The Mist
« on: April 06, 2008, 02:55:38 pm »
Inspired by Stephen King. Probably because it was originally written by him. :)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0884328/

I really, really enjoyed this movie. People think the ending ruins it... I thought the ending was well done.

My one complaint is that it slows down slightly in the middle. Otherwise, it holds your attention easily.

4.5/5 stars.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

oh c'mon, the ending didn't suck. what'd you expect? one guy to go random mode and kill monsters the size of a building? the only thing about the ending that i didn't like was that i could see it coming from a mile away.

Ending was way too cliche. I honestly was disgusted with it, one of the more interesting parts was the painting in beginning of the movie was a replica of The Dark Tower I enjoy the slight subtleys a lot of directors will throw in there for references and symbols.

well, this was a stephen king movie, after all. they're not usually the highest quality movies. the monsters looked like clay figures.

It was the concept behind all of this that made the movie interesting. :)

Yeah.. I hated the ending. :(
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.
