Great minds think alike. I also gave it a B+.

There were some parts I wish they casted someone else instead of Mia W. since she didn't look "curious" enough to play Alice for me. But what the heck, if this is her stepping stone to fame, then so be it.

HAHAHA. When are we recording again??

she didn't look "curious" enough to play Alice for me.

Hmm, I think that was partly because they wanted her Alice to be more... grown up? Like Peter in Hook, as one who's kind of lost some of her imagination and all that. Like the Hatter said, "you've lost your muchness" haha!

But what the heck, if this is her stepping stone to fame, then so be it.

Haha! Well, she sure is pretty.

I didn't really like the movie. take-out ko lang, women empowerment, which I only got in the end of the movie. Yun pala a woman wrote the script, kaya pala! Haha! And it never explained why she couldn't remember being in Wonderland/Underland, why she kept dreaming it again and again but couldn't remember anything when she got there, etc.

I liked her clothes though. Natawa ako when the Hatter snipped her a pretty gorgeous dress! Dressmaker din pala siya! C;

I think how they presented that part was a bit subtler. Reminded me of Peter from Hook. Parang, Alice grew up, and maybe "lost" her imagination and curiosity in the process? Alice seems transitional kasi sa movie, in between childhood and adulthood talaga. Haha just my opinion.

Re: Clothes: Depp channeling Edward Scissorhands! HAHAHA!
