The Kimo's

In light of Tim Burton's newly released Alice in Wonderland and The Oscar's I decided to host my own award ceremony for Tim Burton's films. I'm calling the ceremony The Kimo Awards (kimo happens to be the last four letters of my most popular nickname).

I cannot post my nominees just yet, for I have yet to see Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. However, I plan on watching it tomorrow and then I will shortly post my nominees for Best Performance in a TB Film in a Leading Role, Best Performance in a TB Film in a Supporting Role, Best Score in a TB Film, Best Art Direction of a TB Film, Best Sound in a TB Film, Best Editing, Best Costumes, and Best Special Effects.

To keep things simple I'm only going to nominate five for each section, then I will view all and post my results.

Because The Nightmare Before Christmas is directed by Henry Selick and not Tim Burton, it will, sadly, not be included.

Other than that, all of the 14 films Burton has directed will be included, those films are:

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985)

Beetlejuice (1988)

Batman (1989)

Edward Scissorhands (1990)

Batman Returns (1992)

Ed Wood (1994)

Mars Attacks! (1996)

Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Planet of the Apes (2001)

Big Fish (2003)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

Corpse Bride (2005)

Sweeney Todd (2007)

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Because of my busy schedule, 14 full-length movies is quite an undertaking. Therefore, the actual posting of the winners may be a while. But, it makes a lovely excuse to go through my Tim Burton collection!

Alice in Wonderland

I had the opportunity to view Tim Burton's latest film: Alice in Wonderland.

The film was visually beautiful. Wonderland was so detailed and was stunning to watch.

The acting is superb on every level. Johnny Depp plays the Hatter to perfection, bringing new light to the character and humanizing the Hatter to perfection.

Mia Wasikowska is a charming Alice. She was very imaginative, and yet, very internalized. It is marvelous to watch the character struggle with her identity.

Helena Bonham Carter stole every scene she was in. She plays the over-the-top Red Queen perfectly. She could not have been better cast.

Also, note goes out to Anne Hathaway, who had a somewhat under-developed role and still made a completely real character.

It is great to see a Tim Burton film. I have yet to be disappointed with him.

My rating: [4/5]
