VIDEO: Corpse Bride (2005)

Joey watches Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, starring the voice of Johnny Depp (who else?) as a shy groom who practices his wedding vows near a grave and ends up married to a murdered bride, voiced by Helena Bonham Carter (who else?). This is one of Joey's favorite Burton films, and he explains why it's basically the grown-up version of Burton's other famous stop motion film, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

VIDEO: Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars (2007)

It's the two-part BBC mini series from 2007 with Jonathan Pryce in the title role, and costarring the Irregulars, a ragtag group of street kids who do all the work while Holmes gets all the credit. Meanwhile, our Watson (Sursum Ursa) ends up having to do most of the reviewing herself as our Holmes (Sofie Liv) gets lost on the streets of London.

VIDEO: The Mexican (2001)

Film Renegado reviews The Mexican, which is not his life story, but rather the 2001 romantic comedy-slash-mob caper flick starring Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts, though rarely at the same time.

VIDEO: Australia (2008)

In Baz Luhrmann's Pearl Harbor, Nicole Kidman is a British aristocrat who inherits a cattle ranch in pre-World War II Australia, and Hugh Jackman is the rancher who helps her drive her cattle across the outback. Spoiler alert: They fall in love. Also, they adopt a half-white/half-Aboriginal boy who can do magic, apparently, and arrive just in time to be caught in a Japanese sneak attack.

VIDEO: Serenity (2005)

It was a huge gamble making a big budget film based on a failed TV show. Did it pay off? Well... you probably already know the answer to that, but Cheapus will tell you anyway!

VIDEO: The Practice Season 8

It's that mostly forgotten season where David E. Kelley fired half the cast and brought in James Spader and William Shatner (as Denny Crane!) for what was essentially a year-long setup for the spin-off Boston Legal.

The Special Relationship Part Four!

Sursum Ursa continues a series from long ago, where we compare British films against their U.S. remakes! In Part Four, Ursa looks at 1969's The Italian Job with Michael Caine, versus the 2003 remake, er, "homage" starring Mark Wahlberg.

VIDEO: Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Sofie goes down the rabbit hole for Alice in Wonderland, another visually impressive yet incoherent mess from Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, and Mia Wasikowska as Alice. Watch and wonder how a movie this mediocre made a billion damn dollars.

VIDEO: The Help (2011)

Emma Stone is a White Savior character in 1960s Mississippi who writes a book about the black maids in town (Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer), which makes all the white people in town feel bad about racism. It also makes a buttload of money for Emma, while leaving the maids worse off then before. Whoops!

VIDEO: Shark Night 3D (2011)

From the director of Snakes on a Plane, this movie follows a group of college kids (including Sara Paxton and Katharine McPhee, who fortunately spend most of the move in bikinis, but unfortunately never less than that, because this movie is PG-13) as they go on the perfect vacation, only to find out they're being fed to sharks by a group of rednecks intent on making awesome internet videos!

VIDEO: King Ralph (1991)

Full of rampant stereotyping of Brits and Americans, it's a one-joke comedy that quickly degenerates into shameless Burger King tie-ins and covers of overplayed Little Richard songs.

VIDEO: Sofie's Journey to a Fantastic World

VIDEO: Minority Report (2002)

In Steven Spielberg's overlong, needlessly complicated adaption of a Philip K. Dick short story, the Couch Jumper (AKA Tom Cruise) plays a "precrime" detective who stops murders before they happen with the help of blind, androgynous "precogs" who can see the future.
