A Very 'Sweeney' Christmas

I'm in Dallas with my cousins and grandparents for Christmas! The only weird thing is that we're staying in a hotel, which I've never done for Christmas before, but there's a first time for everything, right? Went out to dinner tonight with the grandparents which was fun and I'm so tired right now.

Last night, however, I went to see a midnight screening of the new Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter and directed by Tim Burton. AMAZING. I loved almost every bloody minute of it. I thought most of the casting decisions were backed by strong performances. The choice to go with "actors who sing" was a very bold one, but it gives "Sweeney Todd" a less polished feel, which fits perfectly with the story. I highly recommend checking this out. The greatest musical of all time has made its way to the silver screen in a BIG way. Can't wait to see it again, and buy it on DVD when it comes out.

Right now, I'm really tired. Seeing a movie at midnight, then traveling the next day don't do good things to me. heh.

I got through my four tests in 2 days. I'm not sure how I did though. However, that means that tomorrow is a half day and Christmas break starts! I'm going down to New Orleans with the family for a Mardi Gras ball and to see my grandparents. Should be a good time. I'll be back in town on Friday night.
