Alice in Wonderland

Here is the first EVER movie of Alice in Wonderland.

It was filmed in 1903 and was recently restored.

It's obviously in very bad condition, but it's still really neat!

That's my guy!

Yay!

In random Hollywood news, my favorite actor Tom Hanks was rated the #2 most reliable and trusted celebrity in the US!

James Earl Jones was number one, which is fine by me. He's a bit more seasoned, like an awesome grandfather. Tom will get there.

Others that made the list?

Here you go: Michael J. Fox, Will Smith, Bill Cosby, Denzel Washington, and the only girl Sally Field.

I agree with the whole list... except for Ron Howard.

Ron Howard has done some great work, I'll give him that... but he RUINED the Dan Brown films. They could have been so much better. The only good thing about them is Tommy boy. I wonder if it's because of him that Ron's on this list.

I kid, I kid... sorta.

First post from the future... talking about the past.

With all the talk about recent box office records being broken by the James Cameron hit Avatar, people have been keen to find out just where the movie actually stands in the history of the genre.

While the movie is poised to become the number one grossing movie of all time this week, beating out James Cameron's other massive hit Titanic (how cool must that be, to have that kind of credit?!) it lacks in something a bit more impressive... actual ticket sales!

Regardless of how much money the film makes, what any artist (director, actor, etc) really wants is his message/product to be experienced and understood by as many people as possible.

So, who exactly comes out on top of actual TICKET sales?

Well, The Hollywood Reporter's website THRFeed.com (which used to be a real magazine, you know... the kind made with paper but is now defunct - I believe) has compiled the actual list of the 20 films with the highest number of ticket sales. Avatar didn't make the list... however it impressively and comfortably sits at number 26.
The only thing these movies have over Avatar is time... I have no doubt it will climb a few notches up over the next few weeks, especially if they re-release the film like they did with Titanic.

So, here they are, I know you're dying to know!

Where are all the old classic movie musicals? Hello Dolly? Guys and Dolls? Surprising.

YES YES YES!!! I can't WAIT!

Catch Me If You Can is FINALLY happening for REAL!

The hit movie starring Tom Hanks and Leo DiCaprio is hitting the great white way! But not before it has a sit down and working in Seattle!

I wish I were in Seattle to see it! Insiders say it's the next Hairspray!

The Speilberg film is in my top five! I love it!

You like a music? You like a dancing?!

Perez Hilton reported today that there is a musical movie in the making to be excited about!!

DAMN YANKEES!!!

Apparently Jim Carey and Jake Gyllenhaal are the only names signed on so far.

NICE!

If ONLY they could change the Washington Senators to the Boston Red Sox... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make that happen. How AMAZING that would be!!

For real?

Even if he is "acting" that is so completely disrespectful.

I feel as though if this is a big episode of Punked that it'll hurt his career WAY more than it will help it.

Oh man...

This girl is too adorable.
