Return

I've finally joined the world of DVD, and my first two entries were The Haunting and The Sixth Sense.

As for the first, it's every bit as bad as Ace and Jack described it. Do not under any circumstances waste the hour and a half or so of your precious life required to view this film. Regarding what Jack said about copious scenes of Catherine Zeta-Jones running around scantily clad, his definitions of "copious" and "scantily" must be different from mine. (I must confess that his tease was the only reason I checked the flick out, so I'm particularly irritated over this bait and switch. Blue Juice, which I reviewed upthread is better on that score, and the laser beam scene in Entrapment--which is at least watchable--has anything in The Haunting beat as well for would-be Catherine oglers.)
