Oh frabjous day! (Alice in Wonderland)

This bookworm has been in the midst of a move, and although I have been also reading my next book diligently, I was feeling a movie tonight. So I went to the redbox just down the street, and what did I find? Alice in Wonderland (not the Disney version, the new one that came out this year).

So since Alice was technically based on Lewis Carroll's stories (I say stories here, because there were elements pulled from both Alice in Wonderland and the following book, Through the Looking Glass), I decided I would blog about it. I read both a few years ago; I actually found an excellent edition called "The Annotated Alice" and if you're interested at all in reading Carroll's stories this one gives a lot of backstory and information that makes reading it way more fun.

I'm just going to throw it out there that I liked the Disney version of Alice way more than this one...Tim Burton makes everything a little bit creepy for me. And Johnny Depp's weird little dance at the end of the movie just kinda freaked me out.

So this has been the first edition of The Bookworm goes to the Movies...I may post more as I watch more movies based on books. Until next time, Happy Reading (and Watching!)
