Malice in Wonderland - News of the World puts the boot in

News of the World film critic Robbie Collin's review of Alice in Wonderland has become something of an international news event. Collin slated the film in his review as a "bums-in-the-air fiasco" and gave it one star.
But he reserved special venom for its star Mia Wasikowska: "In 2008, when Tim Burton chose Mia to play Alice, she had never acted in a big feature film before.
And that remains true to this day. Cos bejaysus – there's not been a lead character this paper-flat since the South Park movie.
The girl's got all the warmth of a refrigerated trout, and a face you'd expect to see Blu-Tacked to the inside of a London phone box. She's not a heroine she looks like she's ON heroin." Wasikowska is Australian, and stories about the review have run on the ABC and Sydney Morning Herald and other websites. Sydney Morning Herald readers were so interested in the story that it was the second most popular on its website, behind its top story, Thousands gather for naked Opera House photos, a story Monkey feels the Screws would have been proud to run.
