User blog:Owenguy101/Owe's Reviews Episode 1

So as a request from Sunshine, I'm going to start doing reviews on my blog posts. I've felt like doing reviews for a while because they're fun and I watch lots of movies and tv shows and play many video games. As for books, I don't read a lot (like Radi) but I'll still give reviews for some I've read. Anyway, I plan to review live action movies, animated movies, TV shows, Video Games, Music, and Books, all different genres. I also plan to do top 10s as well. One I plan to do is top 10 Total Drama episodes from each season so look forward to that. Anyway, the first one I'm going to do is a live action movie because A, it's one I've just recently seen, and B, I did a cool title car for it. Anyway, here's my first movie review along with the awesome title card. Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow.



First off, I didn't choose to watch this film because I wanted to even though I had it on DVD already. I had to watch it in my English class for school. I was shocked because for starters, the movie is rated R and it's technically a horror movie, but once the movie was done I thought it was pretty good. For starters, I had a feeling I'd like it because it's directed by Tim Burton who is one of my favorite film directors and I love the classic tale of Ichabod and the Headless Horseman. Sure people my age have probably seen the Disney version of Sleepy Hollow when they were kids but once you've seen this movie, you're probably going to think different about that movie. I thought Johnny Depp did a good job as Ichabod. He sounds very smart and does a good job as showing how Ichabod is scared of the Headless Horseman. There was a scene where Ichabod gets scared of a spider and that made most of the kids in my class laugh, especially the girls. Christina Ricci was great as Katrina Van Tussel too. I loved her as Wednesday Addams in the Addams Family movies and seeing her in this movie was fun too. But in my opinion, the best character in the entire movie was Christopher Walken as the Headless Horseman. Sure he doesn't really have dialog but his makeup before he lost his head was pretty cool, especially the teeth. I've heard Ray Park played him for most other scenes probably because the film had some action scenes and I don't really think of C.W. as an action star. However, I'm still not sure who played him for the rest of the movie when he didn't have his head but I'm sure I'll find out soon when I do more research. About the plot, I'm not going to spoil it so if you want to find out look it up online or try and find a copy of the movie. Before I go, I have to explain some of the content included because it is an R rated movie. The back of the DVD says there's gore but I didn't see to much gore included. There's mostly decapitations, disections, and at one point someone gets impaled by a fence post but other than that, there's not too much compaired to other horror films. If you're someone who doesn't like to get freaked out by stuff, here's some stuff you should look out for. At one point there's a witch in the woods who's eyeballs pop out of her head and her face is mostly rotted so that's one scary scene. Also, there's the tree of the dead which is full of severed heads. Lastly, the Headless Horseman is pretty scary, always appearing in fog and chopping peoples heads off, and even when he has his head he still looks pretty scary. Overall, I thought it was pretty good. I'm not a guy who likes horror but I do love suspenseful movies and this is a good example. It's not perfect but it's still worth a look. I recomend it to people who are 13 and older and like horror. I don't recommend it to people who are younger than 13 and are easily scared. Anyway that's it. Stay tuned to my next review which will be on a TV show. Also, stay tuned to my upcoming stories and TD:FC characters.

My rating for the movie: 8 out of 10 stars.
