Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow

Who's in it: Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Miranda Richardson, Chirstopher Walken

What's it about: In an attempt to promote scientific research in order to prosecute, Ichabod Crane(Depp) goes to Sleepy Hollow, a quiet farming village, to solve the murders of people who have been beheaded. He arrives and is taken care of by the Van Tassels. He falls in love with the beautiful Katrina(Ricci), but she destroys his evidence when it leads to her father. Ichabod learns of the Headless Horseman(Walken). The Horseman slings his blade to severe his victims heads and then takes them because he cannot find his own. After Katrina's father sees the Horseman coming towards her step-mother(Richardson), everything starts to come together.

What I Think: I love Tim Burton!!! I have watched this movie several times, but I think that I really paid attention this time. Depp played a character that he usually doesn't play. He usually plays a strong minded man or someone you would want to talk to or be with. Here he played a sickly and weak man who fainted many a time. He did fantastic though! Ricci did wonderful. She played a beautiful young woman. When I saw Richardson though, I could only think of her in Phantom of the Opera and Harry Potter. I saw Michael Gambon in there too. He plays Dumbledore.
