If you could see the pictures from out there (we're back in Tokyo now for te duration) you'd hate me more than a little.

Holy crap is Extract bad. We bailed on the disc.

I kind of liked it in a forgettable way.

Has anyone seen The Hole (in 3D or flat) - I've ordered it because it was on special, and I'm hoping its not because it was a stupid movie. It looks alright from the trailer.

Is that the movie about Paris Hilton?

Now why am I not surprised by that. Amused, but not surprised.

So, does anyone want to come downunder and see the hole in 3D ?

That seems a little forward.

Thanks to Netflix I caught The Woman in Black over the weekend. One of those cases where the trailer was more enticing than the film itself. Very nearly a solo performance for Daniel Radcliffe. Ciran Hinds had the only other role of some substance. All the other characters were pretty much cameos. The mystery was pretty easy to figure out and the few moments of surprise really went nowhere. The ending was totally predicatable.

Some good and moody cinematography. Grim landscapes and dark hallways. Good shots of creepy toys and dolls. Scary clown doll spoiler for BtD. I found earlier Hammer films much scarier growing up. This had production values Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee would have loved to have had. Old Hammer had better plots with loads of good cheese factor. This had no cheese factor. Happy I waited for Netflix.

I tried to watch The Woman in Black on our flight to Japan a couple week sago. Only made it about 20 minutes in before I switched to This Means War instead.

This Means War was absolutely awful, but at least I was able to finish it.

Went to see Snow White and The Huntsman on Friday. There were things I really liked about it (the costumes, the special effects, the dwarfs), but I couldn't help but think that I'm about 30 years too old and the wrong gender to really appreciate the flick. I guess if you're a Hunger Games / Twilight fan, this movie would be right up your alley...
