I went to see The Woman In Black at the cinema a while back with school (it made up some of our recent English Literature paper, with the other book being Of Mice And Men). Some scenes were genuinely terrifying, and it was a very well-crafted horror film. Although I couldn't resist laughing when someone in front of me yelled "USE YOUR WAND, HARRY!" There are plans for a sequel- here's hoping that there won't be seven and it's turned into a cash-in franchise.

Praise You should have definitely got to number one! A corker of a song! :)

I don't mind the song- not as catchy or radio-friendly as Moves Like Jagger, but it's not a bad effort. It will be interesting to see if Overexposed is a more commercialised record than Hands All Over, and how the album does internationally.

A lot better than The Hardest Ever in my opinion, but still not that interesting. However I love Eva Simons and agree that she should be a huge success in her own right. :)

Amazingly ratings were under 6 million according to Digital Spy!

I think that The Voice has lost some of its appeal now the unique Blind Auditions and Battle Rounds are out of the way- now it's got to the live shows it's beginning to feel like any other talent show. No wonder that BGT managed to pull back in the ratings.
