Okay with the way the weather was yesterday, Spurs not on till later, no Cowboys game. I figured it would be a good time to catch a flick. after consulting with my fiancee we decided to go see "The Mist".
I gotta admit the movie wasn't that bad. I'm not a big Stephen King fan (I've walked away from some of his other movies). The Mist had a nice pace to it not many dead spots and it kept me on the edge of my seat, as opposed to the Hostel and Saw franchises which regurgitate blood and gore and can't even hope to achieve what was done in this film.The Mist continually builds the suspense until the end, and my gosh what an ending!!!! . It's not a horror movie per se but more like a creature feature, which was a welcome break from some of the other movies that have recently opened.
Anyway I thought it was worth the hard earned cash I s ed out, and I can't say that about too many movies that I've seen lately.
Anyone else see it??? I'd like to hear what you thought about it.
I just felt like doing this Spoiler ALERT:
The dad kills off his son and 3 other people with the four bullets left in his gun to avoid getting eaten off by the monsters then he gets out of the car to die by the monsters and when he is about to die, the soldiers come in driving off the mist. Little did he know he was running away from safety and help. Then the soldiers come to help him, but he already killed his family/friends.
Yeah the ending sucks but it was still a good movie.
This is one move I want to see.
I'll try and catch it this weekend.
King adaptations can be pretty hit or miss...
Great movie I say.....a nice reprieve from the teenager killing spree we've been fed lately. Oh, and I liked the ending....ironic and depressing. Very bleak indeed.
Sounds similar in tone to the ending of Gerry.
saw it yesterday, it's a pretty good movie. ending is.. messed up! wow. but overall i really enjoyed it.
How many creatures did they show? Did they show that humongous one that was described in the book as making a blue whale look like a trout and leaves 6 feet deep prints. That has to be one big ass mother er, because a blue whale is as big as the biggest dino's.
it had more ING LEAVE/RUN ALREADY YOU DIP S moments than any other movie i have seen lately.
They showed that one towards the end. er was a million times bigger then a Brontosaurus
Just saw it. Great ending.
I liked it a lot. When they wanted his son I started to have Storm of the Century flashbacks.
Marcia Gay Harden deserves an Oscar for her role in this movie...that had me cussing at the screen and ready to throw stuff at it...and I never do stuff like that. Anytime the bad guy pisses you off that bad...it's Oscar worthy.
And yes...I clapped, and I never usually do that either.
Crazy >Nurse Ratchet>Misery
That was the best part of the movie.......IMO!!
My advice is if you want to waste your money go watch it.......
It was worth watching. I felt the ending was a little predictable though. Marcia Gay Harden and William Sadler were awesome.
Really! I was thinking the same thing. The movie had that whole Storm of the Century feel too. But yeah I'm with you guys, a really F'ed up ending though. Especially when he has to look at the other kids driving by to safety in the humvees.
I rented this last weekend and it was the most surprisingly great movie I've seen in the past year. I expected a sort of popcorn horror flick but it was actually a social commentary along the lines of the great Romero zombie moves. 9/10
Wow I would hate to see what you thought was a bad movie.
Cloverfield
I saw the movie over the weekend.
I thought it was pretty good.
Frank Darabont really understands the Stephen King universe.
Oh, and any Dark Tower fans should know what the "mist" was even if they didn't read the book. Since we don't have Dark Tower movies, yet that is, this little glimpse into Roland Deshain's world will have to do.
Man A I don't know dude. This movie was good man!
no!!!!
it was pretty good until the end. Very solid B movie for sure.
