Sneak Peek: Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland

I’m already freaked out. Tim Burton is currently working on a 3-D adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. I love Alice in Wonderland. I adore the book and have watched the sugarcoated Disney animated version countless times. I’m also a big fan of the surreal take of the tale by Jan Švankmajer. But this new incarnation of the Lewis Carroll class...

Letting Kids See Watchmen

Lisa Belkin wonders if her 15-year old should see "Watchmen," this weekend's number one movie. His 18-year old brother saw it and pronounced it brilliant. I won't keep you in suspense (I know, you were on the edge of your seat), but Lisa eventually capitulated and let the younger son go. Spoiler: he liked it. Having seen the film, I can say that...
