Sweeney Todd
Filed under S - DVD Movie ClubJohnny Depp is still pretty much the sexiest man I’ve ever seen, and this movie proves yet another awesome thing about him; he can sing. Our anti-hero, ST arrives in London and immediately sets out for revenge against the man who framed him, stole his woman, and trapped his daughter in a lonely existence many years prior. And since people who steal other people’s womans deserve to have their throats slit with razor-sharp razors, ST’s methods for revenge are practically perfect. I have decided that musicals with strange, creepy songs and little to no dancing are the jam. But none of that even compares to seeing a ton of people getting huge gashes sliced into their necks on camera, complete with blood-spurting action from the jugulars; dropped into the basement through a hole in the floor, and made into meat pies for the citizens of London to enjoy. I love it when that junk happens. This one gets 3.5 flames on the scale, due to the fact that Helena Bonham Carter is weird and freaks me out.
