Alice in Wonderland Trailer
So, another film with the dynamic duo. Yes! Depp an Burton. Although I felt their last collaboration was BLAH. This left a better taste in my mouth.

I don’t need to go into any great length about the film. You all have either read Lewis Caroll’s novel. Or watched the original Disney classic. As Alice is transported to this land of wonder. She battles many things. Thoughts, feelings, jabberwocky and countless other underlying themes. Befriended by mad hatters, rabbits and Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum. This fantasy is brilliantly brought to life by Tim Burton. Thanks to the effects of Dolby 3-D. This film is a stunning moving portrait. Although I won’t watch it again. I give a 3 pot brownie

Law abiding citizen Trailer

You want action, demented kills and nail biter suspense. This has the majority of that. At times I found the film to have a similar feel to “Seven”. But, not as good.

When Clyde’s (Gerard Butler) family is murdered in front of him. He yields to Nick (Jamie Foxx) to put the killers away for life. When a deal is reached. And the murderer is set free after short jail sentence. Clyde takes justice into his own hands. Set out to bring the entire justice system to its knees. Clyde finds himself behind bars. But, what baffles Nick. Is the fact that Clyde is still able to reek havoc on the players involved in the case.

Although the film is entertaining. Somewhat creative. The ending is horrible. This a film for individuals who like action films. Don’t expect much more than that. I give this mild

The Ghost Writer Trailer
While some and I mean most. Hail the works of Roman Polanski. This is not the film to bow to. This is no “Chinatown”.

When “The Ghost” (Ewan MacGregor) is tasked with completing the memoirs of former British Prime minister Adam Lang (Pierce Brosnan). While Ghost is wisked away to a island somewhere on Americas eastern seaboard. He is confined to that island and kept under close eye. As the former P.M. is alleged to have committed war crimes. The media is in a frenzy to bring Adam Lang to Justice. This untimely event puts the Ghost under further pressure to finish the book to capitalize on this worldwide news coverage. But, as the Ghost gets further into the process. He soon discovers some rather peculiar and uncanny clues to why his predecessor was found dead on the shore. The one reason why The Ghost was brought in to finish the memoirs. What he discovers has far more international repercussions than one can imagine. The Ghost now finds himself in a cat and mouse game with who knows who.

Although this film could have been great. The acting was painfully flat. No emotion. Where emotion was a key character. Sorry Roman. Your day may have passed. Wait for video.
