I went to see "The Mist" last night, and I thought it was pretty good. It did remind me, in parts, of a "B-movie" or at least one you would see on TV as a mini series. There were a few parts in it that were slower, and I have to admit I was highly annoyed at all the young people in the theater that had zero respect to those around them. There was a couple in front of us that kept taking out their cell phone. The light was so bright; it distracted me from the movie. Then, the group of girls behind me kept talking and shaking their popcorn bag. I turned around and gave them the dirty looks, but it only lasted a few minutes. It was pointless to ask them to be quiet, because almost the entire theater was loud. Obviously, I only noticed it during the quiet, slow parts of the movie. Everyone was cheering and shouting during more intense, louder scenes. It was one of the worst crowds I've ever seen a movie with.

Other than all that, the movie was great. The ending really surprised me. I won't give anything away to those that still want to see it, but OMG! I couldn't believe it. I will definitely be renting/buying this when it comes out on DVD.

I'm a huge Stephen King fan, but I have not read any of his books. I've seen almost all of his films, and mini series. IT used to scare the sh*t out of me when I was a kid. I've hated clowns since I've seen that and Poltergeist. I am a huge fan of horror movies. Not so much the gore, but just the fear. I HATE spiders and last night I about threw up during certain scenes in "The Mist". LOL I told my friend that I went with that it would be so funny if someone would sit in the back with a handful of fake gummy spiders and throw them at the perfect moment in the crowd. I would have loved to have done that last night. LOL Damn kids...wasn't so long ago I used to be that age, but I don't think I ever acted like that! At least I hope not!
