ReflectionOf.Me

I am a big fan of the Alice in Wonderland since my childhood. I love the books, the cartoons, the toys- basically everything about Alice. I had been waiting for this film since his first announcement in 2008, so it was natural that I expected a lot from Tim Burton and the remaining crew, after the wonderful Sweeney Todd and the insuperable Big Fish, which for me is the best Tim Burton work so far.

"There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger! Some say to survive it: You need to be as mad as a hatter." The Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp)

More than appreciating Tim Burton's visually stunning sequel to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, I couldn't stop thinking how perfectly Johnny Depp plays the Mad Hatter: The infamous character is clearly disturbed but a good heart dedicated to stopping the bad heart, big-headed Red Queen, played with relish by Helena Bonham Carter. Depp is one actor who could do six impossible things before breakfast.

I know there are many reasons I liked this film. So you should watch it...

"You're freaking out, aren't you? You're totally freaking out. You're like running for the door."

Garden State is one of the most thought provoking movies I have seen in a long time. The Movie had a strong plot but simple and there was a few good laughs mixed with some sad and emotional moments the movie is a mixture of comedy, drama and romance, and with clever directing, camera angles, style over substance, and honest acting from even the actors in small roles, with real life situations and stereotypes the youth of today.

The acting in The movie Garden state was believable and not over done you could relate to the characters Sam (Natalie Portman), Andrew Largerman (Zach Braff) the characters played good parts and it was realistic acting, the acting made you feel as though that they weren't acting.

The Darjeeling Limited is a good film with both comedy and drama, a mix I very well like. The Darjeeling limited is a story of 3 brothers and there journey across India in search of spirituality and there mother.

Wes Anderson has a unique way of telling this story through original ideas and new structure, both of which should be praised. This makes for an interesting story which contains both humor and drama. The comedy isn't over the top and allows for some touching dramatic moments throughout the story. As the story moves past the comedy and into the drama and emotional theme the audience is given a glimpse of the deeper more dramatic part of the film. There are glimpses of personal feelings that show a much deeper and human side to the comical characters.

Supringly good, funny and original. Guy kills himself and awakes in the grey dilapidated world of the suicides, where everything is just like earth but a little worse, after learning of his girlfriend's suicide he sets out on a cross country mission to find her. I didn't like the end, but up till that point it was one of most enjoyable things I had seen all year. Tom Waits appears in the film as a major character, and provides some of the soundtrack.

Waking Life is a truly unique bit of filmmaking - more or less an animated, non-linear, organic dream state. There have been a handful of films throughout time that could actually transcend the screen as you watched them. What I mean to say is, to witness something that is more than just film, more than just a story with a theme and characters. Waking Life is one of these special films; it is a series of powerful ideas placed into a beautifully painted package.

Forget about gender arguments, gays, lesbians..whatever. It's a great movie, end of story. This is one of the most inventive, well directed and acted, beautifully crafted pieces of film you will ever seen. If you're into wonderful rock music from the 70's, glam and punk rock and actually a good story with lots of depth to boot, don't miss the chance to check out this movie. Hat's off to John Cameron Mitchell and the amazing work of Stephen Trask on the music.

Today I was at the cinema for watching Up in The Air and in the break time I saw the fragments of The Beach and I decided to watch this film again at home...

The beach is a great adaptation of the novel. It genuinely captures the naturalistic themes expressed by Garland. It also incredibly captures the feel of the generation it appeals to, the late-teens/early-twenties crowd.

This film is definitely worth your time. The setting, cinematography, and action is amazing! The soundtrack is great too.Watch it again!

I really had high expectations for this film, it looked funny and different. When I sat down to watch it in the cinema the opening 10 minutes looked good...then it went downhill. Don't trust trailers (i've said that before but never listened to myself!), all the mildly amusing parts of this film is stuck in the trailer and made to look funnier than it is. What annoyed me more about this film was that they tried to make it unpredictable, but by doing this they only made it more predictable thus making viewers actually wanting it to be predictable. One of the only things about this film that makes it good was George Clooneys performance. Wait for the DVD and watch it at home.
