The Mist (based on a Stephen King story). Hm... I'll give it a 6. Maybe 7.
A decent monster movie, but some stuff was annoying (a religious woman who keeps shouting that it's Gods judgement day).

I found the best part of the movie was the people stuck inside and looking for someone to blame. They really should not have shown the monsters. They should have just kept them hidden in the mist

That's the problem with a lot of monster movies. That most monsters just can't be as scary as the ones you imagine.

It's like when you grow up and watch older horror movies and realize the bad special effects and cheesy costumes.

i saw "Tropic Thunder" a few days ago, and my oh my, i must say that movie was not THAT funny. i really only felt like the parts with tom cruise were funny, it was so odd seeing him play such a comical/ridiculous part. Ben Stiller basically created that movie himself after i saw the credits roll, all i saw were "Ben Stiller." Jack Black's character was flat-out stupid, and Robert Downey Jr. was "decent", but all-in-all, i just didn't think that movie was as comedic as planned to be.

i saw this movie called "Garden Party" last night, and it was a bit hard to follow. there were five central characters, and with each character, came a different problem, or pet-peeve in the movie. things bounced around and you could tell the ideas were quite scattered throughout. i might have to give it another watch just to be able to explain what the movie itself was actually about.

I thought the monsters were actually pretty good. A lot of different ones. It's a shame we never saw the first one again.

My brother and me recognized the typical King parts, where you have some characters speculating what's going on. It was even worse in The Langoliers, where the writer was just guessing and got it right.

Also, I wondered if this was just a random story that King came up with when he was sitting on the toilet.
"Hm..... mist! Hm.... monsters from another dimension.... A crazy religious woman... a crazy ending. Should be another bestseller!"
