Funny, dark, great music (for the over 50s)

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2012)

I'll keep it short and sweet. This movie is both funny and dark, great lines and hearkens to other genres (think: 'Death Becomes Her'). An apologetic vampire? Sorry guys, "you can't imagine how thirsty I was". Mixing Depp's anachronistic English accent and attitude with 70's Americana is Catweezle himself (maybe only good for UK residents, that connection, perhaps). Very appropriate music of the time, and attitudes of the young then. The Alice Cooper vignette, and Depp's character's misunderstanding makes a good rolling gag. Yes, it a bit corny and some might say, predictable, but what do you want from a film. Look at the poster, it doesn't pretend to be heavy, serious. Good fun, will leave you smiling, go see.
