Tom & Dinosaur Hand...

review:
Love in the Time of Cholera, Alice in Wonderland, and City Island. Tom: Hey there Dino, after that last review you did, I kind of figured we need to buckle down and do some reputable reviewing.
Dinosaur Hand: I don't know what you're talking about.
Tom: Deny it, that's fine. Do you remember Love in the Time of Cholera? We actually saw this a few months ago.
D.H: I remember boobies.
Tom: Jeez. I'm not sure that this movie got very good reviews, but I really enjoyed it. It is set in Cartagena, Columbia, and involves a young man, a poet/clerk, who falls in love with a young woman and pursues her, only to wait fifty years until they can be together.
D.H: Hurry up and wait. Sounds like a snoozer. 50 years a snoozer.
Tom: Of course a lot of stuff and a lot of women come and go in the fifty years, but when his true love finally becomes available, he immediately begins the pursuit again...
D.H: ..and she is pretty surly about that!
Tom: Good movie. I say Go for it.
D.H: Whatever. It's set in the year 2. What's this movie got? It's got no explosions!

Tom: Next movie, maybe this is more to your liking Dinosaur Hand; Alice in Wonderland, the Tim Burton version. What did you think?
D.H: Here we go...Jabberwockys, and disappearing cats and bigheaded queens and a Bandersnatch...wow.
Tom: How about the vorpal sword?
D.H: Hoo and wa!
Tom: Okay; I thought this movie pretty much sucked. It started off sort of willy nilly and after a while started to settle into a watchable story.
D.H: Are you mad? Did I mention the Bandersnatch? There were funny little round dimwits as well!
Tom: Mmm. Johnny Depp was as ridiculous here as he was in Willy Wonka. That movie was only slightly worse than this one. I thought the girl cast as Alice was good, and her progression from start to end was interesting, but nothing new. Why does Burton keep doing these remakes? His original stuff is brilliant.
D.H: You are a foo-bear-twit, and I shall write an epic poem about your dunderheadedness.

Tom: Here's a movie I doubt many people have heard of; City Island.
Dinosaur Hand: Is that a Mario Brother's game? Can we play it now, puleeeez?
Tom: No, Dino, it's a movie starring Andy Garcia. I really liked this one. It also starred Julianna Margulies and a few other actors I've never heard of, but were vaguely familiar.
D.H: Oh, ho...where have I heard that before?
Tom: Excuse me; what? Anyway, there were a lot of characters and a lot of stories to go along. One central character tied them all together in some fashion or another and it all came together. Funny, outrageous, quirky...all good stuff here. You like dramas? Here's a good one.
D.H: Fine, but come on, no car chases?
Tom: Well, Garcia threw some punches, right?
D.H: Boom, bam, bash!
