 Alice (1990)
For 16 years, Alice Tate (Farrow) has been ignored by her husband (Hurt), spoiled by wealth and tranquilzed by boredom.
But as she begins to realize who she is and what she values, Alice must also confront her deepest fears and decide how far she'll go for love…and what she'll risk to change her destiny.
Not until the end does Alice need to do anything for herself, and I found it unsatisfying that she needed to be manipulated or cajoled to do any of this.

As I reiterated the highlights of Alice to my mother--how its dispirited homemaker heroine (Mia Farrow) achieves powers of invisibility and flight--her eyes lit up in an anticipative way, which leads me to believe that it is a woman's picture and thus fundamentally beyond my purview.
Even so, I have issues with Woody Allen's mutation of Lewis Carroll's literary "Alice" adventures I hope aren't gender-specific, such as the hyphenate's passively racist treatment of Chinese characters, who when not curing white problems with mystical herbs, apparently lie around smoking opium.

 Alice in Chains Greatest Hits CD review on AudioRevolution.com
I can’t imagine what you have to go through to be able to write a song like "Rooster." Despite the dark lyrical content, the chorus is as good as you’ll hear from any act of that time period.
The overall tone is dirty and ugly when compared to the over-polished heavy metal gluttony of the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.
Nonetheless, this is important music and Alice In Chains Greatest Hits has all of the tracks you’ll long for in one package.
