Review: Alice In Wonderland 3D

Stop me if you've heard this one before. A literary adaptation by Tim Burton, set in a twisted, multi-coloured alternate universe, starring Johnny Depp as a borderline weirdo and Helena Bonham Carter as a loud-mouthed, pasty-faced kook. Sound familiar?

Tim Burton jumps on the vampwagon

Tim Burton has his next film lined up after the release of Alice In Wonderland…and it's about vampires. Of course it is. Why would anyone want to make a film about anything else?

Depp to jump ship on Pirates 4?

Johnny Depp looks set to say 'yo ho...no' to the proposed fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie after news that Disney Chairman Dick Cook has had to stand down/been fired/been made to walk the plank. More forced pirate-related metaphors after the jump.

Review: Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

The original Pirates of the Caribbean was a true gem back in 2003; a movie based on a Disney themepark ride ended up being the big attraction of the summer, the humungous box office takings clearing the waters for not one, but two sequels. Its success was in no small part down to one Jonathan Depp III as Jack… sorry, Captain Ja...

Review: Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

You won’t have to hunt long and hard to find a bigger Tim Burton fan than me. The man’s had his moments, yes, but when I look at his goofy face, his intentionally wacky haircut and those unavoidable goth overtones, a switch inside me just flips to ‘not bothered’ (it’s like, Tim, you already pulled that pasty-faced Bonham-Carter...
