Forget about the ongoing divide between Democrats and Republicans, becauseReagan’swildly divergentRotten Tomatoesscores reflect two completely different opinions when it comes to the new biopic.

It’s easy to forget, but there was a point whenTim Burtonwas considered a truly visionary filmmaker. Directors like John Carpenter are famous for legendary winning streaks with movies. But Burton never gets enough credit for a nearly fifteen-year streak (1985-1999) of one fantastic film after another – notable exception forMars Attacks!butBatman ReturnsandSleepy Holloware great. When people talk about his great films, they often go to movies likeBatman,Beetlejuice, orEdward Scissorhands –he didn’t directThe Nightmare Before Christmas, give Henry Selick the love he deserves–but the one film of his that doesn’t get brought up enough in the conversation is his overlooked 2003 classic,Big Fish....
