Alice in Wonderland sees grown-up Alice once again down the rabbit hole after taking some time out from a ghastly marriage proposal enforced by some red-head prig with digestive problems (not sure what his name was). Jarring wonderfully with the rigours of real life she shrinks and grows her way through lush gardens meeting many of Lewis Carrol’s creations including Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle Dum (Matt Lucas), the White Queen (Anne Hathaway), the Cheshire Cat (voiced by Stephen Fry), the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter), and the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp). Stupid amounts of CG can be forgiven as it looks glorious and in places (mainly Depp-bits) rather touching. I heard mixed things before seeing it, but went on the strength of the ‘rents saying how much they’d enjoyed it. 3D helped, I reckon, but for my money it was better than Avatar (awaiting a lynch mob).

So last night I checked out Twitter following a friend’s recommendation and Stephen Fry’s mention on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross (which was very entertaining). For those of you who don’t know – and I only found out yesterday, the premise of Twitter is scarily simple. There’s a text field with space for 140 characters, where you to write what your current status is. I’m interested to see how I get on with it. I’m guessing that the more you use it and use it imaginatively, the more you get out of it. I’m also guessing that it’s a love it or hate it thing, though apparently an awful lot of people are now using it.
