Well, as you might have expected, I did go watch Alice again – this time without the 3D trappings. The colors were in fact noticeably deeper and richer, particularly in the flowers and other surroundings of Wonderland. It wasn’t day-glo 70s garishly colorful (which I nearly expected), but it was definitely an improvement. And a […]

Oh my gosh, I have lost track how many months I have been waiting for this movie! I am a huge–dare I say, rabid–fan of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. Both separately and together, these two have produced so many movies which I have loved…well, I’m not a huge fan of the Pee Wee movie, […]
