Fans of Tim Burton’s 1993 mirthfully macabre stop-motion animation feature “The Nightmare Before Christmas ” — a group that grew substantially once the film went to the video after-market — only need know that he is back and in top form with another imaginative venture into the fanciful and ghoulish.
Apparently based on a Russian folk tale, then transferred to Victorian Europe, “Corpse Bride ” is the story of an arranged marriage interrupted when the groom-to-be inadvertently finds himself engaged to a different woman who comes from beyond the grave. We know that the era is Victorian, because the initial betrothed couple are named Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp) and Victoria (Emily Watson).

Imagine the following scenario: You finally land a date with that gorgeous woman and, in an attempt to impress, take her to a fine restaurant. You order a bottle of wine on the sommelier's recommendation and it is brought to the table with the usual pomp and circumstance. The ambience is abruptly shattered by a harsh crack as the wine steward twists the screw cap off the bottle.
You ordered a premium bottle of wine. What is going on here? Where's the romance?
Some restaurateurs regard this their worst wine nightmare. A romantic mood is destroyed by the crassness of a screw
As evidenced by the popularity of the new movie "March of the Penguins," we humans find it fascinating when animals hook up.
It takes a lot to pack a theater for a documentary, and yet Americans have been captivated by this story of emperor penguins who travel across 70 miles of snow and ice in search of a mate.

A couple with a combined age of 186 became one of the world’s oldest to marry when they tied the knot today.
Raymond Robson, 96, proposed to Faye Webber, 90, several months ago after a whirlwind romance at The Grange residential home in Goring, Berkshire.
The couple clicked straight away when Raymond moved in last summer and love blossomed as he began reading the newspaper aloud to short-sighted Faye.
