My review of Alice in Wonderland (Spoiler Free)

Posted on Saturday, March 6, 2010 by Avitable

I’m not sure what to say about this movie. I’ll start with the visuals. It was beautiful. A perfect Tim Burton world, realized down to every little detail. I could watch full scenes without paying attention to the dialogue and … Continue reading →

The shallow movie critic II

Posted on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 by Avitable

Back in June, I did the first “shallow movie critic” post. The premise is simple: Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover? I’ll demonstrate the fallacy of that statement by writing completely accurate movie synopses based solely … Continue reading →

My review of The Time Traveler’s Wife (Spoiler Free)

Posted on Saturday, August 15, 2009 by Avitable
