    How can you go wrong with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp?  Answer: You can’t.  First and foremost, you must understand that Sweeney Todd is a musical.  Many people don’t make this realization before they sit down to watch the film.  If you’re among them, don’t feel bad-you’re not alone.  However, bear in mind this is…

    (Notice:  Spoilers Ahead) By far, the best thing about Cloverfield was the previews hyping its release.

    There’s so much I want to say about this film that I simply can’t for fear of spoiling some pretty captivating moments and revelations.I will say this: Watching Anthony Hopkins as the manipulative, arrogant, charming aeronautical engineer and Ryan Gosling as the manipulative, arrogant, charming lawyer was riveting.  Both men ooze charisma in this film,…

    I’m a big Tim Burton fan, and when Burton and Johnny Depp get together, it’s always magic.  That’s why I always felt bad about not seeing the movie Ed Wood.  Released in 1994, I simply never got around to watching it, but after hearing about how good it was, I finally decided to sit down…
