Sweeney Todd
Sweeney Todd is the latest Tim Burton movie project, and it promises to be even more gruesome than Sleepy Hollow. Based on the Stephen Sondheim work. Johnny Depp plays Sweeney Todd.
Well, I’m back from Toronto! Having arrived late last night after a fantastic trip, I’ve spent the day doing some boring necessities and getting back in the swing of things. As promised, I did make some fun purchases on my trip, but those will have to wait to be shared. Instead, I want to share the remarkable costumes found in Sweeney Todd.
Colleen Atwood was in charge of that particular aspect of the movie, and she did a fantastic job. Of course, since she has designed for Edward...

“Sweeney Todd” the musical is well known in the theater world. I have seen a few scenes on PBS from the musical with George Hearn and Patti LuPone years ago so I knew it was a dark musical. Tim Burton makes it even darker (as he often does), the perfect director to bring this musical play to the screen.
The story begins when Benjamin Barker the popular town barber is thrown out of London and imprisoned on false charges, leaving his wife and child in the lecherous hands of the local judge who...

I finished the 5th look for the collection. I was going to do the filthy Victorian "Mrs. Lovett's Pies" dress but once I started I realized that it made no sense with the rest of the collection. It was long, toile de joy, jade and simply did not fit in with the rest of the separates. So in true Project Runway fashion, I had to pull a 5th look out of my bum im no time flat and with no previous plans. But that is what good designers do. I had to make sure I used again fabrics that I had used...

This past Sunday I went to see "Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" at a local multiplex. I am a huge fan of Tim Burton's movies and a total sucker of his visual aesthetics and artistic direction. His trademark look of dark Gothic touches, gloomy lighting and muted color palette is easily recognizable in many of his great movies and "Sweeney Todd" is no exception and will please the true Tim Burton aficionado, like me. At times the movie will bring to mind Burton's past works...

The best horror film of 2007 is a musical about an unkempt barber who gives nasty-close shaves and an unkempt woman who bakes meaty pies with lots of heart (and other body parts), plying their trades in an unkempt 19th century London gorging happily on its Industrial Age.
And, yes, there is blood. Hammer horror bright, fire-engine red, hissing through the air like steam from a boiling teapot, or pooling on the floorboards like piss from a mangy dog. Mingling with the hiss and the puddles...

The ''Assassins'' in the title of Stephen Sondheim's musical are those who have killed U.S. presidents, and those who have attempted it. Sondheim has covered strange ground at other times, such as using the story of Sweeney Todd, a man who kills people and turns them into meat pies. This work is...
