I'm surprised that this wasn't my maiden post; the "Big Fish" movie remains one of my all-time favorites. I enjoy big-screen flicks that evoke a sense of familiarity and childlike wonder, encouraging us to embrace the unknown. That's how I would summarize Tim Burton's 2003 fantasy drama, "Big Fish."


These are my thoughts and fond memories about the screen adaptation of Daniel Wallace's "Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions," published in 1998. 

And a SPOILER alert is now in effect.

Better late than never, and I am usually late watching most of the movies and shows I'll review on this site. "Hollywood" premiered on Netflix, the streaming service, in 2020, but I only sat down to watch the full series in one night, earlier this year (2025).
