Preview: Malice in Wonderland (2010)

Synopsis:

A modern twist on the Alice in Wonderland story follows a young woman as she tries to escape a dastardly casino owner.

• Poster: B-

Review:

There are so many cheesy elements to the poster that it's almost interesting. The colors aren't oppressive or bland, and the images afford the viewer a large view of the whole of the film.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

After the dreadful Tim Burton failure this year, any twist on the story deserves consideration and I've always been fascinated by films that try to modernize period stories. I wonder what Gone With the Wind would be like set during the Great Depression or the Great Recession. But that's a musing for a different day.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• April 16, 2010
