Alice in Wonderland

**

       After being disappointed with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I wasn't expecting much from Alice in Wonderland, and that's exactly what I got.  I neither liked or disliked the film, it was too long or at least felt too long.  The performances were fine, nothing spectacular.  Anne Hathaway's character really annoyed me though, in a film that takes place in a weird fantasy world her character is overly odd/creepy.

If you liked Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate factory you'll probably enjoy this, otherwise I say skip it.

Brooklyn's Finest

**

       I was really looking forward to Brooklyn's Finest, I loved the cast and the trailer really grabbed me.  Unfortunately the film let me down.  The biggest problem was that the film follows three different story lines, and never gets to delve deep enough into any of them.  Each storyline followed a cop at a specific stage in his career, only one of which (the Richard Gere story) was interesting.

If the film could have focused on one story it could have been really good, unfortunately it is a mediocre film at best.
