Jamie suprised me today, he took me to go see Johnny Depp in Tim Burtons, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's been over a month since he and I have gotten to go out so today was a real treat. I wasnt really expecting to get to go. I've seen everything Depp has done and because of our finacial situation, I just imagined that this would be the film that I would have to wait on. So when JAmie mentioned it this afternoon, I almost started crying. It was so touching that he would realize how badly I had been wanting to go see this film. Jamie can be thoughtful, guess he keeps those time rare so their special.

OK yall, time for the MOVIE REVIEWthink of it as a triumph, could anyone make THe SOund of MUSic and have the world pleased with whoever played Julie ANdrews part? No, everyone would be complaining that they loved the original so much better and didnt want a new version of it....THat being said, I believe Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a success. everybody is going to complain that they really loved Gene Wilder and that Johnny Depp is a weirdo...But that is just the character of Willie Wonka. Depps part did seem a little lite in the loafers and as a huge Depp fan, I had a rough time accepting his new image of powdery white skin, strange hair (but we all loved him in Siccor hands) and disturbingly straight teeth. But this new screenplay offered more background into the makings of the man Wonka.I found it entertaining, was amazed at the bravery it took to attempt recreating such a favourite story, and the performances were well played and unique.
