Tick tock…it’s time for a sequel! Alice in Wonderland did so well, so naturally Disney hit the library and grabbed the next book in the series, Alice Through the Looking Glass. Synopsis? Synopsis!
In Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” an all-new spectacular adventure featuring the unforgettable characters from Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories, Alice returns to the whimsical world of Underland and travels back in time to save the Mad Hatter. Directed by James Bobin, who brings his own unique vision to the spectacular world Tim Burton created on screen in 2010 with “Alice in Wonderland,” the film is written by Linda Woolverton based on characters created by Lewis Carroll and produced by Joe Roth, Suzanne Todd and Jennifer Todd and Tim Burton with John G. Scotti serving as executive producer. “Alice Through the Looking Glass” reunites the all-star cast from the worldwide blockbuster phenomenon, including: Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska and Helena Bonham Carter along with the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. We are also introduced to several new characters: Zanik Hightopp (Rhys Ifans), the Mad Hatter’s father and Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen), a peculiar creature who is part human, part clock.
Alice Kingsleigh (Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London, she comes across a magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland and her friends the White Rabbit (Sheen), Absolem (Rickman), the Cheshire Cat (Fry) and the Mad Hatter (Depp), who is not himself. The Hatter has lost his Muchness, so Mirana (Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock which powers all time. Returning to the past, she comes across friends – and enemies – at different points in their lives, and embarks on a perilous race to save the Hatter before time runs out. Presented in Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D, Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass” opens in U.S. theaters on May 27, 2016.
And yes, you read that correctly; the late but always beloved Alan Rickman voices a character. So, do you want passes? Or shall we just have some tea?
I’ve always wanted to hit Dragon-Con. Heck, I’d like to get up off it and hit New York Comic-Con. Why? Because these cons hit later in the year, after con season typically packs up and starts prepping for next year. But I’d rather stick closer to home if I’m able. I’m lazy, and I like to drag my ill-gotten goods home without getting an unromantic pat down by airport security. (Seriously; buy a girl a latte first y’all.)
Where my WoW people at? Because I’ve got passes to the movie adaptation – Warcraft! Synopsis!
The more things change, the more things stay the same; X-Men: First Class may be set in the 60’s, but it’s themes of war and prejudice, along with it’s call for tolerance, are still relevant today. What makes this movie more than just another comic book story is how they take these ideas and weave them into a truly entertaining film. Hey, they even make the old blue-and-yellow suits look classy.
Good morning! You certainly look nice today. Me too? Well, isn’t that nice. Y’know what else is nice? Free passes. And I’ve got ’em for the new Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling joint, The Nice Guys. Synopsis!
They’re back for more illusions*, and this time they’re teaming up with Harry Potter! Okay, Daniel Radcliffe. But boom, right? Synopsis!
You know ’em. You love ’em. They drive you crazy because C’MON I JUST NEED ONE MORE MOVE… Ahem. Anyway, the birds and pigs are coming to the big screen, and I’ve got passes. But first? Synopsis!
