I thought this film was great! It was the first film I saw on iMax 3D!!! Loved it! It was fun to see this movie as I didn't know what it was about and what to expect. It had me wondering what was going to happen next. Yeah, I know...and admit that I've never seen or read the previous TV/Film adaptations of Alice in Wonderland nor read the books. I've only heard the title and that it was a popular children's book...so it was fun watching this film and knowing/hearing about it as I watch along. The cast were great especially the newcomer actress Mia Wasikowska, who played the title character, Alice. Johnny Depp was hilarious as "Mad Hatter", Anne Hathaway was good too and ghostly looking as the "White Queen", and Helena Bonham Carter was pretty good and funny as the villain "Red Queen" and sister to AH's White Queen.

Overall, Alice in Wonderland was a great film. A fun, family movie where you can bring everyone (family and friends) along to see it with you. It was great seeing it on iMax 3D too. I loved and enjoyed watching it. I highly recommend you see this, if you haven't yet. It is now available on DVD and Blu-ray for you to either buy or rent or netflix.

My Alice in Wonderland Film Rating: ! (10/10; A+)

Film Review: The Proposal

Image
I saw this movie twice. First on its opening day at night with friends and the next day with my mother. I love Sandra Bullock ! She's one of my favorite actresses and I've seen pretty much every movie that she has released. I love her movies and I knew I'll love this one too. Also, I like or should I say now, I love Ryan Reynolds ! Hehe... I've seen him in Just Friends (he was very funny in that movie), Definitely, Maybe (he was good in that movie with Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz , and Elizabeth Banks , but the movie was alright), and one of the recent blockbuster hit, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (He was fierce in that movie, lol). For this movie, I know I wanted to see it and have waited so long to see this, but I didn't expect too much 'cause when I do (even with my favorite actors in it), I often get disappointed when a movie I've waited and wanted to see for so long didn't match my excitement and expectations. So, I went and saw this movie with my...

British TV Period Dramas

Image
Before I started watching (and getting hooked on) Spanish Telenovelas , Korean Dramas , TW-Dramas , and Filipino TV Dramas , I loved watching British TV Period Dramas and I still do. I've seen a lot. Though I have not been watching a lot lately, but I still follow and watch at least a few of them whenever I can. Here are 20 British Period TV Dramas that I've seen and compiled here...

Celebrity Look-Alikes

Image
Is it just me? or are you seeing what I'm seeing? ... you know, doubles (or make that triple-doubles in the first set of doubles' pics below ...) or look-alikes among the following famous celebrities, some of them happen to be my favorite actors. These celebs are often mistaken looking like the other and vice versa. Some have actually either met or worked together, while others have yet to meet or cross paths. Don't they all look-alike? Check out their pics below and see for yourself! First of...

In Comparison: Keira Knightley (Pride & Prejudice) vs. Winona Ryder (Little Women)

Image
Ever thought about Keira Knightle y and Winona Ryder as the same person (that you mistake them in their movies?) or looking eerie similar at least look-wise? I'm sure some of you have seen some of their many pictures on magazines and movies that you can't help but noticed they look so similar (we can even add Natalie Portman here, but these two look far more similar, lol). If so, you'll see or rather noticed a lot of similarities between these two beautiful and talented actresses. Take for instance, Keira as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice and Winona Ryder as Josephine March in Little Women, both period movies and both earned them Oscar Nominations for Best actress (in their early 20s too). Here's a comparison between them, I first posted this a while back at the P&P forum (as I own both movies on DVD), I found some very interesting similarities not only with actresses Keira Knightley and Winona Rider eerie physical resemblance (their poses...

Film Review: PRECIOUS: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire.

Image
I saw Precious this weekend, on its 3rd weekend and expansion of theaters (only 629 and has so far grossed to almost $15M in its 15 days this week...very impressive considering it only played limited on its opening weekend debut, much like the small expansion, and its small widest release of 629 theater locations) nationwide as it finally was showing in my local theaters. I've been waiting and looking forward to seeing this film since I heard this movie was being filmed and Mariah Carey (my favorite singer) was cast in a small role as Mrs. Weiss . Also, I've read the novel "Push" by Sapphire this movie was based from. Like Oscar's Best Picture winner Slumdog Millionaire , Precious (the lil' Independent film) has been getting tons of standing O's and rave reviews as well as won several Audience Awards in various film festivals such as Sundance, Toronto, and Chicago Film festivals to name a few. So, I've been following this film and got so excit...
