Another weekend and another movie marathon

These weekends three films (which I have seen for the first time) were:
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
I loved this film, by far the best of the three films I watched today, and one I look forward to watching it again.
Johnny Depp, as always, was an amazing and I was very impressed with his singing. It had a rock vocalist feel to it which I think suited the psycho aspect of the character.
The scene where Miss Lovett sings about her dream life with Todd is superb, the lighting and colouring is brilliant, then the uninterested expressions/mannerisms of Todd throughout it were also amazing.

The Golden Compass
Now I have always felt that the Harry Potter series have been crap adaptations, with appalling acting, and unnecessarily missed bits of story but somehow it still makes a good entertaining film.
The Golden Compass was just SHIT, the acting was great, the demons and everything else looked Superb. Now we've come to the story...well if you can call it that...firstly the film starts half way through the book, then it tells the story in the dumbest order, and to top that off they cut the whole fucking ending (which is also the most important bit) of the story out WTF!?!?!?

Finally Rob Zombie's Halloween
I thought this film was great. The whole back story into Michael was brilliant, especially his obsession with masks making, and the background into Loomis and Michael's relationship were bits I feel really added to making this true re-imagination of an already great film.
I am a huge fan of Rob Zombie, his artwork, his music, his directing style (both music videos and films), and his script writing. I hope he finds another project soon.


I hope you all had fun weekends

Kind Regards
