What's Interesting - Tim Burton's update of 'Alice in Wonderland'. I have read many reviews - good ones and the not-so-good ones. But, I did not want to be swaggered off by any unwarranted opinions. So, I had to see the movie for myself. And so I went to the TGV Cinema at Tebrau City together with my son, Adam and my wife, Aidee. Aidee was the one who was actually more excited than me about seeing the movie because she has read the storybook (who doesn't, actually) and she has seen numerous other versions of 'Alice'. We both wanted to see what Burton and Depp could bring to this wonderul tale originally written by Lewis Carroll. Would it be a classic, joining the likes of 'Beetlejuice', 'Ed Wood' or 'Edward Scissorhands'? Or would it be as quirky as say 'Sleepy Hollow' or 'Charlie and The Chocolate Factory'? Burton is indeed capable of producing many gloriously 'weird' stuffs but I was always reminded by some of his abysmal outputs e.g. 'Mars Attacks!' and particularly the remake of 'Planet Of The Apes'...
What's The Verdict - The movie was so-so... Nothing great... For other references on movies, check out my other blog http://jerichojive.blogspot.com/. You can find some interesting reviews on local (i.e. Malaysian) as well as foreign movies. Personally, I'd prefer the 1976's version of Alice in Wonderland starring Kristine DeBell (i.e. for obvious reasons, if you know...).
What's Unforgettable - The Night when I had to finish off the ordeal of taking Epsum Salt with Water at 6.00 pm and 8.00 pm. The idea was conveyed to me by my brother, Rozman, who have had bouts of Stones in his Gallbladder. The method of eating 4 - 5 Green Apples per day for 6 days worked on him. It cleared off his tiny little stones. And so I tried. By 10 pm, I should be supplementing my internal organs with a 1/2 cup of Virgin Olive Oil and 'Limau Nipis'...
What Happened - Bountiful visits to the Bathroom, as predicted. More than 18 times, if I could remember. There were continuous visits within minutes. I actually cleared off my bowels.
What's Good Thereafter - My BP went down to 105/75, courtesy of the Epsum Salt (i.e. Magnesium).
What's Not So Good Thereafter - The trips to the Bathroom should have ended early in the morning. But it went on for the next 2 days, albeit at a lesser frequency. The pain was bearable but the 'trips' were kind of troublesome at times... *Sigh* Imagine the length I would go through to improve my overall health and well-being...
