Nadja, a review by goodguy

Nadja (1994)-

Cover blurb:

I know too little about the genre, but it seems that in the '90s, vampire movies entered the arthouse cinema, and some even in glorious black and white. The best known is probably Abel Ferrara's The Addiction, a philosophical meditation with then indie icon Lili Taylor as the lead.

Corpse Bride, a review by Danae Cassandra

Corpse Bride

Year of Release:  2005
Directed By:  Tim Burton
Starring:  Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Emily Watson
Rating:  PG

Overview:Tim Burton's Corpse Bride carries on in the dark, romantic tradition of his classic Edward Scissorhands and Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before ChristmasMy Thoughts:
I love this film and I try to watch it every October.  I love the dark, Gothic atmosphere, the colorful view of the afterlife, the wonderful stop-motion animation, and all of the homages and references to other films that one catches on repeated viewing.  While the story is pretty simple and straightforward, the great character designs and their exquisite animation, good voice acting, and all the little details really make this an inventive, fun movie to watch.  Recommended for anyone except very small children and people who hate Tim Burton.

Bechdel Test:  Fail

Overall:  4/5

When Angel and Spike try to help a young woman who escaped from an asylum, they discover she's actually a potential slayer empowered by the spell Willow cast back at the Hellmouth in Sunnydale.

Guest Stars:
Tom Lenk
Navi Rawat
Jasmine Di Angelo

My Thoughts:
Andrew from Buffy the Vampire Slayer was in this episode. I swear he always aggravated me on that show!  Is a good episode that I enjoyed quite a bit. I like how they continued a storyline from the last season of Buffy... updating us on some of the main characters of that series a little.

My Rating:
