Oh, I saw Sweeney Todd last night! I didn't know the plot or the songs, so I went in thinking I knew what to expect, but ended up getting a really cool story and characters that were more three dimensional than I thought they'd be.

Johnny Depp sings. He needs to sing more. As does Alan Rickman. And when they sing together? SWOON. Seriously though, I loved Johnny's voice, and I thought he did a distinctly different character here, even if it had echoes of other characters he's played.

I loved the sets and costuming. I usually enjoy Tim Burton movie visions, so I am not surprised, but I especially enjoyed this movie's look. There were some Neverwhere resonances with the street scenes, which was an extra added bonus.

Hmm. Tim Burton directing a version of Neverwhere. Now that could be interesting.

I have, if you want it, a recording of Alan Rickman reading "My Lover's Eyes", the Shakespeare sonnet.
