Wonderland (2003)
4/10
Why should we care?
20 January 2008
Having sat through the movie Wonderland I am at a loss to explain what its about. I think its about John Holmes' involvement in the murders that occurred on a street called Wonderland, but I'm not sure.

Actually thats exactly what its about, the problem is that the film is so convoluted with a bad Rashamon style of many people telling versions of the same story that you end up with no idea what really happened, and not caring that you don't.

The film isn't bad, it just leaves you with a feeling that you have only slightly more information than you did prior to going in, and even then you're not to sure. Well, really there is one thing you're sure of, John Holmes was a jerk.

I don't hate the film, I don't really like the film, I just sort of think its there and existing in a pointless place in the universe. There is no reason for this to exist simply because the film isn't clear what its about or whats going on and most importantly why we should care. This is a bunch of not nice people doing not nice things to each other and we are suppose to care. I think not.

The one positive thing the movie did is get me interested in finding out what really happened. I have a need to get past the he said she said style of film making and to simply know what happened.

If you're interested rent this but don't plunk down more than a rental fee for this film. Its not worth it.
