Not a Disney Redux

First, I recommend your see this film. My six year old daughter loved it. She was a bit wary going in that it wouldn't be like the original - the depiciton of the Red Queen in the trailers caused her to be alarmed. When it was all done, she remarked "That was a great movie."
Second, if you're looking for a reprise of cutesy March Hares, you will be disappointed. However, if you are a fan of Lewis Carroll and want to see how Tim Burton is able to weave the poem "Jabberwocky" into a phantasmagorical rendering of "Alice in Wonderland," you're in for a treat.
Third, ,make sure you see this filmin 3D.
Slight caution, the violence in the film may be too intense for small kids under 5.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Must see in IMAX 3D

Avatar is the reason IMAX 3D was invented. No other film I have seen to date has made such maximum use of the technology of IMAX or 3D. Don't short change yourself and see it for the first time in mere Real 3D or (God forbid!) 2D. James Cameron has created a world that can only be fully appreciated on a BIG screen. My only word of caution would be to think before taking small kids to the see the film. Avatar may be a colorful world (Ferngully on steroids) but it is also filled with some very menacing creatures (Jurassic Park on meth).
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Ho hum Princess

We just returned from Disneyworld where "The Princess and The Frog" was showcased on a river boat running through the Magic Kingdom. Based on what we saw, we were looking forward to watching the latest Disney Princess in almost ten years. Unfortunately, we were dissappointed to see that none of the magic one might find either on Bourbon Street or in the bayou made it into the film. Unlike other Princess films, this film lacks any real sense of place or rhythm. The characters are likable, but no one is particularly compelling. The Shadow Man is the lamest Disney ever. My daughter almost fell asleep. Wait for the DVD.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
