TOD:Will require some thought...
'Sweeney Todd'Tim Burton's scaled-down adaptation chooses style over substance. The result, however, is still a pretty enjoyable film.By Carina ChocanoLos Angeles Times Staff WriterDecember 21, 2007TIM BURTON'S adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece "Sweeney Todd" is a funny, moody musical blood bath. It's also notably cuter than its famous theatrical predecessors -- which I guess is what happens when you cast Johnny Depp as the serial throat-slitter and Helena Bonham Carter as his cannibal pie-making accomplice."Sweeney Todd" may be the most outrageously macabre piece of musical theater ever created, but Burton can't help but make it pretty too…Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett should look like a pair of depraved old bags next to the young lovers, but under the circumstances they look more like casually debauched rock stars.
“Sweeney Todd” may haunt you in ways you’re not used to with a movie musical. At least not since “Mame.”
Who knew a Mercury link with Uranus could have such an effect?
So very sorry to hear about your missing package, DR JRand57.
