Alice In Wonderland



So this review will be short and to the point because this film is what it is. It's "Alice In Wonderland" everybody knows the basics of the story. Alice falls down the rabbit hole and goes on a crazy adventure of nonsense.

Basically I feel that this movie is one where you are either going to love it or hate it, there's not really an in-between. I believe that in order to love it you have to go into it knowing that it's going to be crazy. Don't try and rationalize it or make sense of it just enjoy the ride. If you try to take it seriously you won't enjoy it. This isn't an Appelbee's training video it's supposed to be entertainment. This movie is fun and a great chance to be a kid again.(which is good cause I still am one)

It does have a deeper message of being yourself and not being afraid to be different. I didn't really catch that when I was a kid. Actually when I was a kid this movie scared the crap out of me. But anyway, I enjoyed finally getting the message of standing out and being yourself no matter how crazy that might be. This story does a great job of showing you that by making a story that is nuts. I mean this movie asks the question "why is a raven like a writing desk?" It tells you to question authority and question what is "normal." I like that. It also throws in a bit of sibling rivalry and family dynamics. It shows how families sometimes view each other and how one sibling can be jealous of the other. I can relate because both of my siblings want to grow up to be me but I can't blame them.

I loved this movie. It was a great adventure and I really loved it in 3D. If you like crazy and are willing to let yourself be immersed in a story and just have fun then you will also love this movie. If you not ready to watch a movie of just nonsense and mysticism then you will hate this movie. You have to let yourself be taken away.(if you really want to know what I compare this to email or ask me and I will tell you, I just can't put it on this blog) Anyway because I think there is no middle ground on this film, I give it an A.

Mission Statement

You know when a new movie comes out and everyone says its great you have to see it and then you go and find out it blows worse than having some homeless guy take a shit next to your car and then break into your car to use some clothes you left in there to wipe his ass. (Trust me it happens.) Well this blog is to make sure that this never happens to you.  I will try to give you my honest opinion and let you know whether the movie is worth seeing or not.  And if the movie really sucks I will try and give you enough ammo to make fun of it to other people who are dumb enough to like it.

Rating Scale

BK(Bee's Knees): This is primarily reserved for classics like "The Godfather" I don't see any new releases making this grade any time soon.

A: This is for a great movie that is destined for my dvd collection and would see multiple times in theaters. They have that extra something that stands out.

B: This is for movies that are better than just good but they lack that "X" factor. These are ones that you see in the store and are like oh shit I really liked this movie and I forgot about it but now I need to buy it.

C: This is for movies that are just alright. They are predictable, simple and fun to watch but you were a little disappointed when you saw them. You were like damn that movie could've been better, I'm disappointed now. However, you still might put them in your dvd collection if someone gives it to you.

D: This is for movies that just suck. They are either not what you thought they would be or you got tricked or forced into going to see. These are extremely predictable and serve little entertainment. You have no interest in seeing it again and if someone gave it to you, you would defiantly try and sell it for beer money.

SB(Sucks Balls): This category is for movies that just really suck balls. This one, like the BK category, most movies wont fall into but I still have it for movies like "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" remember that movie, man it really sucked balls.
