Sunday's (1-21-07) Movie

This movie was a little odd and disturbing to me. It was thankfully short. I watched "Corpse Bride" on Blu-Ray. This movie was alright. I did enjoy the movie, but I was left feeling a little shafted. I don't know why that is. I think my expectations were set a little too high. It was a Burton movie and I expect awesome things from him. Anyway the plot is another simple one. A guy is getting married to a girl he has never met. The preacher scares him at the rehearsal and he can't get his vows down. He leaves and is in the woods trying to work on getting his vows right. He doesn't realize that he ends up wandering into the graveyard. He fools around and drops the ring onto a finger which he believes to be a limb. He gets his vows correct and up pops the "Corpse Bride". She takes him to the land of the dead and he tries to figure out how to get back "upstairs". Things top side go nuts and the girl he is suppose to marry ends up marring another guy that plans on killing her for her parents money. He has done this many of times and it is obvious that he did this to the "Corpse Bride". Anyway, the poor sucker stuck in the world of the dead decides to off himself and marry the dead bride. They go top side to make it official and then the confrontation starts. In the end, the dead take care of business and the dead and the living take care of the living. I was disturbed by some of the dead design and the character of the worm and black widow spider. Something just didn't sit right with me about them. Oh well, I did find the movie to be entertaining and I don't know how many times I will watch it again. It is a decent family movie and fairly funny. Very predictable and easy watching. I would give it a 6.5 rating. Enjoy.
