The summer movie season has just begun, and we have our first disappointment. Whether it be because you’re a fan of the original television series (there might be a few of you) or because you’re a Tim Burton fan (probably even fewer of you) or because it’s another chance for Johnny Depp to create a memorable character, there seem to be many people looking forward to “Dark Shadows.” Alas, you are about to fall victim to the curse of fangless remakes.
