This quasi-sequel to the original Alice in Wonderland novel concerns a 20-year-old Alice (a terrifically low-key and deviously seductive Mia Wasikowska), on the precipice of accepting an unwanted engagement to a connected young-gentleman. At the moment of said proposal, Alice is distracted by a strange anthropomorphic rabbit that seems to be gaming for her attention. History repeats itself and Alice again tumbles down the rabbit hole into the magical world of ‘Underland’.

Tries to thrill most of the human senses except logic

Directed by Shane Acker, the film 9 is the latest animated flick but if you thought it’s for your kids you are mistaken absolutely. In fact, the target audience for ‘9’ is the growing teens, but to me it seemed to play more with maturing crowd that would appreciate detailed work of art, set designs and animation. (more…)
