The movie BIG EYES from 2014

Big Eyes.
It was long and sluggish, with an almost dreamy soft quality to the tone.
They never really impressed how magnetic or domineering Christopher Walz Stalz was as a husbnad- he coerced her into painting under HIS name for ten years!
It was very queer.

And he was SO miscast - his accent was all over the place, and it was hard to "go into" the characters for that reason.
Adams was good as the wife but, had that kinda soft quality that she takes in many roles.
The art direction / production design was FANTASTIC.  I mean seriously, every frame had an orange lampshade with an aqua tabletop, overly perfect props and period detials and color... framed terrifically at times... 
But its NOT ENOUGH.

Tim Burton, after seeing that Sleepy Hollow movie, I was like yeah I'm done.
He did good with Scissorhands Batman and Beetlejuice.
But even if you go back, Beetlejuice is just weird and has its issues. 
Same with Scissor.
Ed Wood was pretty fun tho.

Hated Chocolate Factory remake!!! 
hated it! 

(wish I could draw musical notes by that)
