Tim Burton makes Disney’s ‘Sleepy
Hollow’ a fantastic horror adventure
By JOSEPH WILKIE
The Red a Black
The next time the people at
Disney remake a classic fable,
they ought to consult their for
mer associate Tim Burton.
Burton, known for his combi
nation of horror, humor and the
bizarre, might be miscast for
films such as “The Little
Mermaid,” but he is a perfect fit
for Washington Irving’s classic
horror story “The Legend of
Sleepy Hollow."
Burton's “Sleepy Hollow” is a
fantastic, dark 18th-century
American town plagued by a
horse-riding, serial-killing,
sword-wielding, head-lacking
Christopher Walken.
Rin for the whole family.
Sent to defend the hopeless,
SLEEPY HOLLOW
Starring: Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci,
Christopher Walken and Jeffrey Jones
Playing at: Beechwood, Carmike,
Commerce Drive-in
Grade:A
The lowdown: Tim Burton's latest film
is eye candy worth eating.
and of course quirky/corrupt, cit
izens of Sleepy Hollow Is New
York Constable Ichabod Crane,
played by Johnny Depp.
Depp's intentional over-acting
is probably one of the most
humorous parts of the movie,
even if it reminds you of the
William Shatner School of
Acting.
Co-starring with Depp is
Christina Ricci as love interest
Katrina Van Tassel and new
comer Marc Pickering as Crane's
sidekick Masbeth, the token “lit-
tle-kid-in-scary-movie."
Actors, actresses and rolling
heads aside, “Sleepy Hollow” is
an incredibly enjoyable adven
ture into the visual potential of
film.
Burton returns with several
members of his production
team, including composer Danny
Elfman, and the result is a fan
tastically dreamy reality fit only
for nightmares and fairy tales
OK, maybe I'm wrong. The
film may not be for the whole
family.
The kids might get a little
queasy. However, while you
watch the movie you’ll remem
ber what you felt at your first
Disney film — giddy amazement.

The performance of the ARCO Chamber
Orchestra this Saturday will be less of a musical
experience than a communication between the
heart and soul.
“Chamber music is more intimate than a larger
orchestral performance,” said Levon
Ambartsumian, a University professor and conduc
tor for the ARCO. "It goes directly to the soul and
communicates more closely with the audience to
move the mind and the heart."
The ARCO was formed in 1989 by
Ambartsumian while teaching at the Moscow
Tchaikovsky Conservatory where he served as a
professor of violin.
The ARCO members include former professors
of the conservatory and former students of
Ambartsumian.
The orchestra subsequently toured Europe until
Ambartsumian joined the University faculty in

1995. He later transferred ARCO’s base to the
United States.
The repertoire for the ARCO performance
includes a diverse program ranging from estab
lished classical works to a world-premiere perfor
mance by a University professor.
Works by Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky will
accompany the world premiere of “Anagram,” an
original work by University professor Louis
Neilson.
“The program for the performance is particular
ly diverse,” said Ambartsumian. “We are excited
about the performance of Professor Neilson’s work
because it gives us a chance to present works by
musicians on campus."
While the idea of attending a classical concert
can be particularly intimidating, Ambartsumian
said, classical music offers students a wonderful
experience that leads to even greater rewards.
“Some people think, 'If I don’t understand clas
sical music, I will not eqjoy it,’" Ambartsumian
said. “But if you let yourself open to the music and
let it move through you, it will create an under
standing for you."
Change is Good.
