We saw The Woman in Black last night. I have various quibbles with it, but overall it was a fine way to spend a few hours. I probably best liked the atmospheric road to the house, and some of the nice cinematograpy/visual details. Will save other comments for email (hopefully PC fixed this afternoon) to avoid spoilery comments. M, like you, is familiar with the history (read book, seen other versions) and she liked it even more than I did!

Re Mayans : God, yes. ;o)
