[yoo-neek]Willy Wonka, Edward Scissorhands, Ichabod Crane, Ed Wood, Captain Jack Sparrow, Sweeny Todd, John Dillinger, "Crybaby" Walker... Yes I am talking about Johnny Depp! While I do not want to mislead you into thinking I am a crazed Johnny Depp fan, because really I am not, what I am, however, is intrigued by his roles. Unique, is absolutely what his characters are, and I love that. When I go to a movie he is in, I know that the character is not one he has played before. That is what piques my interest!
Think about it, there is truth to what I am saying. Not many actors have truly unique character roles. It is the same role with a different name in every movie. Jackie Chan for instance, great actor, makes us laugh, always some type of kick but role over and over. And yes don't get me wrong, some of my absolute favorite actors play recurring roles, gosh some of my favorite moves have the same theme... boy and girl, love, happily ever after... a.k.a chick flicks. ha! Take even the actor who plays Harry Potter, I don't even know his name, he is just Harry Potter and in 10 years when he is in a movie he'll still be Harry Potter! And again don't get me wrong I am a fan of HP, 28 years old and into the books and so excited when a new film is released! Could you have guessed that? But the point , back to the point here, can you really say that about Johnny Depp ? No you cannot, his characters are truly unique! Truly memorable because they are different!

So now, a new character... The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. I asked Danny if we could go to the movies to see it while he is home. He surprised me, and got us tickets to see Alice, this Sunday night, at the IMAX in 3D. I love my husband, he always goes the extra mile for me! I cannot wait to see it, a lot of great actors and actresses, a lot of talent, and the story itself a lot lot lot of bizarre... ohhhhh the memories begin, Caterpillar, the Queen of Hearts, tweedle dee, tweddle dum, Cheshire cat... and the list keeps going... Thanks again baby, I am so excited and I won't be late for our very important date! ha!
