[FILM: Review] DARK SHADOWS
“We’re all going to get greased up after this,” announces Johnny Depp, a cheeky smirk obscured by his famously disheveled hair. “We’re going to take some psychedelics, grease up and get in the pool. You’re all welcome to come.”

[FILM: Review] Dark Shadows
In his latest Tim Burton collaboration, Johnny Depp skewers his dreamboat rep (and apparent intransience – the guy turns 49 in a month!), playing Barnabas Collins, an affluent, Georgian-era cad turned vampire. Damned by the lovesick witch Angelique (Eva Green) to eternal life as a cadaverous blood-sucker when he affiances the virginal Josette (Bella Heathcote), he is entombed for two centuries, then, quite by accident, exhumed into the chintzy-glam world of small-town America, 1972, where he finds his lineage dwindled, the grand family estate languishing in near-ruin, and – gasp! – Angelique, nattily pants-suited and working overtime to ensure the Collins’ decline.
