A Must Have For Parrot Lovers
Parrots of the World is one of the most referenced parrot identification books available today. It is a parrot watcher's bible. This particular book has been reprinted at least 4 times and that speaks very well it. Joseph Forshaw is well respected in the avian community and William T.Cooper's illustrations are frame able. Even young children delight in looking at the pictures. Great for any parrot lover's library and a great coffee table book as well.

A masterpiece of the macabre
1 of 1 found this helpful Tim Burton's version of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street is magnificent! I have already viewed it 5 times and I know I'll be viewing it many, many more. Johnny Depp is perfection. How in the world a man can be sexy while slashing throats with a barber's razor is beyond me, but he does. He always seems to truly understand his characters and the quirkier, the better. He is so believable that its unsettling at times. Pairing him with Helena Bonham Carter is genious. They belong together! So much so, that I hope they appear in many, many more movies. Just amazing chemistry.
Alan Rickman who plays the evil Judge Turpin, sets off a series of unimaginable events when his lust for a beautiful young woman causes him to send the young husband, played by Johnny Depp, away for over a decade on false charges. This causes extreme hardship on the young family and ultimately, collapse.
I don't want to reveal too much, the story actually begins when Benjamin Bark aka Sweeney Todd returns and decides to reek his revenge on the judge who destroyed everything he ever loved.
Not since West Side Story have I truly enjoyed a musical score as much as this one. Stephen Sondheim once again brings it to the table. I am still singing the lyrics. I cannot get them out of my head.
This movie is actually based on a true story about a barber who killed many, many people and teamed up with an equally mad woman who decided to create a very unique restaurant.
This is a very bloody movie. However, it's not excessive considering the facts.
I give this the highest possible rating. I love this movie.
