I’ve seen the first Alice well most of it there’s about 4mins iv not seen, anyhow I felt I needed a treat at the end of the week even if it may kill me.
Back story… so you know I went to see Money Monster last week we’ll left cinema walked to car park drove home had dinner then got up from the table when my ankle twinged… it’s still fucking hurting 9 days later a trip to a&e told me iv either twisted y Achilles or have tendinitis. Yea ouch at least I know the injury due to football. So I had a couple of days off work & have had my foot constantly raised.
So cinema is my treat for the week however it’s a very long walk from my office to the cinema, tempted to get a taxi down there. & it’s on a hill so maybe the death of my left foot. Also it’s the furthest iv walked in a while & it starts at the exact same moment I finish work so iv really got to get a move on to get there.
I got there just didn’t help screen 7 is down 7 flights of stairs ouch. the trailers had started so it’s very nice when you walk into a cinema & see a fish on the screen & go oh Dory. I think I was more excited than all the kids in the cinema for it.
Not sold by Tarzan even tho it’s Damien Lewis h the BFG isn’t doing anything for me. Sorry. Secret life of pets however I still want to see that.
Alice was a good film good family fun. But after the first one it could have been darker it was to technicolor & happy for me.
The show was stolen by Rhys Ifans who played the hatters dad, isn’t he younger than Johnny Depp?
Sasha Baron Cohen was good as father time but I just can’t take him as a serious actor I’m sorry he will always be Ali G h I know that’s bad but I grew up with him as that.
Have to say the trailer is a bit misleading, if your expecting lots of Andrew Scott in that Asylum don’t have high hopes.
When I got home I asked my parents of when I was 7 I was an obnoxious child in the cinema to which they said no you really got into the films & were perfect. I wish I could say for the kid in the row behind me who kept kicking our row of chairs. I did at one point turn around h scowl at him h this mother disapprovingly. She did tell him to calm down but that didn’t stop him.
I’d say there was about another 30 people in the cinema with me, but the group down from me made me very nostalgic there was a dad who had treated what looked like his 12 & 8 year old girls to the film. They said thanks when the film finished & couldn’t wait to go meet mum afterwards who’d been shopping while the film was on. It made me think of us h when we used to do that.
It was a good film but I like my live Disney films more dark & twisted than that especially as the first is known for being just that.
