Comment De Cine
http://commentdecine.wordpress.com/
A blog about analysis, criticism and commentary on films, occasionally comic-books and sports. I have started this small blog in the desire to establish long personal thoughts and reactions in the purpose to chronichle them while I visit other websites about film discussions, and in the hope that they might create discussion in here as well. I also like chocolate and believe that Global Warming will kill us in a few years. Thanks for reading.

ED WOOD: How Tim Burton was made into Wood because of Batman and Helped Uncategorized Cinema
It has been documented that one of Tim Burton’s toughest times were the productions for his Batman films: 1989’s BATMAN being his “least personal film,” after getting overwhelmed by other interests from the studio, and 1992’s BATMAN RETURNS...
