We went to see Dark Shadows last night, and came away unsmitten. I like Johnny Depp in any role, but this one is so thin and trite he couldn't rescue it. It's a bunch of vampire clichés rattling around in a shapeless container. A few good sight gags and groaner lines . . . the teenaged girl asks Barnabas Collins, "Are you stoned, or what?" He replies, "They tried stoning me once. It did not work."
and this exchange . . . .
