so it was a busy month.

we saw:
HDM: The Golden Compass
I am Legend
Sweeny Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street

i liked Golden Compass, and hope they do the other two books as movies. it was like the Chronicles of Narnia with an anti-religious authority bent instead of a pro-religious authority bent, but if you weren't looking for a deeper meaning it was just a good story.

I am Legend was nice right up to the end when it got all preachy.
the two major scenes with his dog were spectacular.
i was disappointed, though, that they didn't go into further detail about the one infected guy.

Sweeny Todd was gory fun. sure, they cut it down from 3 hours to two, but it was a fun romp with Tim Burton and friends yet again. The music was good, and it was nice that all the actors did their own singing.
