The Mist

The Mist by Stephen King come to theater just in time. November is a notorious month for fog in Oregon. This makes for a perfect get away from the real fog and be envelope in theater Mist. We've been watching the trailer on television and can't get enough of it. I want more! So here's the trailer on the computer: http://www.themist-movie.com/
A classic Stephen King novel 'The Shining' is so scary. I have the book and plan to read it. The 'RedRum' scene is so well filmed. The odd juxtaposition of camera angle puts things off kilter. It was filmed in a famous Oregon landmark call the Timberline Lodge. It's a very scary old building which still exist to this day. I have just recently watched 'Room 1403' with an equally clever device for story telling. King has a knack for this. He puts a character in a situation and we see what can happen. That is the basis for a novel. He has lots of imaginations. I also saw 'Sleepwalker'. I really think Alice Krieger, the actress who plays the mother to a teenage boy is very expressive in her role. It's about a supernatural un-dead who sucks and feeds on human breath for food. The new thriller from King is 'The Mist'. Check out the trailer. We will be going to this movie for sure.

Dune

Dune
is a very influencial movie. Last night I was watching the SC FI channel. There was a movie call 'Pitch Black'. It starts with Vin Disel. The planet has three suns. Some times the camera is red, other times it's blue. I immediately thought this is a Dune rip off. Vin was locked up in blackness, like a prison. He had to get an operation to see in the dark. Vin plays an escape convict. I didn't finish the movie. So I think it's kinda lame.

  Capote

good movie.
I didn't know that the lady who wrote 'To Kill A Mocking Bird' is Nelles Lee Harper. She was a chain smoker in the movie. I had the book by Gerald Clark but never read it. I'm curious about 'In Cold Blood' and Mocking bird.

Last Friday, we saw 'Black Dahlia' I came from the movie confused. Maybe I'll read the book.
