Tim Burton-Johnny Depp Combo Comes in Colors and Whimsy, but Lacks Tensionnew
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is everything you hoped it would be. Plants with human faces, checkerboard landscapes, forced perspective, day-glo colors and macabre pranks abound in his recasting of Lewis Carroll's classic as a warped tale of Victorian-age feminist empowerment.

Lost Down the Rabbit Hole: Tim Burton's Hesitant 'Alice in Wonderland'new
Messing with classics is dangerous business. The fact that Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland isn't a straight retelling of the Lewis Carroll books might be motivated, as stated, by a desire to give the tale more narrative heft, but it also feels like a pulled punch.

Post-Apocalyptic 'Stitchpunk' Goes Limp in '9'
At barely 80 minutes, 9 still feels too long for what it is; an expanded visual experimentation that might allow Shane Acker to finally put an old UCLA student project behind him.

Strange Lovenew
While Corpse Bride is visually arresting and exceptionally witty, the characters and story are curiously uninvolving, and the movie’s scant 75-minute length, though time well spent, seems much more protracted.
