I started out wanting to review a more recent movie that I liked. I wanted to give a big glowing review to one of the pleasurable times I’ve spent in a theatre lately. But instead I decided to write about the 2007 Tim Burton film Sweeney Todd starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Ala...

Congratulations to Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street for winning this year’s 34th Saturn Award for The Best horror Film. If you’ve been planning on seeing this delight, it’s headed to Blu-ray format on October 21st. Read my take on why the film and the soundtrack for t...

Sarah Larson remained out of sight, out of mind for George Clooney last night in London. Clooney crowned himself King Of All Famous British Trim. He was the guest of honor at a special dinner reception at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in Covent Garden. Joining him was Matt Damon, Thandie Newton, Helena...

Filed under: New Releases, DVD Reviews, New on DVD, Home Entertainment Slim pickins this week, no joke!, but at least there's one solid choice: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street For some it's Stephen Sondheim's classic musical.

Folded means we like, Creased means we don’t. Folded: Helena Bonham Carter (looks like a china doll, acts like a mad woman. Perfect) Thunderbirds watches (high quality, but comparatively cheap timepieces that are set to be the next big thing. Nothing to do with puppets) Cheapy animated DVDs (m...

So yesterday I finally saw a celebrity I actually gave two shits about seeing. I creator who’s work I’ve actually enjoyed greatly. We went for a few drinks in Belsize Park yesterday and then decided to go for a bit of food after that. Of course, four people trying to decide on food somet...

Here’s a new interview with Helena Bonham Carter on her role in Sweeney Todd: Things have been a bit busy lately in the Bonham Carter household. Helena has been celebrating the release of her new film, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street, which has garnered rave reviews, picked up t...

In just about every second of "Sweeney Todd" you get what looks like a movie that could have only come from the delightfully twisted mind of Tim Burton. Which, of course, it didn't, exactly. Just as the Coens did perfectly with Cormac McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men," Burton here has adapted anot...
