Netflix Night!

I had to go to the doctor this afternoon and went home after it was over because the doctor took as long. Somehow, I managed to get two movies in the mail. (I had been trying to stagger them, but it didn't work out this time). So, what movies did I get? Alice (a twisted modern day version of Alice in Wonderland), this was a miniseries put out by SyFy (and also the creators of Tin Man, which I haven't seen, but I heard was really good). I had heard it was good and decided to give it a try.


I thought it was very good, for a made of t.v. movie. I don't really watch much on the SyFy channel and added it to my list before the latest Tim Burton of Alice in Wonderland came out.  It had Tim Curry and Kathy Bates in it, which made it entertaining. The girl who played Alice (Caterina Scorsone) did a great job too. It had a really cute ending too!

The second movie I got was The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights. This was a documentary about The White Stripes tour of Canada in 2007.


I thought this was a great documentary! I love The White Stripes and thought it was so neat how they did their tour of Canada. They wanted to visit every territory in Canada, sometimes they would perfrom in large venues and sometimes it was be somewhere simple like a bowling ally. They didn't post where they would be playing sometimes, it would be word of mouth and they would play for whoever showed up. It was also neat to see the goings on it the daily lives of Jack White and his sister Meg White. I would defiantly recommend this documentary, even if you slightly likes The White Stripes.
