Johnny Depp
Happy birthday to one of the greatest living actors, Johnny Depp. He doesn’t know it yet, but he’s going to star in a movie that a very talented writer that I know wrote. I can’t spill all the beans, but let’s just say this – the film franchise is going to be HUGE! Get ready!
As you all know by now, I am a movie curmudgeon. Typically when I like a film, the rest of the world dislikes it and vice versa. With that being said, I enjoyed Tim Burton’s take on Alice in Wonderland. It’s being universally panned by critics, which is no surprise to me. Seeing the film in 3-D is the way to go, according2g. Johnny Depp looks like Madonna circa Ray of Light in every scene he is in, but he has an annoying lisp. Helena Bonham Carter is great as the Red Queen and it might be worth the price of admission alone just to see her with a huge head and a tiny body. If you are a Tim Burton fan, you’ll love the darkness and imagery he brings to this film, and as usual, Danny Elfman’s score is a work of genius. In the original Disney cartoon, there were many more images of overt drug taking and sexual situations which seem to be absent in this version, but the colorful visions in this 3-D version will provide you with a fun experience. On a scale of A to G, Alice in Wonderland gets a nice solid B.

Tonight at New York’s Chelsea Market Place, WENN (the World Entertainment News Network) celebrated 21 years of celebrity photography. Gail and I had a great time mingling with the rich and soon to be famous and the entire event was for a great cause. WENN has set up the ability for fans to purchase high quality photos of celebs and they are donating all of the proceeds to Haiti relief. You can find out how to participate here. The exhibit will run from now until February 28, 2010.

Here’s a tiny sample of what you can expect to see at this exhibit.

Above is the poster for Tim Burton’s latest film, Alice In Wonderland. The film stars Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, but I can’t help but think… doesn’t he look an awful lot like Madonna in this picture?
