THE BROTHERS GRIMM
Well I knew I didn't REALLYwant to see it but it was OK I guess. I didn't know who or what the hell The Brothers Grimm are. But with all the fairy tale references, I made a pretty easy connection. I am not a big fan of fantasy or horror movies, so this just wasn't my bag. I got a little sleepy during the beginning so it may have thrown me off. It was like watching Van Helsing again, that blah blah blah mystery feel. Not really funny or entertaining but I still kept my eye on it. I did like the brother theme, if you don't have one then the movie doesn't feel real. Matt Damon and Heath Ledger did alright, but not as great as earlier performances from the two. So I suggest seeing it if you know what you are going to get, cause I didn't.

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
(aka, Michael Jackson and the Chocolate Factory) But seriously after watching this I'm convinced that Tim Burton should stick to his weird movies with misunderstood or odd characters and stay the hell away from re-making movies. Planet of the Apes sort of sucked and this one just can't beat the original Willy Wonka movie. It's like comparing the old Star Wars movies with the recent ones, it's hard to compare visual effects and acting because of the change in time. Johnny Depp was very..who gives a shit. The four young actors did very well in their parts. I liked how it stayed true to the book (even though I never read the book but I could tell the certain type of illustrations that have been used in Roald Dahl books was there) The changes this version had were very boring, it's not called Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory so I don't give a rat's ass about Wonka's childhood. The music by Danny Elfman really SUCKED, the movie would of been fine without the Oompa Loompa songs with all the different genres of music. Once again-Tim Burton, keep making your OWN shit, like Big Fish. Thank you
