Quickies

Encahanted - ***

Enchanted could have been disasterous had the wonderful and beautiful Amy Adams not believed so fully in the story. The film shows us that even in a broken world, when we find true love we can still find our happily ever after.

Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - ***

Helena Bohnman Carter steels the Burton/Depp show. She is marvelous in the role of Mrs. Lovett. The story was beautiful as was the filmmaking - I just couldn't help but feel that Depp's performance as the Demon Barber was a little...boring.

Juno tomorrow, top 10 to follow shortly

i loved sweeney, but yes...Depp is always Depp except in his very best roles like in Finding Neverland.
