i'm on a holiday at the moment-using up some long service leave
as i can't do anything more than day trips, i can't eat or drink, and dialysis wears me out three days out of every seven, I'm using the time to catch up on DVDs and sky movies I've missed:
The Mist
This is the third film that Frank Darabont has made based on wworks By Stephen King. Whereas "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile" suited Darabont's carefully paced style, the story of The Mist was always meant as a cheesy B Movie. The casting of Thomas Jane as a kind of poor mans Viggo Mortenson is a step in the right direction, but ultimately, the film was too slow moving.

maybe not movies to put on my watch list then? I'm still working through the Herzog-Kinski boxset ... problem is, no one at home wants to watch too and so I have to grab moments.
