Cheese Factor
Fun
Escapism
Dark Shadows is a glorious tribute to the gothic soap opera of the same name. It is deliciously camp, cheesy and extravagant - in short it is the perfect movie to watch from under the duvet whilst steadfastly avoiding the January chill outside.
Johnny Depp (disclaimer I’m biased I think the man is a marvel) is everything you need in this role, fun Fact - did you know that as a child he used to dress up as this character for Halloween.
It is the most technically superb film of all times but it’s fun and sassy.

Admit yourself into the Ninth Gate
I've witnessed this film get some stick but to me, it hits the spot on numerous levels and I can't understand where these people are coming from. Polanski is giving us a mysterious, dark and intriguing piece of work. The film revolves around the subject of a powerful book that for some, is worth more than life itself. The story sends Dean Corso (depp) on an investigation into the dark origins of the book and the once superficial rare book dealer finds a new infatuation other than himself. Great from start to finish with a great performance from all the cast, especially Depp and Frank Langella as Boris Balkan. For me it's a must.

"Rick Rubin embraced Johnny Cash when he was floundering without a label. Rick thought this was unthinkable. He started soliciting writers beyond the country community and they did two great, odd, dark records. I wound up writing a song called 'I Witnessed A Crime' without knowing that Rick was going in this more contemporary vein. I later discovered it was too mid-’50s; too perfect for old-school Johnny Cash. So it didn't reach release until it was bootlegged out of the studio and found its way to YouTube. 

Rick called me up – I live just walking distance from house-to-house: ""Can you come over?"" I said, ""Well, you still got that old Fender guitar down there? If you let me play it I'll come on down."" He had this stunning Fender Esquire from 1954. I walked down and the door opened up, he ushered me into the living room and sitting on the sofa was Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. I was dumbfounded. So we sat down this close and he said, ""I like that song."" June started welling up and said, ""Ooh, you played the solo just like Luther Perkins."" I said, “Well, I'd like you to help me get through it.” We wound up singing it across the table. Little did I know that Rick had hidden microphones, capturing the whole thing."

Mixed bag
Both me and my son looked forward to this film. As avid Pottermore followers and wizarding world fanatics this film was hit and miss. To start with it showed dark promise but chugged on with odd plotlines and unnecessary charachter additions. I also felt sorry for Eddie as his acting he was overshadowed by Judes Dumbledore somewhat. The other main characters in the first film were either background filler or dilluted down which was unfortunate.
Now to Johnny Depp......... Grindlewald was an opportunity missed in so many ways. My son asked at one point why he talked like Jack Sparrow which killed it for me even more.
Where were the beasts? We got a few newbies but to call a film fantastic beasts when there was very little of them is misleading and it should have been called the Origins of Dumbledore.
The best bit- baby nifflers and my favourite Pickett.
For a casual Potter fan and film goer its confusing but decent. For hardcore fans its a no no, it doesn't tell you anything you don't already know or suspected.
I hope the next few are given more care and attention and Depp gets acting classes in how to be a bad guy.
