Saturday Movie Reviews

Alice in Wonderland! I really liked this movie and not just because I'm a natural Disney fan. :) This was so better than the original. As a child, the original movie would give me nightmare's and it had a very creepy and delusional feeling to it. As I watch it now, well it still gives me the creeps, especially the cheshire cat and his horrible way of never answering questions. However, this new Tim Burton film, starring Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, and Anne Hathaway-hey, really quick trivia, this was also the name of Shakespeare's wife-as the White Queen. The plot is Alice having grown-up, returns to Wonderland to defeat the Red Queen. I like how in this version we learn about some of the background of how the Red Queen came into power. I also liked how it still held a few classic scenes form the book, such as the falling down the hole, the shrinking and growing of Alice, and some of the popular qoutes, like "curioser and curioser"-say that ten times fast. All in all, it was a great movie and I had a fun time laughing and watching the movie-especially the dancing part! It is also showing in 3D,
