I consider it a tremendous mark in favor of The Woman in Black that not once during its running time did I think, Hey, wait, wouldn’t Harry Potter have a spell to deal with this?

question of the day: Is there any good reason for Warner Bros. to pull the Harry Potter DVDs from stores?

Is this fair to fans? Does this benefit fans? Or is it just a way to force any fencesitters to spend who might not otherwise bother to buy the DVDs right now?

question of the day: What movies succeed entirely on the basis of casting and performances alone?

Since the question from prompted by a stage performance, feel free to include theater if you want. TV, too… though I suspect that as a longer form of storytelling, TV can’t ever cut it on actors alone.

This is simply a great flick: powerfully emotional, profoundly resonant, scary and funny and intense and wholly enrapturing.

Facebook smears Google; Disney trademarks “Seal Team 6”; men made ‘Bridesmaids’ suck; more: leftover links

Plus: Johnny Depp can’t see his own 3D POTC movie; Woody Allen sorta down on his own movies; why did Mel Gibson’s The Beaver flop?

shouldn’t Harry Potter believe magic is “proper”?

Something has been bugging me since I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 last autumn, and now that the film is out on DVD, it’s time to exorcise it…
