The video above was directed by Tim Burton who is close to the band The Killers.

Movies and Entertainment; Part two: The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite movie by Tim Burton. In my opinion the film went a completely different way from every other Disney Movie. This movie is about Jack the Pumkin King who lives in Halloween Town and is respected by everyone, but he feels saddened that he goes through the same things every year. Scares just werent what he wanted anymore he wanted more. Jack with his dog zero stumbled on a forest with different holidays for doors. He went through the christmas door and came across Christmas town. The other holidays have no idea of eachother and from this scene in the movie comes the famous song “Whats This?” “Whats this? Whats this? There's color everywhere What's this?There's white things in the air What's this? I can't believe my eyes I must be dreaming Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair What's this?” Which are just a few short lyrics from the song that many bands have played from the movie. The lyrics were provided by lyricsbox.com. Above is a video of the song "What Is This?"Burton sees Santa in this town and decides that his town should also celebrate this holiday in fact he should be Santa this year not Jack the Pumkin King. Jack kidnaps Santa with the help of three children and then Oogie takes Santa from them. Jacks plans terribly go wrong and Santa is rescued from Oogie by Jack and Sally (his love interest in the film) and the holiday is saved at the last minute. Jack learns that he should stick to his holiday and his town but could still celebrate Christmas with his town. This Is just my short  summary of the movie in my perspective.

Movies and Entertainment; Part one:

Many of Tim Burtons movies are shown on television all the time today. A few of his more famous movies are Mars Attacks, the Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, and Batman. Tim Burtons child hero was quoted of saying "There is a wonderful cartoon madness in his work, a kind of madness that doesnt exist anymore in film." -For Tim Burton, This ones Personal by Nina J. Easton The Los Angeles Times 1990. In many of Burtons movies famous actors lined up to be the lead role, but Johnny Depp is almost always Burtons pick. Burton has a select few cast that he keeps in his movies. His wife being one of them along with Johnny Depp. Many of Burtons movies made it to theaters and became huge hits but some were never made. One of which was Lost In Oz, but Burton left the project to make a full series. Burtons earliest known movie is The Island of Doctor Agor. –The Tim Burton Collective.  Burton made movies at the young age of thirteen. Most of Tim Burtons early movies were unseen to the public. Burton has directed and produced many films many people don’t realize. Tim Burton loved to produce and direct “cheapo films” as says the tim burton collective webiste. Tim Burton never really fit into Disneys productions, but while he was working on Disney movies he was doing private projects as well. One of these was a poem that came to be known as the famous movie The Nightmare Before Chrsitmas.  

Tim Burtons Life; Reflection:

Tim Burtons life isnt as usual as most peoples. As a child he didn’t do well in school and wasn’t much of a people person.  He was most interested in arts as a child things such as movies, drawing, and painting.  Vincent Price was Burtons childhood hero. He was obsessed with scary movies and monster movies such as Frankenstein. After Burton began making movies Vincent played as an actor in his animated short  Frankenweenie. I cant  imagine having a childhood hero and have him appear in a movie I created as an adult. Im sure Tim Burtonwas ecstatic about the whole sittuation. Burton has made many succesful films in his life time and is still continuing to make more films. Burton had his son Billy in October of 2003 and Burton slowed down on his movie carrer as well did his wife Helena Carter with her acting carrer. A few short years later he began making films again and eager fans wait had ended. Frankenweenie was a film that was rare to find on vhs tapes and only came out in theaters over seas. Now Frankenweenie is being made into a film in the United States by Disney. Im sure Tim Burton is hoping for as good as a turn out as he received for Alice In Wonderland 3D. Burton turned out billions of dollars in this movie. Although Burton has slowed down on his movie making he has yet to stop with two movies coming out this year.

Tim Burtons Life; Part three

It was rumored that Tim Burton was going to take time off from his movie making and art work.  Which he did it was a few years before he began to start making movies again before Alice In Wonderland. Now Tim Burton is in the works of more films. The films will include his actor and friend Johnny Depp as well.  One of his movies coming out is about Edgar Allen Poes poem “The Raven” which fits well with Tim Burtons dark style that he uses in movies. Another movie coming out is one of a vampire coming back from being buried and he is in the 21^st century and terribly confused. The lead is Johnny Depp. Tim Burton as a child led a life that most children do not. Most enjoy being around people and enjoying school. Mr. Burton has a unique style from most as you can tell if you have viewed any of his artwork or watched any of his own films. Tim Burton has left his mark on many of the younger generation viewers. All though all ages love his work and unique style. Burton continues to stay with his family and spend time with them while he makes his movies as you can see in the picture above. The information about his new films was provided by yahoo trailers.

Tim Burton's life; Part two:

In 2003 Burton had a child with Helena Carter he was named Billy.  After Billy was born Burton began to work on a project that was much different from his other films. Big Fish was one of the most emotional movies that Tim Burton had ever made. It connected with Tim personally; it was about a man trying to reconnect with his dying father. This movie earned great reviews from critics. In 2005 Burton began to direct back to back movies. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was his first. This film was one of the most successful blockbusters of its year. Two months later Tim Burton’s animated movie Corpse Bride was released. This movie was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature.  Burtons next film was a musical called Sweeney Todd, which was a very graphic film, something Tim Burton had never worked on. This movie was released in December 2007. Tim Burton then produced the animated movie 9 which was released on September 9, 2009. In 2010 he released Alice In Wonderland in 3D which wasn’t a remake of the Disney movie but a sequel. This movie grossed over a billion dollars worldwide, perhaps one of Burton’s most successful movies. Tim has created several more successful films and art and is still to create more great films.   -Tim Burton Collective
