This thread is for people to talk about movies. I really like analyzing visual communication and directing videos/short films yada yada yada. I watch movies ALOT. I like to talk about plot and angles and video effects etc. I am always open for new video recomendations. If you post a review, please give us all a heads up if you will be including spoilers in your review.
I guess I can start by saying the last movie I just watched was "The Mist" based on a novel by Stephen King. I just lost two hours of my life I will never get back. I watched it alone here at my house and I have noone to review or talk about it with so I was inspired to begin this thread.
**Some what of spoilers beyond this point**
Take (1) a mysterious threat that attacks a town, and (2) a group of townspeople who take refuge together, and you have a formula apparently able to generate any number of horror movies, from "Night of the Living Dead" to "30 Days of Night." All you have to do is choose a different threat and a new place of refuge, and use typecasting and personality traits so we can tell the characters apart. Oh, and a rift in the space time continuum. Space time continuums suck cuz it doesn't help explain, it's just like "Oh well - there was a rift ya see" and thats all that need to be said - come on.
If you are into hidden things that jump out at people and low budget effects (which I totally love sometimes) then you will like it. If you think Frank Darabont has equaled the "Shawshank" and "Green Mile" track record, you will be sadly mistaken.
