Doormen + Alice in Wonderland Review

I’m (kind of) sorry for not posting in a while. In my absence, my friend did a couple of posts to keep readers satisfied. I hope you enjoyed her posts as much as I did. So anyway…

I spent my day at home for the most part catching up on Strikeforce. At night, I went to see Alice in Wonderland.

Before going to the theaters, I decided to stop by a Starbucks that was nearby to check if they had any pumpkin spice syrup left to make a pumpkin spice latte (they didn’t). I got my caramel machiato and was about to exit, when this guy who is about to enter Starbucks opens the door and tells the guy who is next to him to go ahead. While an obvious homosexual relationship was evolving before my eyes, I decided to just go ahead and walk out as they were professing their love for holding the door open for one another. I don’t think they even hear me thank them because of their “catcher and pitcher” discussion.

Alice in Wonderland – Review:

Alice in Wonderland was OK. It wasn’t as focused around the Mad Hatter as I had expected or liked from what I saw on the trailer. The little details here and there to provide a nostalgic feeling for those who had read the book in the past were nice. I think I saw what Tim Burton and Linda Woolverton wanted to do with the story by making it crazy and random, but it went over the line a bit. This made them fail to create a story that was parallel to Lewis Carroll’s story in terms of creativity without the sacrifice of cohesiveness. The acting wasn’t bad, but the story was trivial. The visuals and sound were very pleasing. The visuals were not overdone, which is easy to do with a story that contains a big of an imagination as this. Also, the clothes were really nice. However, if you haven’t seen it, wait for it to go on DVD. Please don’t behead me.

Acting: 8

Sound: 7

Story: 2

Visual: 9

OVERALL: 6.5
