Dark Shadows by Tim Burton

One movie a day

Dark Shadows by Tim Burton

The Collins family leaves England to settle in America and start a new life. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Twenty years pass and Barnabas has everyone in Collinsport at his feet. He is an inveterate seducer..... until he makes the mistake of breaking the heart of the witch Angelique Bouchard.


Every family has its demons....


This movie is a port on the big screen of the 1960's gothic series "Dark Shadows". This is not the Burton's great days, but Dark Shadows is a nice film. In fact, the story and the characters give Burton a simple recipe and he doesn't take risks. Johnny Depp and Eva Green with her toothy smile are very good in their roles. In the same delusion as the Adams Family, Dark Shadows will make you laugh with some good scenes. You can also see some nice costumes and beautiful dark scenery.

Snow Angels

one movie a day

Snow Angels

why I loved it !

Snow Angels is a terrifying story about a couple in disarray. Beckinsale's and Rockwell's characters deal with a dramatic situation both in a different way. One tries to forget, the other to find the reason behind this tragedy. It's masterfully played by the cast and it gives to the movie it's depth and uneasy feeling when the characters are at their lowest moments.
