Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
Based on the bestselling book series by Daniel Handler, the "Snicket" saga revolves around a pint-sized trio of orphans named Sunny, Klaus and Violet who find themselves fobbed off on a series of odd people, including Lemony Snicket, who narrates each of what has grown to a series of eight books since Handler debuted the first title in 1999. The recurring bad guy is a distant family relative named Count Olaf, who initially takes in the kids but clearly is trying to separate them from a family inheritance. (read more)

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Movie Review by Zara  (10/20/2008) |

It probably wasn't until I caught this movie a second time while on a plane that I ended up seeing more points in it that were appealing than I did the first time around. The film suffers from being a little over-long, something I think might have come from the producers being worried that the film wouldn't be financially...

If you are looking for a joyful film about three happy children and how they lived life with their loving parents then read no further; this is not that picture. However, if you are in the market for the dismal, depressing, tale of three orphans in a situation most dark then by all means read on, as "Lemony Snicket's A...

This adaptation of the children's books has a lot of really good aspects, but it is not the Tim Burton film it is trying to be.

The art direction is very good...

I have to say, I'm not a big Jim Carey fan, but I think that he did justice to Count Olaf. They did an AWESOME job with the casting. Even though you'd think that a baby's role isn't that big, the munchkin that played Sunny had great facial expressions that, if you read the books, you could SEE Sunny making.
Another small...
