The Mist (2007)
crappy horror scenes but decent social commentary
Wow, i really can't remember being so split up about a movie before. I'll start with what i like : The movie features a tiny mirror image of todays Western world. In other words, America! A terrible catastrophe, a crazy religious fanatic and even crazier people who listen to her and start to do her bidding. How could you sum up what happened in the US during the past 7 years any better ? A nice movie so far, but now the parts that are not that good... Maybe it's a bit conservative, but i don't believe a good horror movie's made of fancy animations (and by the way, in this movie they SUCK) or big and evil monsters. It's supsence, suspense that makes a good horror movie. And suspense is the exact thing this movie hasn't got. Several bloody slaughter scenes, some anxious shock moments.. don't get me wrong, i like splatter movies, but this ain't one... the one thing that doesn't make me give this movie a 5 or worse, is the ending... boy, what an ending! don't wanna spoiler it, but i'd say the movie is worth watching because of the ending alone..
The Simpsons: Trilogy of Error (2001)
one of my all-time favorite simpsons episodes !
to me, a long lasting simpsons veteran, this clip has everything a proper simpsons episode ought to have. the plot is wonderfully crazy and has ingenious ideas, for example lingo, the grammar robot. the splitting up into 3 parts works just fine and gives this episode its unique sign, and somehow this is creating some kind of speed, which makes the story seem tight and enjoyable. almost all the good characters (with a few exceptions) are involved in it, and the jokes are unique and delightful. i can recommend this episode to everyone really, whether you are a simpsons addict, or a greenhorn, this one will make you laugh your a** of :).
10/10, and nothing else
