Kick-Ass (2010)
A pleasant surprise
When i saw the TV ad for Kick-Ass i was expecting another cliché superbadesque geek film, but I've just seen KA and im really glad i did. I'm not exactly an expert on directing techniques and filming, but I just want to say in a nutshell how amazing and how delicately deep themes are portrayed and represented in this film, whilst at the same time retaining its laugh out loud comedy. Im just gonna keep it short and sweet. The Gnarls Barkley car scene is BEAUTIFULLY ironic, and i think it represents the whole film. Who in this film really is "Crazy"?
I loved it.
...but not as much as you'll hate this review.

Alice in Wonderland (2010)
A marvellous 3D disappointment
To be honest I was expecting so much more from all the hype building up to this film's release. Burton has more than obviously juxtaposed the relationship between good and evil, however this is not what Alice in 'Underland' is about. I was hoping to see a graphical dive into the creativity and imagination of Alice's mind, however what we are presented with is an idolised view of each individual character thrown together in a weak and see through plot about power. The story has no originality, and throughout I was noting similarities between 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.' C.S Lewis may be in touch about copyright. Yes it's quirky and Burton's directing technique is interesting as always, but what is directing without a storyline?
