It's weird that my vacation is over. Not too much was accomplished during my break, but I did see a couple good movies. For the latter half of last week, we took care of my nephew and took him to watch a couple movies and took him to his long awaited pirates dinner!

Alvin and the Chipmunks - I didn't expect much from this movie which is probably why I liked it. It was a cute movie, but I wouldn't have minded waiting for DVD. My nephew loved it though. Those chipmunk voices... too cute ^_^

Sweeney Todd - I've been wanting to see this because I LOVE Johnny Depp movies. He's fantastic. I didn't know a whole lot about this movie, but it looked dark, it was a musical, and it had Johnny Depp... altogether an equation for a "must-see" for me. I didn't realize that it was going to be frightening for children (stupidity on my part... it does say "demon" barber!), so I spent a lot of the time covering my nephew's eyes. But overall, I LOVED this movie! I loved everything about it... the score/soundtrack, the plot, the cinematography... and since I had no prior knowledge of the original musical, I appreciated the storyline even more. I would love to see this live. Too bad the live musicals wouldn't star Mr. Depp. Isn't he one of the most well-aged 40-somethings you've seen?! (Read as HOT!) Aside from Pitt and Reeves, he looks awesome for his age... love him!
