Film Review: Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland

Tim Burton is the filmmaker emodiement of mood swings. First he's making Ed Wood, then he goes off and makes the abominable 2001 remake of Planet of The Apes film. Alice is a return to the things that made him great in his early filmmaking years.

Alice in this version is not some daffy 9 year old. Oh no. She's a maturing 19 year old, about to be married off to some rich clot. owever, she gets distracted by a white rabbit that leads her down a hole into Underland (she misheard it last time) There she must confront her fears and life itself.

The most notable thing about the film are the visuals. Almost at an Avtar level of realism and human-to-CGI interactivity, some of the creatures are very beautiful I can say without a doubt the Cheschie Cat is among the greatest creations in CGI film to date. Alice also seems to really live with the characters and you feel like your there! It's quite an experience, especially in IMAX 3D.

Johnny Depp once again shows why he's the modern day king of acting.In one of his best performances to date, he give depth and realism to this crazy hatter. He's defenitly one heck of a performance and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see an Oscar nom. come in 2011.



This film has visuals and great acting through the teeth. It's one of the best fantasies ever. I can wholeheartedly say it's a fun romp, a great example of perfect 3D and one of Tim Burton's best.

Rating: 8.9 out of 10 or A-

Avatar Box Office Part III: Tuesday Is A Lucky Day

Avatar continues to be successful. But yesterday was amazing. Here are the three things it accomplished:

*Helped propel 2009 to over 10 billion dollars, making it the biggest year ever and the first time we have ever hit 10 billion dollars in a year.

*Hit 100 million in 5 days. It's total gross is standing at 109 million, on par with Star Wars: Episode I which went on to make 431 million.

*Biggest of all, this was the 2nd biggest Non-Holiday Tuesday ever. Even counting holidays, it's still the 3rd biggest Tuesday ever.

Wow. Avatar really is a success. Can't wait to see it in IMAX 3D this weeekend.

Avatar Box Office Part II: Weekend Jump

Avatar didn't make 73 million this weekend. It made 77.3 million, thus putting it as the biggest December opening of allt-ime and beating Finding Nemo and The Incredibles as the biggest original films of all-time. The IMAX? Huge. Bigger than The Dark Knight.

Overall, Avatar has a nice future ahead. Plus, with Clash of the Titans recently being said to perhaps having a 3D release, well...3D may not be a fad after all.

The Game Is Afoot

Tron was a nice little 1984 film. However, someone decided that it would work well as an action film. This is the 1st poster for Tron Legacy, the sequel to Tron, From the Comic-Con footage I have seen it looks great. The action actually works and I bet it'll look great in 3D. Could be good. Look at the poster above.
