5 Second Movie Review: Alice in Wonderland
Published: March 10, 2010
Look, sometimes we all need a silly movie about pretty people in pretty clothes amid pretty settings. But frequently, romantic comedies suffer from what one might call the Pretty Woman syndrome: sure, it’s fun while one watches it, but afterward one is left with the cold hard reality animating the story – what Rachel Leigh Cook’s character called, in the one good line in She’s All That, “that whole hooker thing.”
While not many of us can get to Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, we can see the official entries on the YouTube Screening Room’s Sundance Chanel. Since you can’t watch the Prop h8 trial, why not check out “Charlie and the Rabbit”? It’s about a little boy who watches a “Bugs Bunny” cartoon, and then sets off to find himself a wascally wabbit of his own.
Scarface – for adults.
Revolting Youth! Too many shirtless Michael Cera scenes.
Still, the dialogue was brilliant.
Orson Welles was an egomaniacal drama queen, you say? Whodathunk! A must-see flick for lovers of the old-timey B&W movies when radio was theater, theater was life and Hollywood was poised to conquer both. Set in the late 1930s when women wore skirts, men wore hats and everybody smoked indoors.
A Wheaties jingle, ukulele and matches figure prominently.
Cutesy period-piece euphemisms for courting and sex–

I would much rather see these two get it on than Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke. However, it was made abundantly clear that DR. WATSON IS GETTING MARRIED TO A LADY, SO NONE OF THIS IS REMOTELY GAY.

Fantastic Mr. Fox: Aptly named.
Count Blah-cula.

The Road is the best feel-good holiday movie since Munich.
It had Radha Mitchell and Rosamund Pike in it, so I had to watch it.
It also had the exact same amount of pandas in it as “Pandorum”. But slightly more alcohol.
Slightly disappointed that it doesn’t contain either pandas, alcohol, or pandas drinking alcohol.
Turns out, George does not like killing goats, and Ewan can be cast as a guy named “Bob”.
Lots of time in the desert.
Lots of goats.
A decent amount of funny quips by George.
A decent amount of LSD.
Who knew Barney could be as bad as waterboarding?
Not what I thought it would be like, but decently enjoyable. Maybe I just have a problem calling such a sexy lad like Ewan McGregor “Bob”.
St-inks.
Highly improbable, but not entirely impossible.
Incidentally, I don’t remember this image from the movie.
