A Fool of Myself

The Demon Barber of Fleet Street hardly sounds like a character for a Christmas movie, but I dare say that a movie from Tim Burton and Johnny Depp will fill my heart with Christmas cheer on December 21st. And for those of us longing for a Harry Potter fix (The Half-Blood Prince doesn’t come out until November 21, 2008), we can watch Snape and Bellatrix Lastrange, I mean, Alan Rickman and Helena Bonham Carter join Mr. Depp for this musical.

In case you’ve no idea what this gem of a musical-turned-film is about, here’s the trailer. Let the gruesome begin!

P.S. Mmm! Meat pie!
