The Red Shoes III

* * *
Couple days late. Been very busy. Good friend of ours is moving to North Carolina and today, Sunday, is her going away tea at our house. We've been cleaning and cooking like mad things.
Saw Prince Caspian yesterday as well. Loved it. But I think it's more appealing to those who loved the books as children than the general movie goer. But we'll see. It was well done, either way.
And then I finally saw Sweeny Todd last night.
Helena Bonham Carter is no Mrs. Lovett. And that is *not* the musical I came to know and love. It's a good horror movie.
But it's not Sweeny Todd. Which is how I had to finally wrap my head around it. Not the same beast. And with that being said, I am not going to put on the soundtrack to the original score with Angela Lansbury and Lew Carou, because damn it, with no chorus?
Interesting film. But missing the point of the play.
Moving on.
So, it's hot as hell in the meantime and I need to get back in the kitchen. Hope you all have had a lovely weekend.
