I am seriously anticipating the march release of Tim Burton's latest team up with Johnny Depp, Alice in Wonderland. Just one look at this picture:
And who WOULDN'T be psyched to experience an acid trip simulated through the big screen. Colleen
Atwood, one of the whose who among costume designers these days, has had an undeniable eye for the oddly appropiate attire in many of Tim Burton's collabo's with Depp, such as "Sweeney Todd: The Demon of Barber of Fleet Street", "Big Fish", "Sleepy Hollow", and the cult classic "Edward Scissorhands." Of course, she jumped back on board with Burton for "Alice in Wonderland", which I'm not complaining about at all: props to the rest of the visual art departments (including hair and makeup) for helping put together this next Burton (hopeful) triumph. Seeing yet another bizarre and pleasently dark performance by Depp definitely doesn't bother me either; I don't see it getting old any time soon. Maybe I'm assuming too much (and well all know what happens when you ass-u-me) about a film that hasn't been released yet, especially since there has been plenty of disappointments over the past year. An impressive trailer and a bunch of hoop-la doesn't equal a great film. Either way, I'm betting it's going to be another eerie film worth watching.
Speaking of disappointments, take a second to vote in the poll over there on the right, "Biggest Let Downs: 2009" and tell me what you think. Remember that these, in my opinion, are the biggest disappointments, not that they are the worst films of 2009, although perhaps one or two of them would make my list anyway.

I'm really excited for this movie to come out! I'm really excited about the cast, especially that they got Alan Rickman, even if he'll probably only have a scant minute or two since he's the Caterpillar. Yay!
