Movie 5 was the modern Alice in Wonderland. This is a sort of re-telling of the old movie but a sequel at the same time. Although I don't believe I've seen the first one from the comments my girlfriend was making it seems to follow the same story. It starts out with a girl who has too much imagination for those around her and she runs off and falls down a rabbit hole into a strange land. This was also directed by Tim Burton. I am usually not a fan of his little twisted dark charming stuff and thankfully this movie doesn't really contain anything that goth kind of sillyness. The scenery was my favorite part of this movie, from the twisted forests to the Queen of Red's castle and the way she has all the animal slaves and what they do. Speaking of the Queen of Red she is played by the lady that plays Marla Singer in Fight Club, she has a huge head and she likes to order the heads of other things to be removed. It's neat to see all of the little creatures and scenes in this movie because they aren't really you're stereotypical stuff or at least to me they weren't. A lot of people who inhabit Wonderland are proportionately challenged and most of them are kind of cool, except Johnny Depp's eyes. They made his eyes two sizes too big and it is the thing nightmares are made of. This is definitely a fun movie and I was pleasantly surprised, give it a peek.
