Alice in Underland


You read that right, according to ign, I don't think we're in Wonderland anymore. Not only is the name different (Very misleading too, especially considering the name of the film) other things are too.

They go on to saw that the film is unimaginative and does not feel real. You can tell that the characters are CGI, because they act as such.

Apparantly the main actress, Mia Wasikowska has little personality and offers little to the film. Johnny Depp is said not to be on his A game, but Helena Bonham Carter is said to be the saving grace.

The reviewer stated that one should just watch the film in 2-D to save money, the visual effects were not s good as once hoped.

I will need to provide my own conclusions once the film drops on Friday, March 5.

The film received 2.5 out of 5.

I Missed You

I missed you, reading. I finally began to read again. Have I ever missed it.

The first book in my "return" is French Kiss, a book that describes the intricate and confusing relationship of anglophone and francophone Canada and their interations with eachother.

The Chronicles of Narnia, Tar Sands, and many other books will have to be read as well.

The Harry Potter series will be reread this summer, as soon as I can find The Goblet of Fire and The Order of the Phoenix.

I missed you, reading.

Decisions, decisions.

Where do I go for school? London or Toronto?

London is the cheaper route, probably about half the cost. But London is a small, idealistic suburbia, it does not seem natural. Parts of London are just too fake, and almost too slow for me.

Toronto is a gritty, dirty metropolis. I like that. Its fast moving and real. But it will be far more expensive.

Decisions, decisions.
