So, just came back from the new ''Potter'' film, in other words 'The Woman in Black'...
And I have to say, I was expecting it to be good (after waiting a millennium to see it, mind you love), but it was BLOODY FREAKING BRILLIANT! Exaggeration?

I don't think it was difficult at all to separate Arthur from Harry in this film. I didn't think it would be, and I'm glad the film proved me right. Not once in the film did I think for a moment, ''Harry Potter'' (although I did keep seeing Boq, but that's another story). Daniel completely broke away. Good job, Dan. This film proves he can actually act.
As for Emma, she's destined to become the next Costume Queen, unfortunately.
Onto the next...
I rarely jumped in the film, esp. because I expected things to pop out behind every corner when the music stopped. And to be honest, it's not really the actual images that make you jump, but the sound effects. God, it's annoying. I hate when they do that in horror. It's come to the point where it's become so commonly mainstream and cliche. Alfred Hitchcock was the first to do it, then everybody started copying him. I understand you want to build suspense, but after awhile, it becomes so old. Other than that, I didn't find that this film overdid it in any way like some horror films.
As for El Durado, I will NEVER looks at that scene the same way again. And esp. not the Woman in Black herself:
I QUOTE: ''And The Woman In Black kept popping up in scene all like [this]''
You bet she did.
All-in-all, great movie!
I cried so hard!
And the ending was so fucking depressing.

The annoying sound effects weren't too overdone, however, it didn't lessen the irritation. For that, the rating I give the film lost a few points.
Although, the makeup for the Woman in Black was a bit overdone at times. Like, her death wasn't that gruesome. Like you said, it's not like the wild wolves came and ate a portion of her face, but bloody hell that's what it looked like! I know she was sick, but still... The musty corpse look was a little overboard. I didn't get a close look at her features until she flew across the room screaming in Arthur's face. It wasn't until then I realised how macabre she appeared. It was nothing like the original 80s TV movie, that's for sure.
Also, you'd think when they dug up her son's body, he'd be nothing but bones. His death wasn't exactly recent since he passed away in 1889, and the film is set somewhere in the late 1890s. Could wet marsh preserve a body like that? I didn't think the body would still be intact like it was, even though the face was decaying.
Oh, and a belated thank you for the v-gift you sent me a week ago. ♥

The waters of Lake Superior are very cold, but 1927 until now is 2008 is 81 years, unless Whitey's Pockets are filled with Styrofoam, the body is not still floating or in a suspended state of buoyancy, which at time of death and for a short time afterwards could have been, but Mr. Whitey’s body has long decayed or has been the meal of underwater organisms, now it could be remotely possible [that fresh water, under certain temperatures can preserve dead bodies].
Could a Human Body be preserved in somewhat of a recognizable state in such cold water conditions for 81 year or longer, I am not sure but I would not rule it out either...
I would suspect that there would be many Bodies of past tragedies that drivers would have discovered the partial or whole remains of if the cold fresh water lake conditions were true in preserving Human remains...
