Review – Into the Woods, the film

Who ever thought they’d see a film where Annette Crosbie is eaten alive by Johnny Depp?

Then again who ever thought we’d write about a film? Yes, a bit out of our comfort zone this, reviewing a trip to the flicks. Though the comfort of most picture houses is far greater than almost any theatre seat.

He saw a preview of Into the Woods a week ago and frustratingly has been sitting on a most uncomfortable embargo ever since.
