caught most of sleepy hollow last night, the last burton i have real fondness for. seems unfairly slighted, i've seen it grouped in passing w/ truly terrible burton like wonka or alice. i'm not sure if it's due to the somewhat poor script or it being the moment ppl realized christina ricci isn't much of an actress, but it looks fantastic, there's a fun embrace of darkness and gore, and there are enough moments that feel like it was made by the same guy who did pee wee's big adventure and beetlejuice. depp is alright in it, he lapses into cute mannerisms but there's some actual acting as well. i'd take it over anything listed above as well as pirates.

The best film probably won, though I guess you can't really credit it's greatness to Depp. (He is good in it, though.)

otm. easily burton's best looking film, w/ much of the credit likely due to emmanuel lubezki.

"Transcendence" is the worst movie I've seen in a while, simultaneously super-dumb and super-self-important. Not even fun, just a glum lump of a movie with terrible acting from Depp and Rebecca Hall.

Looks like nothing new but well done:

Wasn't keen on Out Of The Furnace but at least there are no Afflecks in this one. Kind of looking forward to it, but have been disappointed by recent critically acclaimed Boston Crime movies, they don't make 'em like Eddie Coyle any more!
