It could have been so much more
PostedApril 18, 2010
Bobollinker
from Berkeley, CA
We went because we know that Johnny Depp can be magical in his personal transformation to "be" a character; we were not disappointed. He lit up the screen when he was present. but Mia Wasikowska was miscast and brought the whole enterprise down. She had no warmth and no presence; it seemed that she was reading the part rather than owning it. She was NOT Alice. Anne Hathaway got had by the gestures and manners she was asked to deliver by Burton. As a result, hers was one of the weakest performances in the film. Many of the special effects seem lifted from the cutting room floor of other movies; they weren't that original. Alice riding the Jabberwock reminded us of "The Golden Compass." Not enough of Carroll's humor was delivered and the film, overall, had a dark quality that made it less fun than it should have been.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Shaping the future
PostedJanuary 20, 2010

The right wing has Fox News and the Murdoch machine busily trying to shape the future with fear mongering. The progressive movement now has Avatar which has a high probability of shaping the world view of the next generation of humans. I may not see the benefit in my lifetime, but I believe it will have impacts far beyond its current entertainment value.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
