Alice 1985

Dreamchild 1985

This is a drama that follows the life of an elderly (who is eighty years old) Alice who is now Mrs Hargreaves as she travels to the United States to receive an honorary degree from Columbia University celebrating the centenary of Lewis Carroll's birth.

Accompanied by a shy young orphan named Lucy, old Alice must navigate her way through the modern world of tabloid journalism and commercial exploitation and come to peace with her conflicted childhood with the whimsical and repressed Oxford don whose deep affection for her produced one of the most beloved classics of children's literature.

This is a DRAMA film, there is no jabberwocky but the one in the mind. There are no raving Queen of Hearts who shouts 'off with her head'. This is a story of what we must face later on in life. Regret, seeking forgiveness for past sins we felt we committed and forgiving those who had caused us pain. It is a story of a friendship between Alice and Charles Dodgson and who this friendship surpassed through the decades.

This is a rather old movie to find, the quality is not up to par because it was a low budget transfer from tape to DVD. I found my copy in a thrift store a few towns over and was lucky enough to make a duplicate just in case. It is a rare movie but not impossible to find you just need to want to look for it.

Ms Scrooge

A rather different retelling of the classic story THE CHRISTMAS CAROL. I LOVE LOVE this rather different if not unique retelling of the story. I encourage those that can find it on VHS to do so...there is no official DVD release just yet but hopefully if enough viewers enjoy it, they will get wise and then release it officially. Which would be a dream for me ! ^_^

This retelling i think is special, for it has no great special effects but the acting speaks for itself. There is one special effect however when Ms Scrooge former friend/employer appears on the computers monitor. It is subtle but awesome in it's spookiness XD

Eye of the Killer

Eye of the Killer 1/10

NOTE: SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT SOME DO NOT UNDERSTAND OTHERWISE e.e I KNOW THAT THE AUDIO IS OFF. I am getting better though it is by a second! XD

Eye of the Killer also known as After Alice is a film that uses a lot of Alice key elements. A detective down on his luck after his biggest case. The jabberwocky serial killer. I LOVE this movie ever since I first saw it on TV. For years I hunted it down but the thing was ..when it was released on DVD it was given another name. As most movies were that were literally unheard of. When I saw it ..the movie was called AFTER ALICE. Which held more true to the movie elements such as Alice being killed and there was a Jabberwocky murderer. When it was released on DVD it was called Eye of the Killer...again used a very light key element of the movie. The detective is given second sight after chasing a 'white rabbit' and falling down a 'rabbit hole' and hit his head.

There is death in this movie but no gore nor blood that I noticed. It is a thriller tale of the kind and can be viewed easily in the PG 13 rating. To me that rings true that less is more. But do not get me wrong I do love a good gore-fest from time to time. But a detective movie really has no place with that.

I encourage to buy this movie for your collection. Easily at half.ebay.com it is three bucks. Anywhere else... easily 3-5 dollars a pop. Really not a bad deal at all including shipping and handling.

Snow White A Tale of Terror

This really puts a more Grimm aspect of the classic fairytale. There are no singing dwarves, no 'true love' first kiss. And the wicked queen well is not only wicked BUT is human. Her deceipt into the swirls of depression, maddness and vengence is utterly human. It makes her more of a tragic character then a monster that other versions make her out to be. I ADORE this movie, it is a gothic feel to it as it always should have been told.

Don't get me wrong, I have at least seven versions of this classic fairytale.. and a growing collection that I enjoy time and time again. Yes it is available on dvd and yes I STRONGLY recommend you either purchase through your local retail store, ebay, or find it at amazon.com where i found it at an EXTREMELY reasonable price. ^_^ Oh and if you are a member of ColumbiaHouse.com they have it in their selection as well, along with Netflix.com. Yes this is a spooky film but there is hardly any bloodshed or gore, just good old spookiness. However little ones should watch with an older companion or wait until they are at least ten years of age. At least to understand the story a bit more. In either case... ENJOY.
