We've got a documentary about Disney animators, a documentary of a young man who crosses the world to become a dancer, another Dreamworks CG animated "masterpiece" and an interesting looking thriller with the dumb blonde from Mean Girls. Oh yeah, and there's also a little epic you may have heard of that features a bunch of Titans clashing in all sorts of violent ways. In short, it's a pretty decent weekend to go to your local cinema. I would recommend checking out Waking Sleeping Beauty as well as Chloe. Train Your Dragon looks somewhat humorous, but it's difficult to tell based off the standard-fare trailer. Bluebeard seems like it would be an interesting film, but that one might be a little harder to find.

Of anything? What if the original was 1931's The Front Page and the remake was 1940's His Girl Friday? Or the original was 1931's Marked Woman and the remake was 1941's The Maltese Falcon? Or the original was 1938's The Three Musketeers and the remake was 1973's The Three Musketeers?

Loose description of the films coming out of a group of mostly NY-based indie filmmakers, notably Joe Swanberg, the Duplass brothers, Andrew Bujalski, Lynn Shelton, etc. They have an improvised feel a lot of times, reuse the same actors often, and tend to be about mundane circumstances and conversation-driven.

If you actually liked Alice in Wonderland, I'm curious to know why and what you have to say about the negative reviews.
Because I didn't walk in expecting anything like the original cartoon. That's what you have to do with Tim Burton movies... Actually, that's what you should do if you love movies in general. It wasn't the greatest piece of cinema but I was entertained.. Which is the main point I go to the movies for.
