The footnotes, so many footnotes

Some interesting points made, but...

Narrative history that sometimes misses deeper analysis of why it happened. It seems well researched, using the accounts of the period. I don't generally have an issue with footnotes, but I think the author overuses them sometimes, and many of the footnotes could be incorporated into the text or dropped entirely as they sometimes go off at a tanget. Not always a fan of her writing, it's quite wandering and tries to mix an accesible history style with more of an academic writing style. It doesn't really give the reader a great sense of the period atmosphere and concentrates very heavily on what happened at the trials. She was apparently deliberately avoiding explainations, however she attempts to explain the instigators' "hysteria" that originally prompted the accusations of witchcraft; that the symptoms occured in the parsonage, the most repressive environment. The accusations gained the "victims" attention and a respite from chores. I was surprised that there was no map of the village.

Johnny Depp

Boring plot

Not fantastic

A lame and forgettable spinoff of the Harry Potter series. The cgi works sometimes but mostly doesn't, and Johnny depp appearing is a dumb twist that doesn't make sense. This movie's only getting a sequel because the fanboys and fangirls love it.
