One Good Thing

I finally caught Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland on Starz today. Not his best effort, and I say that as an avid Burton fan. It felt...empty to me, and the battle scene at the end fell short of the mark. But I did enjoy certain aspects about the film. The look is, of course, gorgeous, from costumes to sets. Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp are both very good, though I found myself wishing they had developed the Red Queen more. Given her even more scenery to chew. Bonham Carter is more than up to the challenge. All in all, it was a nice bit of Saturday afternoon eye candy.
