This last weekend I finally made it out to see Alice in Wonderland and was a tad confused. The movie was really well done and the graphics are outstanding, but was there any part of the storyline that wasn’t expected? I mean, I didn’t see one unusual twist or even a slight surprise. The whole story came down to Alice going back to wonderland and everyone saying she wasn’t the right one, even though you knew she was. Time goes on and you know she’ll kill the Jaberwalke in the Lord of the Rings Chessboard final battle. It was exactly how you expected it to be, nothing new or different at all. They did mention cool side plots, like Alice’s past, but they should have explored them a little bit deeper or done something completely far-fetched.
If you are looking for a typical movie, Alice in Wonderland is great, but honestly, it wasn’t anything you haven’t already seen.
Oh, and p.s., the twins (tweedle dee and tweedle dum) were awesome, they should have had a bigger part.
Movies based off of books can be good, The Lovely Bones is not one of them. A good movie should be able to stand by itself, people should be able to understand it without reading the book first. This movie is understandable, but it also has a where-did-this-come-from feeling.
A scene from heaven.
The Lovely Bones was disorienting, disturbing, and shocking. The main character, Suzie Salmon lives in a neighborhood inhabited by an undocumented serial killer. The killer lures her in to an underground hut he made just for the occasion, and murders her.
Suzie’s spirit runs away from the murderer, and it takes her a while to learn she is dead.
There are some disturbing scenes in her afterlife, and I had a hard time deciding whether she was in heaven or hell, but it turns out she was in neither. She was in the spirit world.
There are more scenes from the Suzie’s spirit world that made me feel like I was on drugs, because they were so abstract and full of things that had nothing to do with anything. I am sure they meant more to people who read the book, but to a viewer without all that background information, the randomness meant nothing.
So unless you feel like watching a movie that makes you depressed, disturbed, and sick to your stomach, I suggest staying away from this one.
After the Academy Awards last weekend, the hype is up about “The Hurt Locker” taking best picture. The film is very relevant to today’s news. This film captured the hearts of viewers.
I couldn’t help but wonder what the history of past winners was. The following is a list of Academy Award winners and nominees for the past 10 years.
