Alice in Wonderland (2010)

The problem with Alice in Wonderland is that its interest lies primarily in the computer generated images and not the story (which apes other films like The Golden Compass or the Lord of the Rings trilogy). Helena Bonham Carter is quite good (although her head is most distracting), Anne Hathaway seems a bit lost, Johnny Depp has a lisp that disappears and reappears and Mia Wasikowska is fine although someone might've mentioned to Tim Burton that aging the main character ten years in a beloved children's tale doesn't endear itself to those who know the original (see Diana Ross in The Wiz). It wasn't horrible but it certainly wasn't worth the price of admission either.

...The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

An excellent cast, a believable script, and a fun industry to dissect coalesce to make The Devil Wears Prada an extremely watchable and charming movie. Meryl Streep straps on the sunglasses for a merry-go-round performance, alongside Anne Hathaway's believable transformation, Emily Blunt's comic foil, and Stanley Tucci's gay, giving this movie something for everyone. I even shed a few tears - lovely.
