Here Comes the Bride
September 25th, 2005 . by Jilly
Last night Jason and I saw the movie the Corpse Bride. Tim Burton has made another dark, beautiful movie. It’s a stop-motion, animated feature. Their use of color is interesting. The animation is awesome, especially the faces of the characters. Danny Elfman did the soundtrack (big surprise) and supplied the voice of the jazz singer in the skeleton band in the underworld bar.
Timid Victor (Johnny Depp) is supposed to marry the sweet Victoria (Emily Watson). The night before their wedding, Victor accidentally marries the Corpse Bride (Helen Bonham-Carter). He is taken down to the underworld. This movie is so good. The characters are interesting. The story is a romantic one. This is classic Tim Burton.
And the best part was we got to see it for free! Right now at Albertsons when you buy $25 of groceries of certain brands (like Kraft, Frito-Lay, Coca-cola), you get 2 free movie tickets. You redeem your tickets through Fandango.
so which one do you like better: Corpse Bride or The Nightmare Before Christmas?
from what I hear from people who saw the movie, they loved Corpse Bride, but Nightmare was still better. I have yet to see Corpse Bride, but I love Tim Burton and Nightmare is one of my favorite musicals of all time.
I’m sure I’ll love this one, too.
Actually, I’ve never seen Nightmare before Christmas. Even though we own it.
No you didn’t!
you people are so strange.
please tell me that AT LEAST jason has seen it. he OWNS it for goodness sakes!
i went to see this movie last night. Although its very beautiful its no Nightmare. The biggest problem with the movie I think is that we’ve seen Tim do this before. It was groundbreaking the first time around but with nothing new added to the mix it fails to make an impression. I recomend the movie but dont expect to watch it more than once.
I will say one thing for the movie, Danny Elfman did an amazing job. The mosic is brilliant. It dances alongside the magic cinematography crafting a backdrop to the film that helps you forget that you’ve seen the movie before.
6 out of 10
mosic?
Yes thats what I meant mosic, after all that is what Danny Elfman is known for composing mosic. You know if we’re going to start pointing out grammar errors I can only say “let he who is without sin, cast the first stone”. So any takers? Anyone? Come on, anyone at all?
PS. Wink, Wink
I was trying (?) to be funny. You wrote that comment while sitting in my living room. I was trying to be sneaky. I wrote that from Jason’s computer in the office, a few minutes later.
Sorry I didnt see it untill today. I know you were being funny and I was trying to do the same, but I think I failed. I didnt mean to come off mean. Didnt you see the wink, wink part.
You didn’t come off mean. I was trying to be funny, too. : )
Funny - mean - snob - punk - mean - funny - winkining - chinking so very very confused. Acid in the head acid in the head, brain leaking out of ear.
