The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

Sometimes the muppets are very good but, unfortunately, this isn't one of those times. The storyline has been changed too much: Dorothy is now searching to start her singing career and Toto has become a talking prawn with attitude. I had to fast-forward through the songs. Bunsen and Beaker make an appearance, they're always good.

Stalker

Err... What was that again? I know there is something called The Zone. I know the main characters are journeying towards a special room within The Zone. Pretty much everything else is hazy: why they are going there, what will happen when they get there, and so on. Interesting use of black & white and colour film to show different aspects of the world.

Burton on Burton, Mark Salisbury

Interesting to read some of the background behind the films I enjoy and the one where I almost left the cinema. It reminded me quite how many films he's been involved with. It's surprising how long some of the film ideas have been around before they came to fruition.
