The Online Home of Jeffery MacKinnon

Last night I went kicking and screaming to “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and I must say that I enjoyed it. The main reason that I was thinking that I wouldn’t like it was that I liked the old version with Gene Wilder called Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. However the 2005 version with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka was very different than the old verison, but very true to the spirit of the story.

Like I said I was very skeptical when going into the theatre, I had no idea what to expect. One thing was for sure, Johnny Depp made one freaky Willy Wonka. Willy was one of the better characters that I have seen in a movie for a while, and Depp played him very well. All in all I think that this movie is worth the money for the ticket and at the very least it is worth renting when it comes out on DVD.

Anyway, go out and see this movie, I don’t think that you will be disappointed
