Did you know Daniel Radcliffe's first big post-Potter movie comes out next weekend? If you haven't heard much about it, here's the reason why.

February is one of those winter months when not-so-hot movies are dumped into theaters with little fanfare. Radcliffe's film, a horror chiller called "The Woman in Black," hasn't been what you'd call overpublicized -- you've probably seen more posters for "Underworld: Awakening." And if you're thinking that Mr. Potter's presence alone should spell big box office, think again: Late last year, Daniel Craig (Mr. Bond himself) starred in a horror flick called "Dream House" that quickly vanished from theaters.

We'll find out Friday whether "The Woman in Black" is typical winter trash or a hidden gem. Meantime, here are some other February releases that show glimmers of promise.
