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.
