Ranking the Films of Tim Burton
The release of ‘Big Eyes’ marks the 17th film of director Tim Burton and one of the biggest departures in his 30 year career as a feature filmmaker. A seemingly straightforward drama about painter Margaret Keane, the movie sees one of the most fantastical filmmakers in the world making a rare trip back down to Earth. To mark the occasion, we delved into Burton’s filmography with one mission: to rank his films from worst to best. Some choices were easy (he’s made some really lousy films) and others were difficult (he’s made a handful of genuinely great movies), and through it all, he proved to be fascinating, often maddening subject. Few directors stoke the ire of movie fans quite like Burton, but when he’s on point, no one can do what he does.

‘Mad Men’ Season 5 leaves behind its ninth episode of the year, as Don tries to get back in the game while Betty reveals a distressing secret to Sally, and Roger enlists the estranged Jane in helping him land a new account.

Weekend Box Office Report: ‘The Avengers’ Destroy ‘Dark Shadows’
Poor Barnabas Collins never stood a chance. Tim Burton's 'Dark Shadows' found itself clobbered to death over the weekend courtesy of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, who rode a perfect cocktail of hype and stellar word-of-mouth to an unprecedented second weekend. It's no longer a question of whether or not 'The Avengers' will be one of the biggest movies of all time, mainly because it already is one of t

'Dark Shadows' hits theaters today, the eighth collaboration between director Tim Burton and versatile actor Johnny Depp. But with each passing year and each film the two make, this pairing has become painful to endure and it might be time for them to call their partnership quits.

Out Of Time: Our 10 Favorite Characters Who Are Stuck In A Different Era
Oddly enough, we have two comedies heading to theaters in the next few weeks that try to wring laughs by dropping characters into shockingly different time frames. In Tim Burton’s ‘Dark Shadows,’ Johnny Depp plays an 18th-century vampire who escapes his tomb in the 1970s and tries to exact revenge on his tormentors. Then, in ‘Men In... Read More ...

I love watching Johnny Depp make silly faces. Heck, I can watch that all day! That's something I used to think. Now I know that I can watch it for. . .about forty minutes. For an hour and fifty-three, which is the running time of Tim Burton's 'Dark Shadows,' I start to get real uncomfortable.

Reel Women: Is Chloe Grace Moretz Growing Up Too Fast?
In this week's Reel Women we discuss something that people often shy away from: the sexualization of young actresses. In Tim Burton's latest film, 'Dark Shadows,' Chloe Grace Moretz plays a pretentious, grating teen with all the sexual emphasis of the film's co-stars -- women who are more than twice her age. Does Hollywood have a problem? Or are we the problem?

'The Avengers' had the Imax field all to itself this weekend. It was on 275 Digital Imax screens and made $15.3 Million there, which would figure out to $55.6 Thousand per screen (and that's nearly eight thousand above the total per screen average). It also did $207 Million over the weekend, which meant exhibitors were none too happy to lose any of these screens to 'Dark Shadows,' which they alrea
