For those of you who have been following the careers of Johnny Depp and Time Burton, you should be happy to know that the two are going in on yet another movie together. Alice a take on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, will have that identifiable freakiness Burton always brings to the table, and will feature none other then Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Could there possibly be a better duo for this movie, umm, unquestionably not. Lets look at the history between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton for a moment. Starting from the most recent we have Sweeney Todd, The Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow, Ed Wood, and of course Edward Scissorhands. It really does seem as if these two guys were cut from the same cloth, or that there was some celestial event that made them come together. In any event, Alice in Wonderland is currently filming but the release date is supposed to be March 5, 2010.

The original copies had exquisite illustrations by J.K Rowling, as well as a one of a kind look and feel with mounted silver ornaments and moonstones.

Finally, you are able to order this fantastic standard or Collector’s edition of J.K Rowling’s New Book! The newer editions will have copies of all the original illustrations, as well as commentary on each story from Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

If you want the best in shopping, dining, sightseeing, learning, entertainment, and well pretty much everything else under the sun, the only place to be is in New York City. Oddly enough, living in the area I can attest to the fact that New York City Sightseeing and exploration is still somewhat hard to do. I don’t always know where to go, or how to get there, or even how much money to bring when I arrive. Yes, NYC has everything, but what does that mean if you don’t know what “everything” is? By using the New York City Attractions Pass, tourists and locals alike will have the perfect opportunity to pinpoint exactly what the city has to offer. The Pass is offered in 1, 2, 3, and 7 day options, and it will allow people to go to places like the Empire State Building, the Guggenheim, the Museum of Modern Art, the Statue of Liberty, Rockefellar Center, Radio City Music Hall, the list really goes on and on and on. All of these tours, river cruises, and helicopter rides (yes i said helicopter rides!) will be significantly discounted for New York City Attraction Pass holders. NYC Sightseeing may seem like a difficult thing to do, but certainly not with this pass! You will even get a VIP entrance so you wont have to wait in line like everyone else, and discounts on restaurants and stores on good old 5th avenue. Purchasing the NYC Pass will also include an easy to read map as well as a list of attractions for leisure, entertainment, learning, eating, and of course some real New York City Sightseeing.
