Alice Review
Alice in Wonderland came out today, and if you haven't seen it yet I'd recommend you do as soon as possible. I thought it was amazing! Helena and the rest of the actors did a fantastic job with their characters, the animation was beautiful, and Tim Burton did a good job with the story, I thought.
The list of great things about it goes on; Danny Elfman delivered a score that compliments the movie perfectly, as always, though I'm not sure how crazy I am about the Almost Alice soundtrack... But the instrumental tracks are lovely. The costumes were especially astounding-- Colleen Atwood is incredibly talented and I want her to make all of my clothes!
And, of course, Helena and Johnny continue to be brilliant and talented, but I don't want to give anything away about their performances. ;)
You should go out and see the movie, either in 3D or 2D (I am yet to see it in 3D, only 2D. If you saw it in 3D you should leave a comment with what you thought, did you think the 3D made it better? Should people make an effort to see it in 3D?)
The main complaint I've see in other reviews about Alice is regarding the story. (This may be considered a spoiler, so be warned) People expect the plot to be exactly like Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland, seeing as it has that title, but the plot is that of Through the Looking Glass. I don't think the movie should be judged off of the title or prior expectations the audience has, so I recommend you look passed the fact that it's Through the Looking Glass but called Alice in Wonderland. I assume that was Disney's decision as to make the greatest profits by giving it that title.
So just go and enjoy the characters, the familiar story with the Burton edge, and Helena's giant head.

Johnny Depp Surprises Sick Children At London Hospital

Shannon Moore - Celebrity News Service Reporter
London, England (CNS) - Johnny Depp dropped in to surprise sick children at the Great Ormond Street Hospital on Wednesday in London.
Much to everyone's surprise and delight, Depp dressed up as his "Pirates of the Caribbean" character Captain Jack Sparrow.
Depp visited several wards in the hospital and posed for pictures with the children and staff. It is the same hospital where Depp's 10-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, was treated for kidney failure in 2007.
Depp has been in London promoting his latest film "Public Enemies."
It isn't the first time Depp has gone out of his way for the hospital. He previously gave the hospital a hefty donation of $1.5 million as a way to thank them for taking such good care of Lily-Rose during her stay.
