Alice & Movies!

WOW.
A long-need update!

So I saw Alice in Wonderland (the Tim Burton version, of course) on opening night.
My thoughts? The scenery was really beautiful, and really reflected the kind of dark/haunting/yet beautiful Tim Burton feel... I was SO excited when the Mad Hatter appeared at the Tea Party! Johnny Depp played the role so well. The ending part with slaying the Jabberwocky was a bit... overdone and unneccessary... I mean, the battle scene as the climax has been done so many times before. But I really liked the movie's actual ending, with the Smoking Caterpillar turning into a butterfly! Overall, I really enjoyed it. I think I will buy Alice on DVD when it comes out! Alice's futterwacken [sp?] dance at the end was such a funny sign of rebellion x] There is so much Alice merchandise now; I really want a new Alice t-shirt...





So I've been watching movies after getting home from school. Movies DO take up alot of time, but I usually come home and waste time on the Internet anyway... "An Education" is such an amazing movie!! From the beginning to the end, everything was so perfect, and I love Jenny's accent. What else can I say... you HAVE to watch it. It reminded of me of Lolita, Breakfast At Tiffany's, and (500) Days Of Summer... :) Carey Mulligan is so pretty! With her short hair, she almost looks like Mia Wasiakowska...





And I finally watched "Spirited Away" for the FIRST TIME today. Yeah... I've never seen it before! I kept on putting it off for some reason; I meant to watch it during the summer... well. Chihiro and Haku are so cute. I love her voice actress! No wonder everyone loves this film. It's just so, so... classic. The pigs were kinda disturbing though... they reminded me of "Animal Farm." And have you noticed that there's always a fat, blubbery sloppy creature in Miyazaki films? Like... the witch in Howl's Moving Castle and No-Face when he eats all the people... but anyways, Hayao Miyazaki films are always pretty amazing. Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, etc! Maybe I'll go on a movie binge...





SATs on Saturday.
Then comes shopping and fun stuff. I can't wait.

I love "The Perks of Being a Wallflower."

You Electrify My Life

Listening to Black Holes & Revelations...

I went on a music-binge! (and miracously finished half of my AP English assignment!)

1. "Vanished" and "Untrust Us" ~Crystal Castles
2. "Forever Lost" ~The Magic Numbers
3. "Unintended" ~Muse
4. "When The Night Feels My Song" ~Bedouin Soundclash
5. "Feel The Love" ~Cut Copy (In Ghost Colours... creative album name?)
6. "Run Run" ~Those Dancing Days
7. "Fuzzy Blue Lights" ~Owl City
8. "Ghosts" ~Laura Marling (she's like... a younger version of Kate Nash! Watch out for a parody of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody around 0:48... Ghosts)

Yay! All pretty brilliant and different!

I heard "Alice Practice" by Crystal Castles awhile back and thought it was awful, but oddly, I listened to it again today and I was sad the song was over... (But it's still pretty mediocre-noise-screech-electronica-ish) Then they just got cooler when I discovered their lead singer's name was Alice Glass.



Oh, I discovered you could also spell "Alice" like "Aliss"...

Bonjour

Hi!

It's really cool to see other people's blogs... but I never really made one 'til now, 'cause I usually keep a real journal... But my friend told me to make one, so here it is!

(Alice-themed!)

I wonder what I'll write here... maybe more like Internet-music-cool-links type of stuff since I can't put that in my other journal! This reminds me of Xanga a bit... I remember I used to post stuff there, but now I lost my username and all that stuff... It's like... Xanga renewed!

I think I'll finish making my mum's friendship bracelet now... Au revoir!
