Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Wanna hear Johnny Depp sing? Turns out he's a fantastic singer. I was mesmerized by his talents when he belted out a few ballads throughout this film. Oh wait, the whole casts sing.

I love Tim Burton's work since Edward Scissorhands in 1990. The collaboration between Burton and Depp has always been a wonderful experience that resulted to a successful flicks e.g. Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Corpse Bride. Now, they're back with this awesome take on a classic musical film.

This movie isn't really for everyone, mind you. There are gory scenes of decapitation that may give quite a bit of a shock, unless if you think of it as an art form, like me (bwhahhahaha!!!). But overall, you'll enjoy this film because its also delightfully funny, and has a strong cast of stars singing their hearts out, they're really sweet to watch. And hey, it's a Tim Burton film, with Johnny Depp in it. What's there not to like?
