Tim Burton's films are always awaited with a great deal of expectation, and considering the fact that his latest offering is a filmic adaptation of one of Britain's best loved pieces of literature, the anticipation leading up to the release of 'Alice in Wonderland' was sky high. The film also represents a foray into the visually exciting world of 3D - something which cinema-goers have been enamored with since James Cameron's 'Avatar' proved to be such a popular title. The story is a mish-mash of both 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass' - two fabulous and creative pieces of writing which have had a selection of television series ...  Read the complete review

Alice Kingsleigh has been having the same nightmare since she was a little girl: of falling down a hole and meeting strange creatures, from smiling cats to smoking caterpillars, mad hatters and insane hares. Now nineteen, Alice's surprise engagement party - in that, she didn't know she was due to be engaged, and to a loathsome lord at that - sends her running after those dreams again, in the shape of a white rabbit in a waistcoat. Down a hole she goes, of course, and back into the familiar dream - or so she thinks. But while the creatures she meets seem familiar, they do not seem to recognise her. Is she indeed the "wrong Alice"? In fact, is the ...  Read the complete review

A review of the film only, this is based on the 2D version rather than the 3D version shown at some cinemas. For years, Alice Kingsleigh has dreamed strange dreams of a hole in the ground and a fantastical journey across a land filled with bizarre and colourful characters. As a child, her kind father would tuck her up in bed and soothe her nightmare-induced fears and reassure that whilst she might be going mad, all the best people probably are. Now, aged 19, Alice's world is about to take a rather more mundane turn. On her way to a garden party with her mother (her father now sadly passed away) she discovers that a local Lord is about to propose to her and ...  Read the complete review

So Why is a Raven like a writing desk? Well, not a sausage but what I do know is Johnny Depp is undoutbedly doing his repetitive acting (again) and using his techniques from his character (Jack Sparrow) from Pirates of the Carribean and I must say -IT'S WORKED! As well as having a good appearance thanks to those who did his erm... hair and make-up his acting is truely amazing. Typically, Tim Burton has also used his wife... Yet again! How many films must he ruin with such a rubbish actress? I have to admit she has improved but it's bringing the rating down on the films in which she's in and, let's be honest there is a more than obvious reason as to why she is in Alice in  Read the complete review

After watching Charlie and the chocolate factory by Tim Burton starring Johnny Depp I knew I just had to watch this film. I loved the style Tim Burton used on the classic story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I was hoping the Alice and wonderland would be the same. Johnny Depp made his character shine I think he is an extremely talented actor. The film begins with the young Alice who suffers from the same strange dream every night of the rabbit with the watch. Moving on many years you join an grown up Alice who is 19 years old (played by Mia Wasikowska) she is a slightly daring girl who comes across as quirky and different to everyone else in her upper ...  Read the complete review
