Exclusive: Helena Bonham-Carter Spills Potter: Deathly Hallows Secrets
SPOILER WARNING - RT sat down with Helena Bonham Carter in London earlier today to talk about her take on the Red Queen in husband Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. While there, we couldn't resist mining the Terminator: Salvation star for news on her third and fourth appearances in the Harry Potter films, with the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2-parter. Bonham Carter has played dark witch Bellatrix Lestrange since Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. In that film, she's responsible for the death of Potter's godfather, Sirius Black. This time she'll be back behind the wand, notably appearing in the Potter series' climactic battle at Hogwarts castle.

33rd Annual Annie Nominations Are Out
OK, so they're not exactly the Oscars, but as a longtime animation aficionado, I thought it'd be fun to cover the 33rd Annie Awards, which celebrate excellence in (what else) the art of animation. "DreamWorks and Aardman garnered an amazing total of 25 nominations, more than any other studio, and with the two movies which received by far the most nominations..."

Toronto Film Fest: Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride" starring Johnny Depp
"Corpse Bride" is yet another exquisitely beautiful Tim Burton creation with witty, dark humor. The color palette is deeper than Burton's previous claymation feature, "The Nightmare Before Christmas," but because it's a Tim Burton film, they're very muted. The character design reminds me a little bit of "Triplets of Bellville," but is, nonetheless, devilishly unique and inspired. The world of the dead, where people are in varying degrees of decomposition and their surroundings and structures are moldy and worn, especially shows Burton's creativity and imagination at work. The images onscreen are so gorgeous that sometimes it looks like a CGI movie. Most of the humor is visual ? like the knife on a dead character being pulled out and used during a fight scene; or the dead bride's conscience being revealed as a maggot living in her hollow skull. The voice acting by Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Emily Watson amongst others, overall, is noticeably good. I'm not a fan of musical numbers, but they're not very distracting. The story is simple enough and doesn't get in the way of the visuals.
