Movie Recommendation: Alice

I tend to forget about the sub-genre of story-retellings, but whenever I find one I almost always fall into immediate, fanatical, passionate love with it.

Such is the case with my latest find: Alice.

I found this little gem by clicking random videos on YouTube. I found a fan-vid for the main couple that was so impressively spliced together and the movie itself looked so pretty and enticing (and heck, Andrew Lee Potts quite tickles my fancy!) I felt like I would be doing myself a great injustice for not tracking it down and watching it. I do not hesitate to tell you that I was correct.

Two of my top three favorite movies are Disney’s Tangled and 27 Dresses. (You are welcome to take guesses at the third, just be warned that it’s not anywhere near that ballpark.) I love lots of aspects of these movies; take the line from 27 Dresses: “I feel like I just found out my favorite love song was written about a sandwich.” LOVE IT!

But my favorite favorite things in these movies are the little details, like how Rapunzel’s chameleon is named Pascal, and one of the three books she reads is a geometry book or how right as the dream-boat, Kevin, and our Leading Lady, Jane, part ways at the taxi the Wall Street Journal truck drives between them, and it’s the same thing that drives them apart later on…
