| While nothing beats the original version, Tim Burton’s remake is eerily different, yet still magical.
Originally I watched this back in 2005 and decided I hated it, but recently I was able to re-watch it through Freeform. Having an older mind, helped me see that though it is slightly hard to get through Johnny Depp’s creepy Michael Jackson persona, this movie really was not half bad. In fact, I rather enjoyed it the second-time-around. |

| Once again, creepy Tim Burton brings the dead back to life with a film adaptation of the Broadway musical hit.
If you want to watch an opera filled with guts and gore, you have certainly come to the right place. This movie has it all! |

| My Thoughts: | ||
| This Alice in Wonderland live action-re-make, is all things epic.
From the Tim Burton dark cinematography, to the amazing acting by an all-star cast, this movie is sure to impress. It’s not every day that Alice finds herself in Wonderland, twice. |

| My Thoughts: | ||
| Personally, I had not even wanted to attempt to watch this movie until posting this blog, and for good reason. Long story short, this is probably the most disappointing Tim Burton movie ever. But I am sure there has to be someone pout there who enjoyed it. Give it a whirl and form your own opinion! | ||
