Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street [Blu-ray]

»rank: 2239
Our review: :Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 10/21/2008 Run time: 116 minutes Rating: R :After years of rumors, it turns out that Tim Burton was the perfect visionary to film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Stephen Sondheim's Broadway masterpiece, and the result is a macabre and moving musical movie as enthralling as anything Burton has ever done. The show's mix of gothic horror, Grand Guignol, very dark humor, and witty and beautiful music never was the stuff of traditional musical comedy, but it's a powerful work, and perhaps the richest of the late 20th century. In the movie, Burton's frequent ...

Our review:Description:''Fight Club' pulls you in, challenges your prejudices, rocks your world and leaves you laughing' (Rolling Stone). Brad Pitt ('12 Monkeys', 'Seven'), Edward Norton ('Primal Fear,' 'American History X') and Helena Bonham Carter ('Mighty Aphrodite,' 'A Room With A View') turn in powerful 'performances of which movie legends are made' (Chicago Tribune) in this action-packed hit. A ticking-time-bomb insomniac (Norton) and a slippery soap salesman (Pitt) channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground 'fight clubs' forming in every town, until a sensuous eccentric (Bonham Carter) gets in the way and ignites an out-of ...
