Hot. Even when impersonating Michael Jackson - hot. Eccentric movie choices? Makes him even hotter. I love me some Johnny Depp. Always have, always will. He can do no wrong.
So it probably comes as no surprise that I'm giving Charlie and the Chocolate Factory a JennChantal Must See rating.
Any red blooded American should know the storyline by now. I mean, if you didn't read the Roald Dahl classic growing up, you are probably a terrorist. And if you didn't see the original Gene Wilder film, well then you are probably a commie.
But on the off chance I have any commie terrorists reading my site, here's the overview. Little Charlie Bucket lives in a shack with his parents and grandparents. They are poor. Like,
cabbage-eating poor. And then Charlie finds a golden ticket - just one of five - in his Willy Wonka Chocolate Bar. The prize is that he and his grandfather get to take a tour of Mr. Wonka's extraordinary chocolate factory. The other golden ticket winners aren't as pure of heart as Charlie is, so they don't fare so well at the factory. But most importantly, there are oompa loompas. Creepy, orange-faced, green-haired, midgets little people singing and dancing everywhere.
When I saw the previews for this remake, I got a little nervous. Yes, Johnny Depp was in it - but the
oompa loompas, they were digitally rendered. One guy, reproduced thousands of times over. But horror of horrors - HE WASN'T EVEN A REAL MIDGET LITTLE PERSON!
Well, I have to say. The movie won me over. Johnny Depp was fantastic and hot. And the oompa loompas were actually quite comical. Though, I miss the midgets little people, I'm really proud of the fact that my eye for talent didn't go undiscovered, as I'm almost positive the oompa loompa guy is actually my favorite portly Hispanic man who parades around Wilshire boulevard dressed as Batman, advertising for Aahs. Oh sure, he has a mask on - but I'm not fooled...
