Welcome back from the holiday weekend! If you're already looking for a way to keep that chilled-out vacation feeling going, perhaps you'll want to plop on the couch with one of these new DVD releases. Check them out! Alice in Wonderland While it may not be my favorite of Tim Burton's movies, this re-imagining of the classic tale leaves you with plenty of scenery to ogle. There are a few fun, Read more

Families swapped out the Tweedles for some fire-breathing friends over the weekend, making How to Train Your Dragon the No. 1 pick at the box office. The animated film took in $43.3 million which was easily enough to unseat last week's champ Alice in Wonderland, which dropped nearly 50 percent for $17.3 million. Another newcomer, the raunch-filled (but lovable!) Hot Tub Time Machine took third Read more

Alice in Wonderland continues to cast its spell on the box office. The Tim Burton spectacle earned $34.5 million, besting the weekend's newcomers. Of those, children's flick Diary of a Wimpy Kid pulled off a narrow upset over the heavily promoted Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler starrer The Bounty Hunter. Kid took the second place spot with $21.8 million, while the latter garnered $21 million Read more

The other guys didn't stand a chance. Despite best efforts from Matt Damon and Robert Pattinson to unseat Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton and crew took in a whopping $62 million in the film's second week at the box office. Those numbers bring the movie's intake to a grand total of $208 million so far, making it the highest gross ever for a Burton project. The new releases of the weekend filled Read more

I've already shared with you my recent chats with Alice in Wonderland stars Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter, along with Alice herself, Mia Wasikowska, but there are two actors who you may not recognize in the film: Matt Lucas and Michael Sheen. In the film, Lucas pulls off the dual role of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, while Sheen lends his voice to the White Rabbit. You've probably seen Read more

Towards the opening of Alice in Wonderland, a young Alice lays in bed as her father leans in to tell her a secret. She's been having odd dreams about a rabbit in a waistcoat, and questions if she's losing her mind. He responds by telling her that crazy people are the best kind. I'd venture even further: in this film, crazy is king. Alice in Wonderland feels like a story that's tailor-made for Read more

When you're thrown into the middle of a Tim Burton film — opposite an A-lister like Johnny Depp, no less — it's easy to feel overwhelmed. That's where up-and-comer Mia Wasikowska found herself when she was cast in one of young Hollywood's most coveted parts: the title role in Alice in Wonderland. We've already heard from stars Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter about the film, but I also Read more

The hype for Alice in Wonderland has only continued to grow over the past few months, so you can imagine my excitement when I got to interview a few of its stars. First up was Anne Hathaway and Tim Burton's go-to muse (on screen and off), Helena Bonham Carter. The actresses portray the sisterly duo of the Red Queen (Bonham Carter) and the White Queen (Hathaway) in the story's retelling, and they Read more

I've already provided you with some movie releases, but is your iPod in need of a shot in the arm, too? These new albums feature standout tracks that should help you beef it up. Fall into the rabbit hole: Artists collide for Almost Alice — a soundtrack inspired by Alice in Wonderland — but the mix feels all over the map. The techno beats of Metro Station's "Where's My Angel" are a miss Read more
