In other news: I saw Sleepy Hollow finally.
God almighty, did that suck. Facking awful.
It could have been a good movie, but wasn't at all.
Predictable, trite, full of occurences (like a detonating
windmill) acts (like Depp suddenly learning how to fight) and
deductions (like Depp guessing what was really happening and how)
that just didn't seem possible. And although I'm a really big
Depp fan, and he wasn't bad, his performance was at times
a little too much influenced by the execrable Tim Burton for me
to really heartily endorse it.
The Horseman. The Horseman was cool. But if you've avoided the
movie this far, I advise you to continue doing so. I wouldn't
even rent it. A bad-assed Horseman, some nice cleavage, a few
good special effects, a few nice shots, and a so-so Depp to the
positive -- a lot of gratuitous pitches to the Wicca crowd, a
cheesy and trite plot full of stock characters and predictable
yet unbelievable actions, large gaps in the logic, a lousy
ending, and Burton's typical distracting and self-indulgent hand
in events to the negative.
