Just because a filmmaker seems to be getting back on track doesn’t mean that they should be given a free pass. This is a statement I pondered last month when I saw American Sniper and the same statement I thought about while watching Big Eyes, Tim Burton‘s return to the land of non-CGI foolery. While it was nice to see a “subdued” Burton film, I can’t say I was happy to watch Big Eyes, a movie that’s lacking in energy and keeping an audience’s interest.
Whew do these Oscar predictions look drastically different.
