Alice is now 19 years old and returns to Wonderland but has no memory of the place or anyone, will it all come back to her in the end? Will she fulfill her destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. She reunites with all of the characters from her childhood adventure which she believed was a dream. Could the Mad Hatter convince her that it was not a dream and in fact real?
The up and coming release of Alice in Wonderland will be the 7th collaboration between director Tim Burton and actor Johnny Depp. They keep putting out amazing films, with Depp putting in brilliant performances. We see it a lot when certain directors keep working with the same actors and putting out very good films, so once an actor finds a director who can bring out the best in them is it best for them to keep collaborating? I think so. Depp and Burton are a prime example of creating good films together which are wacky, wild and often random.

I have been looking forward to Alice in Wonderland since hearing that Tim Burton would be making the film. I love Tim Burton films as they are always very different to anything you have seen before. The film is due for release on Friday and I am very much hoping that I can get to see it on Friday.
Earlier this week we had the Odeon cinema change announcing that they would not be showing the much anticipated film because Disney plan to release the DVD 12 weeks after the cinema release instead of the usual 17 weeks. I found this very strange that Odeon were willing to lose out on so much money by not showing the film and letting their usual customers got o other cinema chains. This didn’t really effect myself as I am a Cineworld customer. Cineworld is actually opening the film on a massive release with hundreds of screens across the country. Odeon changed their mind and decided to release the film this Friday. It really does look like its going to have a big box office taking.
Michael Sheen appeared on the Graham Norton show a week or so ago now. I must first say that I love Graham Norton and have been a fan of his for such a long time now, he asks questions that other talk show hosts could not get away with and getting them to do random things. Any way Michael Sheen was a guest and even done an impression of graham. They talked about his recent appearance in New Moon as Aro and the impact that this could have on his career, this lead me to think about Michael Sheen . . .
Another new poster for the much anticipated Alice in Wonderland movie has been released this one featuring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. This is my favorite poster so far, but I think more will be released.
Onto another weeks review!

Katie at the Stories That Really Mattered posted about Jim Carrey being an underrated actor
MadHatter at Dark of the Matinee made an interesting post about Movie Snobs
After seeing the new posters and mentioning seeing the trailer at the cinema the other day in 3D. I decided to go on a search on youtube to find the trailer and post in on my blog. I really do just love Johnny Depp the more and more I see him. I do find this trailer very teasing as you do not really get to see much (which is a plus) but it really leaves you wanting more.
What do you make of this trailer?
Are you looking forward to this movie?
Two more posters have been released for Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”. So the build up continues for what has to be one of the movies I really cannot wait to see. Especially after seeing the trailer before “A Christmas Carol” the other day.
Power of Film: Has stated the 10 movies they think are most anticipated for 2010. I thought I would give my opinion on whether I think they are my most anticipated . . .
10. “The Book of Eli”
I think anything with Denzel in should be on a most anticipated list.
9. “Remember Me”
Robert Pattinson . . . I guess that is all you need to say and millions of teenage girls will be running to see this movie. A romantic drama set in New York, can’t be too bad.
8. “Prince of Persia”
I am still undecided whether or not I am looking forward to this or not. Jake Gyllenhaal is a very good actor, so it maybe very good.
7. “The Green Hornet”
I love comic book adaptation movies, so yes I am looking forward to this one. Has a very strong cast as well, with Seth Rogan and Cameron Diaz among the stars.
6. “The Expendables”
Another movie with loads of stars in the cast, Sylvester Stallone infront and behind the camera means it is going to have action in it. Biggest draw for myself with this movie has to be Jason Statham !!!
5. “A Nightmare of Elm Street”
In all honesty I do not care about this movie. I am not a real fan of the horror genre/slasher movies, I just don’t get why you want to go and watch loads of blood being splattered everywhere.
4. “The Last Airbender”
Well I had not even heard of this movie until coming across this list, so I cannot really comment on it.
3. “Iron Man 2”
Now here is a movie I have been looking forward too since Iron Man finished in the cinema last year when I went to see it. Even more so when Mickey Rourke was thrown into the equation. This is going to be next year’s biggest hit, I reckon!
2. “Harry Potter and the deathly Hallows, Part 1”
Not a big Potter fan and have not seen the last two movies, so I guess if I watch them before this comes out I might venture to see it.
1. “Alice in Wonderland”
Yes, yes and yes. Definatly on my must see list for next year . . . Tim Burton is back and yes he has brought Johnny and his wife Helena back together again.
So as I said before this is not my list, it is my views on Power of Film’s list.
My list will be coming very soon . . . maybe even later today if you are lucky!
