Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Interseting and enjoyable
Well I will say that this is certainly a different version, but the more I've watched it the more little details that I've noticed. The most interesting being the Hatter's eyes. I first noticed it when my kids and I were watching it at home. When he starts yelling at the Cheshire Cat right after Alice arrives his eyes turn almost the color of his hair, and the next shot, after the others yell his name, they're back to green. The longest shot of them that way is at the end when he has Stayne at sword point as Alice kills the Jaberwocky. Just about every time he starts talking in that Scotch accent of his they change his eye color. The most noticeable time they don't is when he and Alice are going to see the White Queen and he's reciting the parts of the poem Jaberwocky to her.
One of the other things are the flowers, if you've seen the Disney animated one recently look at the flowers when she first arrives. They really do look like some of the ones from the animated version. Most of the similarities are in the background characters, the ones that you might not notice on first viewing.
All in all its a very entertaining movie, It just takes a couple times watching it to get all the little bits, and jokes.
Tin Man (2007)
not an update so much as a continuation
I absolutely enjoyed this series, and will be watching for it on DVD. If you watch the whole thing you get where its coming from and how DG and Dorothy Gale are connected. That moment only comes in the last 30 min or so of the final episode though when she finds out what the Grey gale is. I found it fun to watch how the other characters not just DG changed over the course of the show. Cain, I think, makes the most obvious one with Raw a close second. Cain goes form being consumed by revenge to being committed to protecting DG. She thaws him out so that he can except the revelations that he finds out as they continue on. Raw finds his courage in a rather violent way and takes a step to who he used to be. The only reason that I can't give this a 10 is that they needed to put more at the end than they did. Like what did Cain do to Zero after the battle. He said that they'd come back for him but that leave you hanging. also they should have put in what happens to DG, Cain, Raw and 'Glitch' after wards. Do they 'go back' to what they used to do or do they take on new jobs? But still a very good movie.
Moonlight (2007)
interesting and fun
I love this show. A lot of people are going off on the lack of humor and how serious Mick is. Well he explains that at the end of the first episode, one of the last lines "...monsters don't get happily ever after." He really believes he is a monster by being a vampire. He was turned with out any warning, and possibly for selfish reasons,by his bride and he lost everyone he'd known at the same time. A good bit of the story line is about him realizing that he might be wrong about that fact. Like when Beth discovers his 'secret', he thinks she'll be afraid of him and he won't be able to keep an eye on her let alone help her anymore. She's the first human he's let matter to him in 60 yrs. He's learning to trust other people again and women in particular. So he's not going to be bouncing off the walls and acting like he's got no problems. I just hope that the series get picked up for a second season it'd be interesting to see how Mick changes over time.
M*A*S*H (1972)
one of the greatest shows made!
I am so glad they have re released MASH on DVD. I can remember watching the show every night as a kid and was sad when it went off the air. I n my mind It is one of the best shows ever written, the funny thing is that I can hardly stand the movie though. As I watch the reruns I'm finding episodes that I have no memory of, a pleasant surprise. One of the 'new' story lines is the developing relationship between Hawkeye and Margret, as a kid I laughed at them getting stranded together but don't remember much else so its interesting to watch them. One of my favorite examples is the episode titled 'Aide Station'. Hawkeye, Hot Lips and Klinger end up sent to an aide station thats short handed and end up with a totally new view of each other. I think this is the first time we see the serious side of Kilinger that is the norm after he takes over for Raidar. All in all Its a shame that It went off the air but I'm glad that its back for us to enjoy and to introduce others too who missed it the first time round.
