User Image

At the beginning of the film, we are introduced to Halloween Town, an alternate world where the annual holiday of Halloween is constructed, and to its biggest celebrity and the film's main character, Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King. Although Jack is loved and respected by the townspeople, he has grown tired of the repetitiveness of Halloween and feels that there is something missing from his life. While wandering in the woods after one such Halloween, with his loyal ghost dog, Zero, Jack discovers a circle of trees he has never seen before, a nexus to several holiday-themed worlds (the hinterlands). Each tree has a door on it with different icons from the holiday seasons, such as a four leaf clover (St. Patrick's Day) or a heart (Valentine's Day), but Jack is immediately attracted to the door in the shape of a Christmas tree. When Jack opens this Christmas tree door, he is sucked into a town filled with snow, lights, and happiness. Jack is mesmerized by all the colors and cheerfulness, and realizes that this may be what he has been searching for.

Upon his return to Halloween Town, Jack immediately calls for a town meeting. During the meeting he reveals several of the artifacts he brought with him from Christmas town. Unfortunately, the denizens of Halloween Town only think in terms of how these toys could be used for Halloween. Frustrated from the misunderstandings, Jack describes the ruler of Christmas Town in the only way the town members can understand: as a lobster-red creature possessing a deep voice and riding his sleigh "like a vulture in the sky," his name, "Sandy Claws". Distraught by his friends' inability to understand Christmas, Jack locks himself in his house and performs multiple experiments to try to understand the meaning of Christmas. He finally comes to the realization that believing in Christmas is all it takes and he informs the town of his intention to take over Christmas for that year. Sally, a rag doll, who is secretly in love with Jack, has a vision about the disasters to come and tries to warn him that taking over something he knows nothing about may be a bad idea. However, Jack is too wrapped up in his fantasies to listen.

Jack assigns each of the townspeople certain duties in order to make Christmas theirs, including having Sally sew Jack a Santa Claus outfit and having Dr. Finklestein bring several skeleton reindeer to life. In order to complete this takeover, Jack enlists the help of a trio of young trick or treaters named Shock, Lock, and Barrel to "Kidnap the Sandy Claws." After mistakenly kidnapping the Easter Bunny, the trio bring Santa Claus to Jack, who warns them not to take Santa to their master, a gambling addict bogeyman named Oogie Boogie, but they end up doing so anyway. Despite Jack's efforts to make their Christmas joyful, the townspeople end up mixing the ideas of Christmas and Halloween, creating twisted toys and decorations.

Now Christmas eve, Jack embarks from Halloween Town to share Halloween Town's toys with the whole world. Sally attempts to stop Jack's departure by creating a fog bank, but Zero's glowing jack-o-lantern nose allows Jack to see through the thick fog. The citizens of the real world are not so receptive to the Halloween-themed toys Jack delivers and begin to call police reporting attacks from toys and a "flying skeleton." Soon after, the military is called in to deal with the Santa Claus impostor, eventually shooting Jack out of the sky. At the same time, Sally sets off to rescue Santa Claus in order to set things right. However, during her rescue attempt she is also captured by Oogie Boogie who perversely gambles with both of their lives over a large cauldron of Oogie's "snake and spider stew". The other citizens of Halloween Town witness Jack being shot down, and, fearing the worst, begin to mourn his death. Meanwhile, the citizens of the real world are being informed that since the real Santa Claus can't be found, Christmas must therefore be cancelled.

Upon regaining consciousness in a graveyard amongst the wreckage of his failed Christmas, Jack hears the news of the cancellation of Christmas and realizes his foolishness. He realizes that his role in life is to be the Pumpkin King and vows to make the next Halloween the best ever. In an effort to save this Christmas, Jack returns to Halloween Town to save Santa Claus. He rushes to Oogie's lair to rescue both Sally and Santa Claus and in defeating Oogie, Jack reveals him to be nothing more than a sack full of bugs. The villain meets a terrible demise when all but one of these bugs fall into the stew; the last bug is crushed under the foot of Santa Claus himself. After scolding Jack and telling him that Sally is "the only one who makes sense in this insane asylum", Santa magically floats out the chimney and restores peace to the real world by replacing all of Jack's presents. Jack returns to Halloween Town to the great joy of its citizens. Santa then flies over Halloween Town, and with a greeting of "Happy Halloween" (and a response of "Merry Christmas" from Jack), he brings snow to the town. Thus, the citizens of Halloween Town finally understand the Christmas spirit.

In the end, Jack finally comes to appreciate what Sally has attempted to do for him and falls in love with her. Even though she still cannot admit her feelings, he can, and he makes the first move. The final line of the movie has the two of them realizing that they are "meant to be". They embrace and kiss on the curly Moonlight Hill while Zero watches happily from afar.

arrow Four Brothers

User Image

Four Brothers is a 2005 film starring Tyrese Gibson, Andre Benjamin, Mark Wahlberg, and Garrett Hedlund. The movie was directed by John Singleton. The film is an adaptation of the film The Sons of Katie Elder.

The seemingly-random murder of their adoptive mother in a convenience store sends four brothers to Detroit on the path of vengeance when they uncover a tangled criminal web involving a local kingpin.

Although they are not related by blood, the four brothers display the loyalty and love of a real family.

After returning to Detroit for their mother's funeral, four adopted brothers set about avenging their mother's death, though warned not to by childhood friend and investigating officer Lt. Green (Terrence Howard) who admonishes that the police must be allowed to do their job, at the great derision of Bobby (Wahlberg).

When bad boy Landon (Shane West) is cast opposite the campus bookworm (Mandy Moore) in a school play, no one expects romance to bloom. Despite peer pressure and strict parents, the newly minted lovebirds forge a heartfelt bond ... until tragedy tears them apart. This adaptation of Nicholas Sparks's pulpy best-seller provides teen pop sensation Moore her first starring role -- and lets viewers clean out their tear ducts.
