Movies Tracks Movie Shot

A young woman sets her sights on completing a rigorous journey across 1,700 miles of Australian desert in Tracks. In 1975, Robyn Davidson (Mia Wasikowska) embarked on a two-year internship, learning firsthand everything she could about Australian camels.

Here’s a classic work of literature that’s been told several times in various forms and I’ve managed to miss them […]

Movies Alice in Wonderland Movie Shot

This past week I got around to seeing Tim Burton‘s incarnation of Alice in Wonderland. As a child I’d read the stories and found them a bit lacking. Maybe it was the female heroine.
