Oh good - I just wrote this review right now. Might as well post it here.

The Mist - 1/2 / 10.

Terrible acting - terrible delivery of mediocre lines. Unrealistic plot themed loosely threaded on survival but ends up feeling much too character-oriented, and the characters were too weak.

The special effects could be called decent - they would have fared better 10 years ago. However, that is considering if Starship Troopers hadn't come out.

I was disgusted at the end of the movie. Frank Darabont, you're a terrible person. Dimension Films is also a terrible company for stepping in - Darabont was trying to sell this movie, and specifically this ending, for 10 long years. There's a reason nobody else wanted it, Dimension. It's because it personally went and broke every fucking bee's knee from here to Gibraltar.

Damn, I really wanted to see this too...I read the Stephen King story a long time ago and I loved it so I was excited for this...I guess I shouldn't be anymore.

Idiocracy 7/10

Quite funny movie about a guy who's frozen for 500 and then awakes in a world that hasn't become smarter, but much dumber.

The movie Bug -- at the ending, everything that is brought up during the plot of the movie is given absolutely zero explanation. There I said it. I hope it spoils it for everyone so no one goes and wastes their time seeing it. Hated it.

Austin Powers: Goldmember

What happened to Felicity Shagwell? She's there at the end of the second film but just disappears without explanation in the third one. They didn't even write her off as a Fembot.

I saw it over the summer in Theatres at the only place that was showing it in my area. Not sure why it took so long to be released on DVD, but its a great movie. I just bought it yesterday. Loved it just as much the second time watching it. There are some truly epic space scenes in it that are too awsome for words.

I really liked Sunshine, but that...villain they shoehorned into the end really knocked it down from a "great" movie in my book.
