I went and watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the movie theater downtown last weekend. First off, the price to go to a movie here is $9.50. What the hell? Then you pay another $4.50 for a large soda that doesn’t come with free refills. AND the theater is in one of those gray areas that is just far enough from every method of public transit available. Not fun.

The movie was extremely well done. It has that flair that is really only seen in Tim Burton films. I was most impressed with Deep Roy’s performance as the Oompa Loompas. I would definitely recommend you check it out!

I am going to sit down and watch Ed Wood tonight before I go to bed. But first, I am going to go to the Chicago Outdoor Film Festival’s presentation of My Darling Clementine.
