Alice - 6/10
Gotta disagree with the earlier poster about it being better than Avatar. Avatar was great. Alice was "okay" at best... much of the story in the movie is pointless and seems to get the themes of the originals entirely wrong. It was an okay way to pass the time, slightly entertaining visuals, etc., but nothing worth talking about later. I liked the cheshire cat though... that character probably best matches the original compared to any of the others.
The Wrestler - 7.5/10
Pretty good movie. I can't say I really think it's great, because the subject of the movie isn't that appealing to me. I'm not into wrestling, but overall it was well done. Mickey Rourke was great as always. It did a good job of showing how pointless and sad many peoples lives end up... very depressing (it's meant to be). I love Darren Aronofosky's other movies. Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain are fucking great... especially The Fountain...
