#86. I hate to say this, but Mars Attacks! the last Tim Burton movie I really liked.  Even though it’s flawed, it still had a love for the cheesy sci-fi flicks that entertained me.  However, coming after Ed Wood it was somewhat of a disappointment.  But the big disappointment came afterwards, namely just about every film he has made since.  And believe me, I really wanted to like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland and even Planet of the Apes.  But like Rob Reiner, he seems to have run out of interesting movies early in his career.

Even more than the movie Mars Attacks!, I loved the merchandising.  Couldn’t get enough of it.   I don’t wear this shirt too often, as I don’t like the collar.  But I do still love the look of the alien.

I hope he does right with Frankenweenie.  The original short was perfect, so I don’t know what more he has to bring to the table by making it a full length feature.
