Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - Outstanding!


Tonight Sarah and I went to see the new movie by Tim Burton titled Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street with our friends Dani and Diego. We had a blast both seeing this fantastic movie and spending special time with our friends. This movie is not for the faint of heart as it is very bloody, but definitely honors the original Steven Sondheim musical and then some. Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Sacha Baron Cohen and the rest of the cast are amazing and sing very well! I give it a "must see" rating for those who dare!

We also were treated by Dani and Diego to see two very special promotional items that were given to Dani a few years ago. These items were designed as promotional items for the Tim Burton movie Sleepy Hollow but never received the studio approval for actual production. The first is a Sleepy Hollow Halloween candy bucket and the second is a candle that circulates from the heat and projects images of a cat, witch and pumpkin on the surrounding walls. Here are a couple of pictures and a video of the candle in operation below. These are both one of a kind items - it was a real treat to get a peek at them. Thanks Dani and Diego for sharing these items and making the evening a lot of fun!
