UK Film Charts: February 13th-19th

The Woman In Black is still dominating- a bad sign of Potter fever?
Right now, there's quite a bad vibe surrounding The Woman In Black thanks to hundreds of fans of Daniel Radcliffe's work in Harry Potter coming away unexpectedly terrified at the daring new genre piece the previous Potter actor has endeavoured to make. Does the movie staying at the top of the charts represent this mistake of tone and audience, such is that many have said it should have been rated a 15? Certainly, from what I've seen of it (I'm not a horror fan, so don't expect a full review), Woman In Black looks like a great homage to classic horror flicks, but I can't help but think that we have to draw the line with film ratings somewhere...elsewhere, the rubbish Nic Cage superhero sequel Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance debuts at three, shifting Star Wars into fourth while The Muppets is still the week's strong runner-up. I'll also start providing Total Film's ratings here if I haven't reviewed a film myself and/or don't plan to, ensuring that you can get a good idea as to the quality of the other flicks, so look for 'TF:' before the score to see if it's a Total Film score, otherwise it's mine.
