Wow! 'Tis quite a long time.

Actually, I haven't visited, either. This is my first time back since the 29th.;)

Um...how flying penguins who shoot pistachios out of their mouths are really, really cool?

Thanks, Snowth! Glad you noticed my absence. My last visit was apparently 12/29. I didn't think it was THAT long, but (in Eeyore voice) thanks for noticin' me!

Hey, Sarge, nice to see ya! Happy New Year!:)

I forgot to add Halloween to my list of my favorites of '07. This is one horror remake, IMO, that works, and stands apart from other remakes/reimaginings, such as The Fog, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Sisters, Night of the Living Dead, The Omen, The Hills Have Eyes, When a Stranger Calls, and...

And he's still laughing. The DVD is already one of the highest-selling of the year, and it was only released 11 days ago.

Here are my top movies of 2007, all of them 5 out of 5 stars (in no particular order): No Country For Old Men - IMO, this is easily the best Coen Bros. flick since O Brother, Where Art Thou, a brilliant, dark thriller based on Cormac McCarthy's novel. Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones are...

At last! My arm is complete again!

This isn't the first time Burton worked without Elfman. Howard Shore scored "Ed Wood."

My favorite film/TV versions of the Carol are A Christmas Carol (1951) - Alistair Sim as a classic Scrooge Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (1962) - wonderful version of the story Scrooge (1970) - my personal favorite adaptation, a musical, starring Albert Finney The Stingiest Man in Town...

Merry Christmas to all of my wonderful friends at MC! And a glorious, Happy New Year for everyone!:) :)

I was first introduced to the story in an abridged book with pictures. Marley's ghost spooked me for the longest time!

Danny Elfman isn't involved in this film in any way. The songs are some of Sondheim's best, IMO. My favorites include "The Worst Pies In London," "Pretty Women," "The Contest" (a great showcase for Sacha Baron Cohen, who steals every scene he's in) and "Johanna." I didn't expect "Sweeney...

Thanks, Kate, glad I could help! I actually have never seen the 1936 movie, but if you enjoyed the play, you should enjoy Tim Burton's take on it.

You forgot! Claudia! How could you... wait...um...I forgot what I was gonna say...

Maybe so it can qualify for the Oscars? Just a guess...

I saw "Sweeney Todd" today. This now takes the place of "Ed Wood," which was previously my favorite Tim Burton film. Benjamin Barker (Johnny Depp), a once-prosperous barber, has his life destroyed when a cruel judge (Alan Rickman) steals Barker's wife and baby daughter, and has Barker...

Indeed he does. He plays Pirelli, a flamboyant, rival barber to Depp's Sweeney. I saw the film today. Excellent!

I'm planning to see it tomorrow! I was pumped about I Am Legend, but my enthusiasm has cooled off on that one. Not because of the critics (whom I never listen to anyway), but because of various spoilers/major plot points I found on the web (gotta stop looking at those) that left me sort of...
