Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Alice In Wonderland (out Mar 4) is like the first Narnia movie - except not as exciting and not as adventurous. It lacks passion and it feels like you're just going through the motions. 3D is under utilised too. Aussie Mia Wasikowska was the only strong point - she's nice in the leading role despite the script giving her nothing to work with. Director Tim Burton's best days are behind him. Grade: C+.
