30 Sec. Movie Review: Charlie & the Chocolate Factory

Jen & Dave treated me to a showing yesterday for my birthday. I have to say it was a wonderful movie. Everyone in the audience, from little ones to old ones, seemed to really enjoy it. It was visually stunning, the acting was spot on, and the musical numbers with the Oompa Loompas were roll in the aisle funny. Now if only the teenage girls next to me had just shut up for 5 minutes, it would have been perfect!

Did Johnny Depp give you that creepy Michael Jackson vibe?

No, not at all. He did remind me somone, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I'm thinking it might me some cartoon character, but I'm not sure.

Ith, working only from promo's here, since I haven't seen the movie - but he reminds me (don't laugh) of Elizabeth Gracen in the Highlander days when she still had the black hair, cropped at the chin - I think it is the pale complexion, eye's and shape of the mouth -chin area. Just my wierd observation.
