Tim Burtons's new movie

malibu by malibuOG 2001 · Dec 15, 2003 · 374 views

you can go see the trailer here: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/bigfish/site/index.php

YOU MUST WATCH THE TRAILER!!

i ereased everything else so as to write the review, but i'm leaving the trailer up there for everyone. so we went into the city to see it. sitting next to this guy that i don't even know but both of us are just jumping in our seats becasue we're so excited. the theater darkens and then ZOOOOOOOM!!!! it was all over soooo fast. (cuz it was so stinking good!!!!)

all the actors are simply amazing. i thought the accents would be annoying after a while. the tales just so perfectly crafted and they all make sense. the best is the witch's tale that carries through the whole story. all the special effects are stunning. such a great movie. i'm gonna go see it again when it comes out in all the theaters.

one thing wrong. maybe they filled in the gaps more in the book but, in the end part of the moive (i don't think i'm ruining anything) the son is trying to discover what part of the tales are true and parts that are made up. but they never really go into it that much. they only say a little bit but i kinda wanted to know a tad bit more about the real life. but b3eyond that, everything was all good.

afterwards my dad was like, "oh so should i start telling tall tales now?" and i said, "yeah do." so then he told me of the time he shaved his head and some other stories. this movie just jump-starts your imagination and just makes everything so happy because of all the beautiful colors in the story and how happy and fufilled you come outta the theater feeling. i completely reccommend going to see it!! A FANTASTIC MOVIE!!!

he's also remaking Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!! Johnny Depp is supposed to star as Willy.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 funny

hahah those are your peers! because you can also go to discovery zone and still fit inside the jungle gym!

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003

if u weren't my best friend.. we wouldn't be best friends any more

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

unfortunately, you're locked into a contract until 2006. perhaps you should visit a lawyer.

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003

woah woah woah... what happened to "thursday, october 29th, 2005" u can't go changing the dates! i already have another best friend lined up for October 30, 2005

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

well, you took advantage of the special "dan drives to JFK airport" promotion, which automatically extends your contract. I'm sorry.

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 skaorsk8

o man.. if only i had known that before... haha DAn remember
Nick- "Kennedy Airport- this way"
Mel- "but we're not going there! ....... o wait.. yes we are..."
who would have though JFK and Kennedy were the same thing!? o bolly!

tinser tinserOG 2002 yodasucka

i used to think that the lyrics from we didn't start the fire, "jfk blown away", meant the airport, not the president....don't feel bad mel!

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 tinser
