Wednesday (2022-)

Wednesday Addams is sent to Nevermore Academy - her parents' school - as punishment for dangerous activities.

"Wednesday" is a horror comedy series with gothic accents, a Tim Burton make, based on the characters from the Addams Family. Jenny Ortega's Wednesday is faithful to the original material, adding some personal charm and improvisation that must be fully appreciated. The style is characteristic of Burton, in a comeback that deserves to be mentioned and applauded. The plot is quite rich and the whodunnit captures the attention it deserves. The only disappointment is probably the parents, with few scenes, a bit monotonous dialogue, which pales when compared to the memory of the portrayal of Angelica Huston and Raoul Julia, unfortunately. Not by any of the actors' fault, just the writing.

Alice In Wonderland (2010)

Multe, prea multe asteptari. Multe pe care le-am si pomenit pana acum. Dar... they fail to deliver. Prima ar fi Alice in Wonderland.

Filmele lui Tim Burton vor insemna mereu ceva special pentru mine, cu stangaciile si farmecul lor gothic si dulce si amestecul nevinovatului printre pericolele amenintatoare ale supranaturalului generator de fiori si mai ales ale naturii umane. Dar undeva in drumul asta spre mult asteptata recunoastere s-a intamplat ceva, s-a pierdut ceva, la o prima vedere s-a pierdut autenticul si insufletirea. Poate pe introvertitul Tim l-a speriat atentia brusca si si-a pierdut marea putere de exprimare prin imagini si miscare. Poate s-a conformat prea mult. Poate a recurs la prea multe efecte speciale. Unde e stangacia? Nu am vazut decat ceva pigulit la milimetru, foarte plastic si impresionant vizual, dar tot ce insemna un film Tim Burton nu am regasit. Ah. Si the Red  Queen...extrem de nereusita, oricat de mult mi-ar place Helena Bonham-Carter. Regina umilului Alice pentru tv din 1999 era net superioara (bine, era si vorba de Miranda Richardson). So, sadly, inca declar ca astept sa regasesc aceeasi reactie la un film viitor. I still have faith.

Cel putin Tarantino n-ar trebui sa dea gres. Am mari asteptari si de la Tim Burton ca deh - regizorul meu preferat - desi ultimile sale realizari nu s-au ridicat la nivelul asteptat... de mine cel putin. But he's still my no1.(si ca paranteza - ghici cine e Palarierul cel Nebun)
