Mike Hall: For Sale

Now this movie truly was a difficult one for me. Still now, three days after seeing it I still don’t know what to think. I enjoyed some parts of the film, but other parts I truly hated. Sorry Tim but I really think you could have done so much better on this film! You did not step up to the typical quality that I come to expect from you. Another thing is… well… I don’t really even know how to describe it, well, I just think that the characters didn’t have enough depth, I just didn’t quite believe them. For me, this movie was not a film about Sweeny Todd, Mrs. Lovett, Judge Turpin or any of the characters. To me, it felt like a film about Edward Scissorhands, Marla Singer, Borat, and Severus Snape. I just do not feel like the acting was convincing enough. If you cannot tell, I really am still having a hard time with this movie. I just do not know!
I have to admit that I truly loved the soundtrack. The vocals we’re great. But not good enough to make the movie for me. Now… onto what I predict for the future…
I think that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp once again have enormous potential. I really feel like there is something under their sleeves that that will simply blow the film industry away, but Sweeny Todd was just not it. So come on Tim, come on Johnny! Give me what I know you got! Give it to me good. Let’s see what you really can do. Give me the quality that I know you have stirring in your veins. Enjoy!
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: ???

School is finally over… for the semester. But still! It is over and now I have time to post… what is this? Oh yes… My very first blog here on Blogger. I’m moving my blog over here because I have heard all the mad raving reviews! Truly, everyone I’ve talked to loves Blogger, hence why I’m here.
Anyway, school is over, I took my last final today… I think I did pretty well, we shall see. But I returned my textbooks and from the $250 that I spent at the start of the semester… I got a whopping $85 back. What a steal of a deal… no no… no it is not.
But being my first blog here I thought I would talk a bit about Christmas and how much I love it! You guessed it, I love it a lot. It’s great fun, good times, magical, and… with presents. I pretty much have all of them except for a few people. Let’s see, really I only have the friends that are girls left to get gifts for. But a big “don’t worry” goes out to Nikki (my girlfriend) to whom, yes… yes I do have your present… pretty much.
Also… I am leaving in, let’s see… ten days to go to Whistler! Bring it on British Columbia! Prepare to be conquered by the Hall Brothers! Yes, my brother Matthew and I will be taking on the challenge of boarding over every piece of terrain that Whistler has to offer. In the spirit of Christmas I have selected a few hip-hoppin holiday songs for all you all to listen and love to. Enjoy them and thank you for your warm welcome to Blogger. Enjoy!
