New Movie

Saw an advanced screening of Sweeney Todd last night - thought
it was pretty good; nice film adaptation of the Broadway musical and think
it'll be nominated for at least a few Golden Globe Awards (e.g., best musical,
best actor, best costume/makeup, best visual editing, best cinematography,
etc.) Would recommend it if you're fan of the musical and/or open to the dark,
bizarre type of movie typical of director Tim Burton (e.g., Edward
Scissorhands, The Nightmare before X-mas, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Planet of
the Apes, Corpse Bride, etc.). And think I'll be taking a pass on Golden Compass - pretty much always agree with the Rocky Mountain News and they give it a C-.
