Projects by Martina

VENICE – An animated film based on a 19th-century Russian folk tale and described, as “low budget” by its director Tim Burton is the runaway success of the 62nd Venice film festival so far – Sunday Times.co.za.

Burton’s inventive, funny and touching movie featuring the voices of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter earned loud and lengthy applause at the festival, where it is being shown out of competition.

“Corpse Bride” marks the fifth time the director has collaborated with Depp, who also starred in Burton’s “Edward Scissorhands”, “Ed Wood” and “Sleepy Hollow”.

There is a strong cast of accomplished character actors to complement the film’s stunning visuals.

— HUNTER S. THOMPSON, 1937-2005.

February was always the cruelest month for Hunter S. Thompson. An avid NFL fan, Hunter traditionally embraced the Super Bowl in January as the high-water mark of his year. February, by contrast, was doldrums time. Nothing but monstrous blizzards, bad colds and the lackluster Denver Nuggets. This past February, with his health failing, Hunter was even more glum than usual. “This child’s getting old,” he muttered with stark regularity, an old-timey refrain that mountainmen used to utter when their trailblazing days were over. Depressed and in physical pain from hip-replacement surgery, he started talking openly about suicide, polishing his .45-caliber pistol, his weapon of choice. He was trying to muster the courage to end it all.
