the nightmare before christmas
so i rented that dvd out of curiosity, and because i had nothing to do. but sad to say, i fear the merchandise is far more interesting than the movie.
what a lousy film. i might as well have wached ace ventura. thats FAR better than jack skellington and the atrocious songs in the film. rather disappointing from tim burton actually, since i quite enjoyed corpse bride. lousy is an understatement when it comes to the songs. pardon me for being raised on a movie diet of disney films (which my mother deemed as being un-demonic enough for her beloved daughter to watch) that i know quality music and animation. the animation is superbly cute, i wont deny that, in TNBC. but storyline is just rubbish. this attempt to be quirky just SCREAMS "weird". its just ridiculous. stay fAR FAR away from TNBC. but if you like the merchandise, which i think is cute, go on. have some. i had a wallet. but the movie...UGH. sheer nonsense.
and the next movie on my movie bashing list, MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA. in my humle opinion, the movie reeked of bitchiness among women. somewhat a geisha version of MEAN GIRLS. why dont you just call it MEAN GEISHAS? and the whole "i'm so sorry, i cant speak english in this movie without giving it a stupid accent since its a second language and even if i did know how to speak it properly the director wants me to speak it like this because he thinks this is how asians speak english and so i speak it like this" act really gets old. ugh.
SIMONE! what a refreshing film. and BILLY "I wanna be a ballet dancer" ELLIOT is really good.
thats all
