I watched Alice in Wonderland myself this weekend. I was not thrilled, although the special effects were great. I am just NOT an Alice fan to begin with, so when this one came out, with it Johnny Depp (who I do adore), but looking so weird, I was just not thrilled about going to see it. Dave's kids were all for seeing it, and they loved it, but me, eh..... I could have lived with out it.

I wanted to see Valentine's Day. That's more my speed, and it wasn't Rated R, so the kids could have seen it too (the one girl did want to see it, but wanted to watch Alice more... and her dad didn't want them in the theatre all by themselves, so we all went to the same movie).

Jesus Christ Superstar w/Ted Neeley, Yvonne Elliman and Carl Anderson. I saw Neeley's performance this past Saturday in Cleveland for his farewell tour. The man is more powerful now than he was when the movie was made in '72. Not too many singers move me but he did and he brought me to tears. His scene in the temple when Jesus threw out the money changers brought down the house, also his scene in the Garden of Gethsemane. He's 67 now and he still sings as though he's 28. Powerful, powerful man.

I LOVED Valentine's Day, I saw it on Friday. I thought it was so cute. It was unessicarily long though. Bradely Cooper was so cute in it, especially at the end. But overall, a very cute movie.

Meow.

I went to see Alice last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved the Cheshire Cat, and the March Hare who made me giggle a lot.

Johnny plays the Mad Hatter magnificently. I did notice a couple traces of Jack and one of Sweeney in there but other than that he has made a wonderful new characterisation for us.

I thought Mia Wasikowska (Alice), Helena Bonham Carter(Red Queen) and Crispin Glover (Knave of Hearts) played their roles with equal excellence but was a little disappointed with Anne Hathaway's performance as the White Queen.

It was the first time I had viewed a film in 3D and that part wasn't quite as good as I had expected, but, having said that, it still added to the enjoyment for me. Will I go to see it again? Oh, yes, if I get the chance and can afford it.

For anyone who didn't quite understand some of the language used and would like to there is a glossary here and a link to the complete Jabberwocky poem here

My Melissa saw it in 3D too and really enjoyed it, she thought J Depp was fantastic in his role, but then he always is really isn't he? well for the most part anyhow.

Loved "Alice"!! Saw it last weekend. But I love this sort of thing anyway. And I usually like what Tim Burton does. "Nightmare Before Christmas" is one of my favorites.

Anyways, "Alice" wasn't the best example of a film to watch in 3-D. I think it would be just fine without it. I saw it in 3-D, i-Max on that huge screen and that was fun, but it would work on my little TV screen as well. I think movies need to be filmed with a 3-D camera for it to really work well.

Helena B-C was freakin' hysterical in her role as the Red Queen! Loved the giant head!

Yes, I'm really looking forward to the DVD.
