The Woman in Black: The Nerd Appropriate Review
A movie called “The Woman in Black” appeared in my Direct TV queue the other day and because of my unnatural obsession with all things paranormal, there was little I could do to combat its pull. Now, before you get all “OMG, I can’t believe you didn’t know about it” or “Ugh, isn’t that the one with Harry Potter not being Harry Potter” on me, hear me out. This film was quite good. Yes, it can be difficult to see Daniel Radcliffe as anything other than the brooding kid with glasses and an owl, but the way the movie progressed from first conflict to denouement was outstanding. I literally screamed at a couple key points in between, so the thrill factor was certainly present.
I’m stoked for Captain America and the trailer actually looks pretty good.
The Captain America trailer was FAR better than I had expected. I was thinking the promotional stills of the suit, and some of the set pics looked a bit cheese, but it seems they nailed the vibe and look of the era. It looks more Indiana Jones than Phantom.
That being said, this movie looks like it will work because of the noir-y setting, so I’m wondering how cornball Cap’s gonna look in the Avengers movie; my guess is they’re going to try and fix that by making the suit more “gritty” and “dark”
I think it looks amazing. Being a huge WW2 buff it’s great to see the experimental Horton Flying V in action. I wrote a script in 2006 about WW2 and half the shit I put in it has been “stolen” by the movie mafia. /sad face
