    et us get this over with right away. I do not think Johnny Depp was the right person for playing Ichabod Crane. Maybe I am too influenced by seeing him in Pirates of The Caribbean but I just do not think he was the right person for this role. He really did not work for me. He is to whimsical and gesticulating to be taken seriously as a scientifically inclined crime investigator as far as I am concerned. Too bad si…

    It is you, Ichabod Crane, who is now put to the test. Sleepy Hollow is directed by Tim Burton and co-adapted to screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker and Kevin Yagher from the The Legend of Sleepy Hollow written by Washington Irving.

The story is set in 1799 and involves Crane, a constable from New York City, going to the Dutch hamlet of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of gruesome murde…

    Well, it has a great cast, and they all do a great job. But, it's really Tim declaring to the world that he is too lazy to read...again. Much like he was with Batman and absolutely every other adaptation that he's made. I had a girlfriend when I was an undergrad that absolutely totally loved a lot of books...but only ever actually read "The Mists of Avalon."...she was an art major too. So, it turns into Tim …
