Finally watched Sweeney Todd and quite enjoyed it. It was great hearing Johnny Depp sing, what a good voice, is there anything he can't do? I also liked how they pared down the story and made it more intimate and internal and less of a standard musical with singing crowds & choruses etc. The special features included in the 2 disc edition look pretty good too.

I saw Shine a Light yesterday. Pure.Unadulterated.Joy. And I'm not even a Stones fan, per ce. Or at least, I wasn't until yesterday.

I like Michael Angarano. I also like Emile Hirsch, who played Jay in LOD as well as the guy in Into the Wild, another good film (have we talked about this one? I saw it a few weeks ago and enjoyed it a lot). LOD really has a potential-star-studded cast. The actor who plays Tony Alva is good, too.

It's on my list now, too! I'm a longtime Stones fan, and I loved Martin Scorcese's other two rock movies (The Last Waltz and the Dylan one, both wonderful). Still, I might have skipped this without Barb's endorsement.

No, I have seen it before. In fact, we own the DVD. I was just saying, the actor in the preview was at the edge of my mind and I couldn't place him, and then when I looked Snow Angels up on IMDb, I realized I had just seen him when I re-watched LOD for the Heath DVD festival.
