[Jean]

how was Breathless?

[fernandito]

I didn't like it, tbh. Was it supposed to be existential and/or introspective? It came across as rather superflous to me. The use of lighting was great at times ... but other than that I don't really have much to say about it. I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't.

Ooh, how was Flight? it looks good...I am looking forward to seeing it

[Ricky]

It was good, but it didn't go in the direction I thought it would. Everything was well done, more or less, but a couple times through the film, I found myself wondering, what am I supposed to be waiting for here? It didn't always do a great job of telling you its focus. But I'd definitely recommend it. Denzel was very, very good, but I don't think his role was juicy enough to get him an Oscar nomination.

Lisa did you like the The Woman In Black?

[Darkthoughts]

Yes. I wish I'd watched it at the cinema now. I loved the old Hammer Horror feel, the sets and costumes were amazing, but the ending let it down...it should have been dark, not soppy.

[Jean]

<...>the ending let it down...it should have been dark, not soppy.

hear, hear

Still, you think it is worth to see, so I will. Thanks.

[Ricky]

I was definitely not impressed with The Woman in Black. The fist 20-30 minutes were interesting and the atmosphere was spooky, but after about the tenth attempt at "scaring" the audience and Harry Potter spending the entire movie walking around that house with a candle, it was clear that it had nothing else to offer (if there's ever an Oscar for Best Actor Walking in An Abandoned House, Daniel'd definitely get it). And the ending was a cop-out, for sure.
