As a rule, I have never walked out of/turned off a movie after I started it. I feel like the filmmaker deserves the benefit of the doubt right up to the final frame. That being said, I have never come CLOSER than I did with this film. I don't feel like going into it because it plain doesn't even deserve that much, but if you're really interested let me know and I'll post up some deeper analysis.

Hmm. I just read the extended plot. It sounds pretty awful!

Coraline (Henry Selick, 2009) -

The animation and look of the film is amazing, no doubt. However, I was quite bored with the story at times and that hurts. It is very bizarre, very strange, and very creepy. Too much so on all accounts for my liking. It wasn't bad, just not great. It was actually quite terrifying.

Rating: 2/4...#44 of 2009 so far

If I were tim burton I'd smack you ;D  More films should be creepy like that - it means they are good (Jim Henson's non-muppet 80's output for instance)

Dirty Work

Norm McDonald is funny.  There are some solid laughs here but nothing I'd care to revist again.

I've only liked Pee-Wee's, but I have wanted to see Ed Wood and Big Fish since I have not. Everything else I've seen directed by him I have not particularly enjoyed.
