Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

My sweet Gracious Lord.

I haven’t seen a movie in twenty years that moved me the way this did.

Admittedly, I’m a fan of the story, and I did like George Hearn in the role, though I was left utterly flat by Angela Lansbury.

Johnny Depp, on the other hand- and Helena Bonham Carter…. my god.

The singing- the Sondheim! How can you miss with Sondheim! Johnny Depp can SING! Who knew?

Good lord. I am going to see this AGAIN, on the big screen, and maybe AGAIN. And then I’m going to buy the damned DVD and weatch it as often as possible.

Oh, and lots of throat slitting. And meat pies.
