Softball and a Movie!

I have probably neglected to mention that Christy now plays softball. Well, she does. And she really likes it! =D She has a great set of teammates who are really fun. But, they aren't the best team ever. =/ Which is okay of course, since they have fun. But some of the girls like to goof off and some don't care. That really drives me nuts! Okay, just wanted to throw that in there. That isn't what this whole post is about, so don't leave yet! =)

Last night, I watched Alice in Wonderland.

I really liked this movie! I could definitely tell that Tim Burton directed it. His style, his music, everything gives it away! The music escpecially reminded me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Except, I can't STAND that movie! The special effects were all right, not that great. Like, when she was falling down the rabbit hole, it looked very fake. Dad described the style as "nightmarish", but it bugged me. I won't tell about the whole movie, because I don't want to spoil it for you. While Tim Burton is a talented director, he has a dark side. There were some unnecessary gruesome parts that I won't tell about so as not to spoil the movie. It was strange. Have I stressed that enough? =D But I still really liked it! At the beginning, the girl who played Alice didn't seem to fit the part, but as the movie went on, I liked her better and better. Johnny Depp was a complete freak! But that's nothing unusual, so I won't dwell on it. All in all, I would recommend this movie. There was no swearing or immodesty, although when she was growing huge, her dress got a bit short. (That's Dad's comment) =) If you don't like fantasy, you probably won't like this movie. But, you never know! =D
