January 20, 2 p.m.  - BIG FISH

Our Wednesday Matinee Series continues with Big Fish. All I have to say about Big Fish is that it's one of my all-time favorite movies - mostly because it was such a cinematic and delightful surprise.

Here's what the critics have to say about this fabulous fable from director, Tim Burton:

A modern day "Wizard of Oz." - Scott Patrick, STARZ!/ENCORE

"Amazing! 'BIG FISH' is an incredible cinematic journey that is as wonderfully magical as it is visually dazzling." - Shawn Edwards, FOX-TV

“'BIG FISH' is Tim Burton's masterpiece." -Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Daily News

The details: Big Fish - (2003) Starring Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Billy Crudup, and Jessica Lange; Rated PG-13; 125 minutes
