Coming Soon to a Theater Near You - Sweeney Todd

A week from Friday the movie Sweeney Todd lands in theaters. Directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, it's already generated a lot of buzz. It seems an odd movie to release at Christmas, since it's all about a man who seeks a terrible revenge on the judge who destroyed his life - but that's Hollywood for you. Certainly the dark humor and the time period are a perfect match for Burton's style.

At any rate, here's the trailer for the movie, which gives you a quick glimpse of what to expect.
