NOC Review: ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ is Burton Back at His Best

September 3, 2024September 3, 2024 Mike Manalo

Passion. When you think about the Tim Burton who did Beetlejuice in 1988 and the Burton who did Dumbo in 2019, that’s what separates the two. For a few decades, it looked like the former was lost for good. But after seeing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, I’m pleased to say, thanks to the help of a delightfully devilish demon, the spark that once defined the director has been found once more!

August 20, 2024August 20, 2024 Mike Manalo

Few directors in the industry garner the same level of respect and attention as filmmaker Tim Burton. Known for his wild, intriguing, and vivid imagination and visual concepts, the man who brought to life Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and The Nightmare Before Christmas has forever changed how a modern day macabre live action fairy tale could be told on screen.

It’s Showtime! New Poster Reveals Official First Look and Title for ‘Beetlejuice 2’

February 1, 2024February 1, 2024 Mike Manalo

It’s actually happening! In 1988, Tim Burton released his second feature — a horror comedy called Beetlejuice. At the time, this wasn’t expected to be a tentpole, or a huge blockbuster of any sort. But the movie defied all conventions and expectations of what a quirky and hilarious studio picture could be, becoming a massive success and the legend it is today. Following its release, there was even talk of a sequel, which basically never went through. Until now!

Inside Out is Not for Kids, and That’s Exactly Why Your Kids Should See It

June 25, 2015June 25, 2015 Guest N.O.C.

by Mayka Mei | Originally posted at The Maykazine

Last week I cried three times. First, the shooting at Emanuel AME Church. Then when I watched Inside Out. Then my friends got married. Adult life is confusing.

Each instance occurred within the span of three days, and though each event has warranted its own inner reflection and the outer two are deserving of their own longwinded meanderings, right now I want to write about the middle one, the kids’ movie. (I’ve also written about the AME shooting. Here are my raw thoughts from the morning after that god-awful Wednesday night.)
