Fun and Mental Changes

So! There have been a few pivotal bonding moments between me and my sister over the years. 1) When I saved her life from a pending scorpion attack. 2) When we stayed up all night playing Super Mario Brothers. 3) When we saw Road Trip in the theater. AND 4) When we went to see Hot Tub Time Machine... oh, wait, that hasn't happened yet! hahaha ! I'm going out on a limb here and saying that this is going to be the MUST SEE MOVIE event of the year. Not only does it star one of the best known heart throbs of the 80's, Mr. John Cusack , but the premise of the film is (DARE I SAY?) BRILLIANT!!!! The movie is set back in the 80's, probably THE SINGLE BEST DECADE EVER, which leads me to believe that the soundtrack ALONE is going to be worth the price of admission. Did I mention that 80's heart throb John Cusack is in this??? Those who have seen Better Off Dead know EXACTLY why this is significant. Where was I? OH! And the plot line is hysterical with four grown men going ba...

It hits me that the ***Spoiler Alert*** may not apply here. Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass have been around foreva! But, to cover anyone who HASN'T read those stories or seen this film, please know that I'm going to give away some stuff here that COULD ruin someone's movie-going experience. So, what I'm saying here is, if you haven't seen Alice In Wonderland yet (which I think you TOTALLY SHOULD) and don't want anything "spoiled", quit reading right here. OMG!!! What a great movie!!! And the special effects were INCREDIBLE!!! Even the set design and wardrobe were AMAZING! Whoever cast this movie did a FANTASTIC JOB, except.... I really felt that the entire character of the White Queen did nothing for the movie. While the character is present in Through The Looking Glass (and establishes the story's 'Chess Game'), that character in the film irritated me. Anne Hathaway gave a LOUSY performance,...

WHEN!!!!??? UGH!!!!! I want to see this movie soooo bad and have been hearing that it is going to be released since 2005! I can honestly say though, that my hopes are up this time. I checked the Internet Movie Database and saw promotional pix for the first time... yay! And they have also updated the release date to 2010. The last time I checked, the release date was 2008. Maybe, just maybe it's finally happening!?! I love the game and know that the movie is going to be every bit as good (has to be with all the time that they're putting into it!). I would SO love to know who's going to be The Cheshire Cat !!! I have loved Alice in Wonderland stories my whole life and own 4 versions of the movie.... yes, including the Disney animated feature ! I cannot wait to add this version to my collection. A scary verson of Alice in Wonderland.... I'm not really into scary movies, but am totally into Alice in Wonderland... oh, this is going to be great! We are all mad here!
