seen off of the page. The only way to make a good comic book film is to make it happen in the real world, not to spend millions recreating a world we already know.

Dialog and plotting have always been Burton’s downfall. I hope to see a mature Burton in Alice and Wonderland…I guess I’ll wait and see.
