sweeney todd

after years of procrastination, i finally watched sweeney todd; the demon barber of fleet street.
one word - beautiful.
the musics and sound effects are just brilliant. well composed pieces with nicely written lyrics. the only problem i have is with depp. his voice and facial is too familiar and they kept triggering me to think about pirates of the caribbean. his grins and his speeches are all too similar. it's like i can see both sweeney todd and jack sparrow as the same person. so i guess  his acting is just not as good as people give him credits for. judge turpin is also too much alike of severus snape. 
slight disappointment i suppose. sigh~

  2. yes !!! perfume is also brilliant... that i watched over 5 times... that's like 2 years ago as well... i think i tried recommending it to some people but mostly nobody took interest in it...
    try red dragon, silence of the lamb, and hannibal.. amazing storyline... the book is much better though..
