Frankenweenie (2012) PG, 87 min - Comedy | Animation | Horror - 5 October 2012 (USA) SYNOPSIS: Young Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences. REVIEW: I am overjoyed to report, then, that Frankenweenie – a blackand-white, stop-motion animation remake of his 1984 live-action short – requires no adjustment of expectations. Prepare yourself for greatness on the way in, and the film may still surprise you with its touching, personal storytelling and staggering technical accomplishments. This is Burton at his very best, putting his heart and soul on screen once again and fueling each frame with the same manic, precisely controlled energy that made works like Beetlejuice or Edward Scissorhands such instant, beloved classics. The film features the same simple story as the original short – a boy, Victor Frankenstein, resurrects his deceased dog using the same ‘scientific’

method as his namesake – but it’s the specific way Burton tells this tale that makes Frankenweenie such a delight. Mixing classic horror language with earnest, absurdist comedy, the film has plenty of outstanding entertainment to offer, but is always anchored by its warm, thoughtful heart. The film addresses death and loss in frank, relatable terms, and is one of the only movies – family-friendly or otherwise – I can recall ever actually telling the audience that ‘moving on’ is overrated. The traditional, Hollywood-approved narrative of gradually getting over grief one step at a time is nowhere to be found in Frankenweenie, replaced by the subversive message that holding onto one’s pain is, if not entirely healthy, the natural and human thing to do. The animation itself is flawless, highly stylized but a little different than any past stop-motion project. The animators bring several extremely kooky ideas to life with a sense of fun and whimsy, perfectly recreating in one sequence the exact atmosphere of a Japanese monster movie. I do not know if this will lead to a new period of creative success for the director, but I very much hope it does. With Frankenweenie, Burton is back on the top of his game, rediscovering the voice that made him an icon. On a scale of 1-10, I give this one a 9 My 2¢ -B You can read more of my reviews online at: www. themotionpicturereviewer. blogspot.com

RE: AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT?
The Affordable Care explicitly covers pre-existing conditions and preventive care. If your provider refuses to cover, they are breaking the law. Either that, or you are trying to spread false information. Please don’t. There are enough lies coming from the disgruntled, vindictive, and desperate minority party; they have plenty of money, and they don’t need (or want) your help.
