Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Don't know where to begin...let's just suffice it to say that I was disappointed by this movie. 5/10. And the only reason it's not a 3 is because of Johnny Depp's sometimes charming impressions of William H. Macy & Francis McDormand in Fargo. Not that they were particularly fitting for the role, but it was somewhat accomplished mimicry regardless. And the little dude stole the show.

Also, I just realized something about this movie, I never thought I'd see a version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where the build-up to the chocolate factory tour would be more entertaining than the spectacle of entering Willie Wonka's world. But I saw it.
