Rent It The Film: When Tim Burton’s in his element — the melancholic verve of Edward Scissorhands and Sweeney Todd — he’s an artist of the shadows that makes us appreciate glimmers of hopefulness, but when he crawls out of that hole for something with more of a vibrant slant, like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , he’s...
