I’m not a Tim Burton fan. As in I’ve so far enjoyed watching a total of 4 of his films: Batman, Batman Returns, Big Fish (my absolute favorite among them all) and Edward Scissorhands. Burton typically goes too cartoon-like- to the point where his humor and the relatability of the characters get lost on me.

Loving only half of Johnny Depp movies (the ones I don’t like are often directed by Tim Burton- the dude does wear pretty much anything Tim Burton gives him), I wasn’t all that excited about Dark Shadows…That was until I watched the hilarious trailer. If the movie is anything like it, it looks like I’m going to have one hell of a good time watching it .

Of course I don’t mind one bit that Michelle Pfeiffer is among the cast – I’ve liked a lot of her movies so far (Wolf, Tequila Sunrise, Hairspray, Stardust, Up Close & Personal to name a few.)

Dark Shadows Plot

A witch (Eva Green) curses the playboy Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) he is in love with, and turns him to a vampire, and then buries him alive. When he is accidentally woken up over 200 years later, it is the 70s and hilarity ensues he has to get used to all the new technology, the witch doing her best to seduce him, the state of the family business and the family members. Oh, and then there is the 70s fashion…

In case you are wondering whether our taste is similar or not when it comes to Depp, below are the Johnny Depp movies I like or love (in no specific order):

–          Finding Neverland

–          Once Upon a Time in Mexico (huge Desperado fan)

–          Blow (I almost cried at the end- never watched a movie that engaging about a drug dealer, and never felt such sympathy for one.)

–          Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (hated 2 & 4)

–          In the nick of time

–          What’s Eating Gilbert Grape

–          Benny and Joon also starring Aidan Quinn and Julianne Moore.

–          Chocolat

–          The Rum Diary

–          The Man Who Cried
