Saturday Sliver Screen Scrunity...

From now on, on Saturdays, I will be giving reviews on different movies that I have seen... who knows it may give you all some insight on what to see... With out further a due... SATURDAY SLIVER SCREEN SCRUTINY!!!

Today My wife and I went saw the much anticipated movie by Tim Burton (you guessed it) "Alice and Wonderful"

A little review of the movie (I advise you there will probably be spoilers).

We see Alice all grown up (19 to be true). She is no longer the little girl that fell into the hole from Disney's perspective. She has been guaranteed to be wed to a yuppie. While speaking with the her soon to be mom-n-law Alice notice's a "rabbit". Not just any rabbit... The rabbit that had the old pocket watch. As we know she follows along and falls. But this is a very different "underland" than we were use to as a children.

Alice meets all the nostalgic characters that flew through the movie long ago. Johnny Depp does an excellent job of being the Mad Hatter... the thing I couldn't get past was the Jack Sparrow and Edward Scissors combination to make up this lovely character. The Queen of Hearts, played by Helena Bonham Carter, was done to a "T". She pulled off this retched character like none other. Ann Hathaway played the white queen and did a superb job as well (kind of reminded me of Giselle in the movie Enchanted, just not as perky). Then there is Mia Wasikowska, who played Alice. She did a fine job of portraying the Character of Alice. We see her go from this unsure about herself girl to standing against greatest odds.

Alice in wonderland is all about not Letting the imagination die and to not let anyone hold you back. If you have a dream go for it. It had a feel good theme with a classic Tim Burton quirkiness threaded through it. All in all I rate the movie a 3.7 out of 5.

That is the SATURDAY SLIVER SCREE SCRUTINY for today... until next time...
