The music is perfect, the dialogue […]
Trust director Tim Burton to make a weird film become a masterpiece. Believe that Johnny Depp is an actor who cannot do anything wrong these days. In Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the duo manages to top their previous collaborations and may have achieved the most intriguing musicals of all-time.
The revenge-themed flick […]
Amidst the absence of the usual glitz and glamour that accompany the Golden Globes, some celebrations were in order for the winners of the top film awards for the year.
