Three times lucky?

Frank Darabont and Stephen King made history with their two latest collaborations.
Hell, Frank even made Stephen come off as a decent writer behind those freaky glasses.
Watched their third, and what I was dumb and hope to be greatest effort together, The Mist, yesterday.
And I’ve seen a lot of crappy movies in my day, buy few that are suppose to be good.
Usually you know you’re gonna watch a bad movie before you see it, that’s one of the reasons you rented it – to waste your time by choice.
Now before I start, it didn’t suck as much it may sound, but it was really, really annoying sometimes.
Few things are as disturbing as when a movie tries too much.
Wants to be horror film, check – but failed, wants to be about human psychology in trapped situations, check – but failed, about religion and the holy bible, check – but failed, and suddenly the movie finds itself trapped, what am I, it asks and War of the Worlds and Cloverfield comes to mind, wait Gladiator’s got great score and then it realize it’s from the ink of King and decides to be bad about all of the above and worse when it comes to characters.
Who does these things they do in the movie.
Forced scenes where you can see how the director tries to make it seem like everyone is involved and not just our “hero, the “mass-scenes” (they are like 30 people) when no one knows what to do, cause someone failed to tell ‘em where the cgi will appear and you know it’s not hard to do this cause you’ve seen worse actors cope with it in worse movies.
Two days trapped in a grocery store and they freak out– but not in the normal way of panic, no they convert to crazy bible studies and goes lunatics on themselves.
Hallelujah and good night Frank, you have a lot to prove and ten year old prison movies won’t do, no matter how great they were.
Could never be accepted in sport, just imagine.
- Why did you suck, Liu Xiang?
- Well I won four years ago, so I decided to let down and extinguish every single Chinese hope here at home.
- Fair enough, Liu, why try harder just because you made it once, right?
