The Mist

I went to the Bell Canyon Pavilion 8 theatres yesterday and saw Steven Kings "The Mist". It was $1.50 Tuesday and so I thought... why not. Well, the movie was great no doubt. It's about this mist that rolls into a small town after a big storm hits, and something in this mist is killing people. What's cool about this movie is that I was more horrified about what was happening among the people taking refuge in a grocery store, than I was when they ventured into the dangerous mist. This movie really dives into what can happen when fear strikes at the heart of man. They do a very good job in explaining the psychology of how, when people are scared enough, you can get them to do just about anything. The effects were awesome and the storyline was great. The ending was very... Wow! I recommend this movie, there is no nudity, there are a few curse words but not so much it takes away from the movie going experience. I must say, the "bad lady" in the movie is shown twisting the word of God around and manipulating people through fear, and I think it was done in such an extreme way, that someone who has no knowledge of Christianity would be able tell that this lady was NUTZ and not preaching Gods true message of salvation. Well I hope someone would recognize that’s not what Christians believe.

So on a side note: It was $1.50 Tuesday and, there plenty of talkers, people on cell phones, and people who feel the need to get up every 2 minutes to pee or snort crack or whatever it was they were doing. So yes cheap movies are fun, but uh the crowd is what you would expect.
