Tim Burton's vision of Alice in Wonderland looks to be the most trippy celluloid adaptation of Lewis Carroll's characters yet, and that got us thinking about other films that have been influenced in some way by the use of mind expanding drugs.

Watching villains get their comeuppance in films is often very pleasurable.. The more violent, degrading, messy, and justifying, the better.

REVIEWS

Alice in Wonderland Movie Review

Url: http://www.mania.com/alice-wonderland-movie-review_article_121010.html

Alice in Wonderland hangs precariously between two figures, one appropriate for our sympathies and one better left to the realm of vaguely threatening support.

Lost: Sundown Review

Url: http://www.mania.com/lost-sundown-review_article_120986.html

I certainly can't fault this week's episode for lack of action. Both incarnations of Sayid were in ass-kicking form Tuesday night. And while we do love to watch Sayid kick some ass, this show has never been about putting action above all else; something was missing.

The Neverending Story Blu-ray Review

Url: http://www.mania.com/neverending-story-bluray-review_article_120948.html

The Neverending Story is a true classic. A story that should be passed down from one generation to the next. Ignore the rudimentary puppetry and Bastian as you watch it in your old age.

Masters of the Universe: Trap Jaw Review

Url: http://www.mania.com/motu-classic-trap-jaw-review_article_121014.html

The Masters of the Universe Classic line is growing (see Toy Fair 2010). A line that is clearly designed for the die hard collector and available only on Mattel's MattyCollector site. Each and every month there are new figures added to the line and here's our thoughts on the latest one.
