Friday Reviews - 5th March 2010
Alice In Wonderland - Of course it looks jaw-dropping but Tim Burton and his pal Johnny D have forgotten to add character and plot to this weird-for-the-sake-of-weird take on Lewis Carroll's classic book. 2 stars.
Legion - The story may be silly (a gun-toting archangel comes to Earth to save us from the apocalypse) but the joyfully odd Paul Bettany kicks the pretensions to one side and plays it brilliantly badass in this religious take on The Terminator legend. 3 stars.
Chloe - Amanda Seyfried is the prostitute testing Liam Neeson's faithfulness in this wannabe-sexy thriller that ends up more laughable than lusty. 2 stars.
Exit Through The Gift Shop - Slap-around-the-face documentary about the fickle world of street art, put together by the legendarily mysterious graffitti artist Banksy. Hilariously eye-opening and made with a cheeky wink. Love it. 5 stars.

I am a massive Harrsion Ford fan but Extraordinary Measures sounds far too depressing and boring for me, so John Travolta trashing the French capital sounds a hell of a lot better. He does look strange with a bald head though -
