Sweeney Todd

Johnny Depp is a really great actor. He can pull off just about any role thrown at him and do it well. He is also very good to look at. The best rolls that I think Johnny Depp does those that are mysterious and wicked. He also looks good with a bit of makeup on like in "Edward Scissorhands" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". It is important in todays movie making business to be very versatile. He has played in Drama/Romance/Comedy movies such as "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" in 1993 and also more recently one of my favorite movies with him which was, "Secret Window" in 2004. My favorite line from that movie of his (which he plays Mort Rainey) is, "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't on the verge of doing snoopy dances." Another good movie of his (there is a lot of choose from actually) is, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". This is a more silly movie of his. He plays the ever weird Willy Wonka and plays it very well. The movie was released in 2005. My favorite part of that movie is when they go into the edible room. Where everything in it is edible. After one of the children question that the grass is edible, he says "Everything in this room is eatable. Even I'm eatable. But that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies." That cracks me up.

More recent movies show a bit of comedy as well as darker parts. Like the newest film which is coming out on December 21, 2007, called Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber. This movie looks very interesting and good. The director is Tim Burton which will usually always make for a great film. You can visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace or visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site! I went to the official website and viewed the trailer and loved it. I have seen it on television before as well. I cannot wait to see this movie and Johnny Depp does not look like he has slipped from acting well! I will hopefully be able to see it when it comes out!
