The Key To Alice’s Big Box Office… Timing…

The Key To Alice’s Big Box Office… Timing…

I predicted in my preview ten days ago that Alice in Wonderland would draw big box office. No, it wasn’t exactly a bold prediction, and it was clear to everyone that a lot of money was going to be spent on Alice. I don’t think, however, that anyone could have predicted just how much money [...]

Alice In Wonderland May Make $100 Million Weekend Haul

The early word of mouth on Disney’s latest, the live action Tim Burton directed Alice in Wonderland, was not overwhelmingly positive, and the curious news cycle of a possible cinema boycott in the UK and the US may have kept Alice in the news in the weeks running up to the film’s release yesterday, but [...]

Review: Alice In Wonderland

Review: Alice In Wonderland

Those expecting a straight up adaptation of the Wonderland novel will be disappointed, instead the trick here is to make this film a sequel of sorts and Burton has Alice on the verge of womanhood with only a few illusive memories of a place of talking caterpillars and floating cats, bolting at the first sign [...]

A Royal World Premiere: Alice in Wonderland

You may be forgiven for assuming that a rainy Thursday night, trapped in the beating heart of the tourist-clotted West End of London, would be a far from wondrous experience.  Ordinarily you would be right.  Tonight, however, was no ordinary Thursday, tonight Wonderland came to London Town!

Remakes of foreign language films are now, and have been for a long while, mainstays of the Hollywood output, and The Tourist, which is a remake of a 2005 thriller Anthony Zimmer about a tourist (see where they came up with the new name?) whose encounter with an Interpol agent put his life in danger, [...]
