Swooney from Sweeney

Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, and Helena--what more could you want? Add a dash of the 1979 musical, a gallon or 20 of blood, and Bedlam...well, you got yourself a nice little meat pie of a movie.

Just got back from a free advance screening of Sweeney Todd. The plot, well, it's predictable, but visually, the movie is just stunning. Only Burton could make blood this sexy.

I won't give any spoilers, but it is a must see. Burton is at his best with making the macabre beautiful, and while the music is a bit off-putting in its sweetness, I wouldn't have it any other way, now that I think about it. It's one of those movies that you appreciate more as you reflect upon it.

And yes, G, as in nearly every Tim Burton flick, there are lots of heaving, corsetted bosoms.
