My Review: There’s really not a whole lot for me to say about this trailer. By now, you must know if you like the story of Alice in Wonderland and if you like the movies Tim Burton creates. So if you already know you like both, then you know you want to see this movie. I, for one, can’t wait to see how Burton darkly twists this already darkly twisted tale. My one complaint is that they have the nerve to advertise for it now, when it won’t be released until March 2010. I guess that will give the audience ample time to become curiouser and curiouser.

Would I Pay For It?: Yes, but only at a late-night showing. If I have to share the theater with a bunch of kids whose parents will inevitably complain about how this version of Alice is “too scary,” there is a distinct possibility that I will cut someone.
