Heavy Metal (1981)

For the quality of the animation and the "B-17" story, I rate this 7/10. Lord knows nothing else from the film warrants such a rating -- especially not that dumbshit story with the aliens snorting space coke.

Frankenweenie (1984) - 6.5/10

Frankenweenie (2012)

It's funny. While I dislike or am indifferent to most of Burton's live-action films -- Batman '89 being the only real exception, and even it has serious issues -- I've found his stop-motion films enjoyable. I don't know why that is -- perhaps his idiosyncrasies just work better in stop-motion than live-action for me.

Anyway, needless to say, I enjoyed this film -- I especially like that the science teacher was patterned to look like Vincent Price. I think the ending feel a bit flat though. IMO, the dog

should have stayed dead at the end of the movie; it would have made for a stronger, more poignant ending.

8.4/10

Star Wreck: Lost Contact (1997) - 5/10

Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning (2005) - 8/10

The Haunted Mansion (2003)

The unlikable kids and the saccharine ending do their best to ruin this movie, but Terence Stamp's performance and Rick Baker's zombie effects manage to save it -- barely.

That stupid scene where Stamp gets dragged down into Hell in ludicrous, over-the-top-of-the-top fashion will continue to haunt my nightmares, though.

6/10

The Fugitive (1993) - 7.4/10
