Trailer for The Shining as romantic comedy
Trailer for West Side Story as horror.
The Parent Trap as lesbian love story (Click on Paul LaCalandra, then Ordinary Girls).
(Thanks to Making Light, as always).
...Dangit. I think I just had Serenity spoiled for me.
( Thoughts on Corpse Bride )
It does occur to me that my standards have gotten way too high, and that too many media analysis classes have had a stifling effect on me. So I'll just say, yes, it's a movie that does work at a number of levels. But, if it had just followed its own implications through, it could have been a very nearly perfect movie.
(I keep getting excited about Tim Burton movies, and for me they generally fall into that category--a couple of bad missteps away from being very nearly perfect).
