I honestly don't think I have been this excited to see a movie in a while. I have been looking forward to Alice in Wonderland since I saw the first preview. However, I might have been a little too excited. While promising, Alice in Wonderland was nowhere near as good as it could have been. I hate to say it, but it definitely fell short which is strange for a Tim Burton film. To keep the spoilers to a minimum, the full review is after the jump.
How I love to see the traffic on a Thursday. I don't really, but I'm overly used to it now. I am actually quite patient on the bus to the metro and on the metro to my workplace. In fact, I really surprise myself. However, my patience is wearing thin for what will be released in theaters tomorrow. Lately, my thoughts have been about seeing Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland in amazing 3D.
Yes, I'm 23. Yes, I shouldn't be this excited about a film considering that I'm not a kid. However, I have grown to really appreciate Tim Burton's style over the years. He is not afraid to touch on darker and edgier themes for his films. Like many other artists, his style is so much his own that no one can really imitate him. Besides, Alice in Wonderland is a classic. I'm very interested in seeing Burton's take on it. The Disney cartoon was not bad, but it fell short of the written work.
I wish that they would build a Tim Burton theme park. It would be absolutely terrifying, but thrilling at the same time. You'd see some of the wildest things you ever imagined there. I can already imagine a roulette themed roller coaster with Oogie Boogie in it. Can you imagine it? However, that is neither here nor there. Look forward to a film review for Alice in Wonderland here on NewfoundJoye and enjoy your Thursday.
So, I like Tim Burton's style. Something about the quirky, curvy, definitely dark subject matter is addictive and attractive to me. So, you can imagine that when I heard he might be in the works of creating a movie about Disney villain, Maleficent, I was thrilled! She is the crème de la crème of all Disney villains. No other villain is quite as sinister. In fact, my list of villains goes in this order: Maleficent, Scar, Jafar, Ursula, The Shadow Man, Cruella, Hades, Hook, Queen of Hearts, Lady Tremaine a.k.a the Evil Stepmother, and all the rest. While Scar murdered his own brother and tried to kill his nephew, he is second to Maleficent only because she is a dragon. That is ridiculous. I do hope that this might be a series of films by Burton. This would be better than Wicked too.
