Inventive opening credits to SWEENEY TODD
Sadly this is as much of SWEENEY TODD as we will get in the U.K. this year. The movie won't be opening until a few weeks into 2008 which pisses me off not just because I'm desperate to see Tim Burton's most critically lauded film since BIG FISH but because it messes up my end of year article too. I've been watching more films in the last two weeks than I had previously seen since the end of the summer but it still looks very unlikely as to whether I will get to see NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, THERE WILL BE BLOOD and SWEENEY TODD before the lights go out on 2007. Shame but this kind of thing always happens at the end of the year for us Brits. We didn't get BLOOD DIAMOND or APOCALYPTO, two of the very best of last year until after the New Year festivities.
