2007 Movie Review 32 The Mist

 Sorry, but "fog" just isn't that scary.  The Mist was a 2-hour bore.  The last 15 minutes helped redeem the film a little bit - it totally wasn't a cop-out, but other than that it wasn't worth watching.  I'm not a big fan of sci-fi.  Creatures, aliens, dinosaur-looking things, whatever you want to call them, just don't scare me.

So I guess I'll get right to it. First up I want to address the weird experiences in the future that Hiro and Peter had throughout this volume. Because Hiro went to the future in either the first or second epsiode and in that episode the future was all explody with some kind...

As always, the world of indie comics never stops being interesting.  Everytime I think I'm getting a hand on this monster that is Pickle Press, some new plot twist shows up to make me realize I am forever stuck in a David Lynch film.  If only I could get Laura Harring to show up...   I started the year by working the Phoenix Cactus Con with my pal Wes Sweetser.  I love this show, and it was great to see Wes again.  It was the first time I brought Dare to the show, and it was well-received. ...

Niagara Motel (2005) Starring: Caroline Dhavernas, Kevin Pollak, Craig Ferguson, Anna Friel, Wendy Crewson, Peter Keleghan, Tom Barnett, Kristen Holden-Ried, Krista Bridges Directed by: Gary Yates I actually have four or five movies to review that are more significant and topical than this one, all of which would probably hold more interest for anyone who might read them. So why am I reviewing this little-known Canadian indie instead of, say, the biggest box office success of...
