Johnny Depp: On the Cutting Edge
by french_film_grl
If you love Johnny Depp, wait no longer for your fix. Get to the theater and see him and Tim Burton create cinematic.
Sweeney Todd, originally a Broadway musical, tells the story of Benjamin Barkerd. Benjamin is sent away for a crime he did not commit, and once freed, opens up a barber shop in downtown London. Using the barber shop as a cover, he vows vengeance upon those who wrongfully made him suffer.
Below the barber shop is Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pie Shop. Upon meeting Mrs. Lovett, Helena Bonham Carter, a mutually beneficial partnership blooms.
This wonderfully sinful Tim Burton version of Sweeney Todd won 2 Golden Globe Awards. Depp & Burton are magnificent together. Be ready for a movie that promises "The closest shave you will ever see..."

New Stories to Go Bags!
by anonymous
Pittsfield now offers Stories to Go bags! Also carried at the Downtown Library and at the Mallets Creek Branch, these canvas bag kits contain an activity folder, a CD or a DVD, and a few books centered on various subjects. We have six new themes this year! These include: Bedtime, Food & Eating, Going to School, New Baby, Potty Time, and Teeth.
The Teeth Stories to Go bag, funded by the American Dental Association, includes such fabulous activities as singing Brush Your Teeth to the tune of Jingle Bells and Sparkle, Sparkle to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. It also provides directions to an experiment, using an egg, illustrating how acid weakens your teeth. Kids become acquainted with visiting a dentist’s office through a DVD from their perspective. Plus, great characters like the Berenstain Bears take the fear out of a visit to the dentist and educate kids about their teeth! Dr. Karen Stewart developed the teeth kit. She is completing an oral health literacy project with the American Dental Association Institute for Leadership and Diversity.
