Nuggets from the Nugget: “Alice in Wonderland”, “Hot Tub Time Machine”

15 Apr Nuggets from the Nugget: “Alice in Wonderland”, “Hot Tub Time Machine”

Telluride's Nugget Theatre has two films on the program this week, Friday, April 16-22: "Alice in Wonderland" and "Hot Tub Time Machine". In addition, on Thursday, April 22, the Telluride Film Festival will present "The Ghost Writer".

"Alice" (Rated PG) is Tim Burton's take on the Lewis Carroll classic. In Burton's hands, this is not your mother's bedtime story for tots. This is the second week in Telluride for "Alice".

To get a handle on "Hot Tub Time Machine" we need to accept the  possibility that a ski vacation hot tub can turn back the clock, give a bunch of buddies a big do-over. It's rated R for the reasons you probably already guessed. Not "War and Peace" but probably fun in the right frame of mind. And the cast includes John Cusack and Rob Corddry.

The Telluride Film Festival offering is "The Ghost" (rated PG-13), which is the story of a ghost writer called on to re-write history for a British prime minister, who may remind one of Tony Blair. There probably is a price to pay for not telling the approved version. Roman Polanski directs.
