Sleepy Hollow (1999)

I got interested in this movie purely for Johnny Depp and i can say that it is just watchable. You don't feel lke that through the beginning of the movie, but towards the end it becomes so purely a fantasy that you don't feel like being associated with it. Otherwise, its a perfectly fine movie. Terrific performance as always from Depp. Tim Burton does a great job in thrilling the audience so much so i thought this is going to be a horror movie. great settings throughout the movie. The rest of the cast are purely supportive, nothing much warranted of them.

performance 8/10
concept 7/10
screenplay 8/10
technical 8/10

overall 7.7

Music and Lyrics (2007)

can't help it; I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. couple that with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore in the lead and you can expecting something really nice. i did and i'm not disappointed. Music and Lyrics is the perfect movie to soothe your nerves after a hard day's work. It flows along effortlessly with typical performances from Grant and Barrymore. There's delightful on screen chemistry between them and that goes a long way to show how important casting is. I mean, here's a movie that has a done to death basic theme; it's the actors that give it life. Hugh Grant seems to specialize in self-abasing roles and Drew Barrymore in hare-brained ones. Its a cute combination and it works here.


Nothing much else to mention here. Not a movie to be dissected for technicalities. Watch it and observe a smile appear on your lips. simple :)
