**## COMPETITION CLOSED ##** If you follow this site at all, you’ll know that I am a massive Wes Anderson fan. He did, after all, direct my favourite film What I love about films is, unsurprising, his attention to detail in his set design… but more than that I love how his movies create universal emotions, […]

It’s a testament to his prior work that I still call myself a Tim Burton fan. It’s been almost 10 years since he’s made a film that I can really say I liked. There have been films that were tolerable… films that were ok… but nothing actually… good.
